Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442): Solicitation, Offer, and Award (Construction)
Standard Form 1442 (SF 1442), Solicitation, Offer, and Award (Construction, Alteration, or Repair), is a two-page form that carries a construction solicitation, the offeror's offer and the Government's award. The footer says it is prescribed by GSA under FAR (48 CFR) 53.236-1(d), and GSA hosts it in its forms library. The edition printed on the form is STANDARD FORM 1442 (REV. 12/2022).
The front is the Solicitation: the solicitation and contract numbers, the type of solicitation (sealed bid or negotiated), the issuing office, where offers go, the work required, the performance period, bond requirements and when offers are due. The back holds the Offer, which the form says must be fully completed by the offeror, and the Award, which it marks to be completed by the Government.
The form notes that in sealed bid solicitations, offer and offeror mean bid and bidder. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
