Who can bid
- A bid guarantee (bid bond or similar security submitted with the offer) under Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.228-1, added by Amendment 0001
How to submit: due November 12, 2026, 2:00 PM Eastern. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (4)
- Serious: Bid guarantee added by Amendment 0001. A bid guarantee usually means you must provide a bond or other security with your offer, so check your surety capacity early.
- Worth checking: Solicitation number changed twice. The number changed from FA860126R0017 to FA860127R0010 for the new fiscal year, and again to FA860127R00100001 with the amendment, so search for and cite the current number.
- Worth checking: Wide, open-ended electrical scope. The work may cover many systems on a large base, and the notice says tasks 'may' be required, so the actual workload is unclear.

- Minor: Temporary power and outage coordination. The prime must provide temporary power during outages and coordinate cutovers, which needs equipment and planning.
