You'd rather watch me on a video tell it for you So we're gonna while that's pulling up We'll go back to our screening. We'll keep going And let's see what else is going on out here Make my janitorial people wait a little bit more Well, by the way, if you want to look it up, it's right here. Here's the number You can look it up three six c two five six two zero q one one four one I'm looking I'm looking survey mapping and geospatial services architect and engineer ida q I know people that do geospatial services. I know people that do survey mapping geotechnical services a and e ic contract I know the geotechnical people that the people that offer geotechnical services are not here Looking opportunities the majority of this is the people who actually perform this type of work They don't have business development folks scouring beta dot sam dot gov for opportunities Normally what happens is a large company is scouring this stuff They grab it and then they outsource it to the smaller guy and they make the spread Some people call it middleman. Some people call it prime subcontract relationship It doesn't matter what you call it The point is if you're watching me and you've made it this far in the video You have an opportunity to create a path for yourself to generate income for yourself because Why you're paying attention and you've made it this far This one that was interesting this car washing one. All right, let's see. So looks like this other one might be back up again The pws one that we talked about for my janitorial folks All right, it's pulling it up on the screen. I'm looking at it I have no way of showing it to you as of now Oh, I actually I do hold on Let me switch. I'm going to switch screens. So I can show you this All right, this is the pdos. I'm looking at that. I pulled up for the temporary staffing for janitorial I just want to know where it's at so I can tell some people Okay, I don't want to hold up the entire video trying to figure out where this thing is at All right, it looks like they're going to make you have to figure this thing out Oh, here we go place performance pentacola florida and mobile alabama. Oh I know some people that can do this All right, this is good. We're going to save this. We have some folks in our group that can actually jump on this Um, so this is perfect. I'm going to pull go back to Uh the express spreadsheet that we're looking at and uh work on that so Cool. All right going back to this This one was really interesting the exterior car wash was interesting because Um What it says exterior wash. I'm sorry. I I I remember I made this video earlier. So I'm a little bit wacky and it's it's friday. It's 8 30 at night. So You know, but I did want to make sure we've got this content out today Uh considering that when I after I downloaded and played it back the sound was horrible Uh, but on this exterior wash the reason why I think this is important We're going to we're going to go back over to the other screen And I'm going to pull it up for you because The reason why I thought the exterior wash was interesting is I wanted to show to the level of Who can get involved? I had someone reach out to me that says they're starting a pressure washing business And this seemed right up their alley if you do pressure washing If you know people that do pressure washing window washing car washing This seemed right up your alley said exterior wash and max well air for space And what they're asking for is to wash the exterior of aircraft and also do the interior cleaning services that were required Again folks that do Pressure washing exterior washing car washing. They're not likely to be here on beta sam looking at opportunities So this is why we uh present this to folks out here and share sharing is caring But also we want to help People be able to see the vast Degree of what actually exists and the other thing is because a lot of people ask me this they say eric I'm looking on fbo. They say fbo, but I'm looking on beta sam and I don't see anything in my industry and my business This is right now currently a sources sub If you are in that area and you qualify and you meet the requirements This may never become an actual solicitation They may sole source it directly to you and that happened to one of my students just in the last few weeks ago Uh, he responded to an rfi and they sole sourced him a contract. I do this all the time I respond to rfis and they sole source me contracts So this may actually never come out to become a solicitation because someone like myself took the initiative Respond to the rfi and start doing a direct negotiation with the government They can do that. Remember at this phase at this stage, it is not a solicitation They're doing market research and when they're doing market research They have the ability to be able to shape requirements and or decide that they want to Put it out in a different manner Likely this might be simplified acquisition I'm not sure if it's sap, but it's highly likely that it is and if that's the case they can Decide to go another route. So let's continue on. I don't want to drag on too long in this video. We're already at 17 minute mark I'll do one more example There's as you can see there's 600 Plus things here. Let's look at this one the last one on the screen, which is markmanship we're going to copy paste We're going to go back here and We're going to put markmanship. We're going to take a look and And this is cool. I mean this one happens to be the united states army europe us a r e you are our area of operations Source of thought and what they're looking for is for someone to create And this is really cool Because I know people that create simulations. I know people that create training programs They want you to train on the skills using use Training on these skills through the use of simulators provide significant savings in time money and statistical analysis of the effect of training combat markmanship acquired skills properly recognized Categorize And engage in all environmental threats while moving turning stationary and all using non-standard firing positions Minimum of three stations required created So again, if this is if this is your gig and this is what you do I Hold on All right, and if this is your gig and that's what you do It was most certainly or if you know someone that does this it most certainly should be pressed upon you to respond It it makes no sense to wait or think that by waiting until a formal solicitation is released by waiting until a formal Project comes out forbid that this is even going to happen. Um It doesn't always happen folks These do not always turn into full and open competition or even small business set-aside bids This is why i'm encouraging to get in at this basic level here when it only thing they're asking is Respondents interested respondents, right? respond and company name point of contact cage and dunes information about the product services as it meets requirements annotated in this source of sought Which includes a brochure a white paper pamphlet and or other information content By the way on our one of our upcoming monday's youtube lives mastermind Topics we're going to discuss writing a white paper So again, this closes out this week sources of sought notices all of the links and everything that we discussed today Will be in the show notes as well.
