03 · Why this is a fit / risks

Fit

  • naics   541512 is your primary NAICS — SAM registration current. [SAM]
  • setaside   SDVOSB total set-aside; you hold a current VetCert verification. [VetCert]
  • past-perf   3 CPARS-rated DoD helpdesk contracts in the last 36 months, all rated Very Good or higher. [CPARS export]
  • tech   ServiceNow, AD, Intune MDM are all in your standard tech stack.
  • geo   You have W-2 staff within 50 miles of Columbus, OH for on-site coverage.

Risks & red flags

  • gap   No prior award with DLA J6 specifically; agency history score is 55. Mitigate with capture call to Small Business Specialist before Q&A.
  • gap   Tier 2 staffing depth requires teaming. Identify a Tier 2-heavy SDVOSB sub before Section L review.
  • risk   After-hours T&M CLIN ceiling caps revenue if utilization is low. Model break-even at 18% utilization.
  • risk   ServiceNow PROD environment access requires CAC; confirm contractor CAC eligibility timeline.
