In essence: “What key tasks should be used for determining minimum capability?” 3. Identify whether your firm is interested in competing for this requirement as a prime contractor. If you are subcontracting any of the services out, contemplating a Joint Venture, and/or creating a teaming arrangement then please provide the name of these companies and what work they will be performing, if available.
