T4NG2

T4NG2 is unique among federal IDIQs because the Sample Task Order Response is the primary technical artifact (50% of the evaluation). VA wants to see how you'd actually solve a representative health-IT or cyber problem. Generic capability claims and resume-style submissions consistently fail. The full factor weighting is: Sample Task Order Response (50%), Past Performance (25%), Veterans Involvement (10%), Price (15%). Veterans Involvement rewards SDVOSB/VOSB status and the percentage of veterans on your workforce — VA preferentially awards to veteran-owned firms when capabilities are comparable. Past Performance is mapped to four functional areas: IT Services, Health IT, Cybersecurity, and Program Management. Submissions need at least one reference per pursued functional area, with VA past performance weighted significantly higher than other federal experience.

IDIQBuilder branches T4NG2 into two paths after the shared eligibility steps. You pick once; you can switch later, but starting with the right path saves you weeks of work. Shared steps (1–4): 1. Document Hub: upload past performance, capability statement, certifications, CPARS reports. 2. Company Profile: confirm UEI, NAICS, certifications, key personnel. 3. Classification: pick size standard and socioeconomic tracks. 4. Eligibility Confirmation: verifies SAM, SDVOSB/VOSB status if applicable, VA portal access. 5. Engagement Mode: choose On-Ramp or Teaming. On-Ramp branch (6–10): Sample Task Order Response, Past Performance Volume, Pricing, Subcontracting Plan, Technical Narrative — full submission for the next on-ramp window. Teaming branch (6–7): Teaming Partner Finder (search the awardee list by capability and pool), Capability Statement Builder (tailored outreach + teaming agreement template). Both branches converge at Compliance Engine + Package Output. The teaming branch produces a capability statement and teaming agreement template; the on-ramp branch produces a full submission ZIP.
