Who can bid
- Small business set-aside: only small businesses under NAICS 541519 can propose (per SAM.gov)
Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 28, 2026.
- Serious: Small businesses only. SAM.gov lists a total small business set-aside under NAICS 541519.
- Worth checking: Six bases in four states. Support is needed at JBSA Randolph, Columbus, Laughlin, Vance, Sheppard and Fort Rucker, so staffing and travel cover several states.
- Minor: Device count may change. The Government can change the number of devices or locations by contract modification, so workload may grow or shrink.
