Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Limited-sources justification cited. The notice says supplies are available from only one or a limited number of sources, so a new bidder may face a strong chance the award goes to an existing source.
- Worth checking: Subcontracting suggested with two named firms. Small businesses are pointed to Raytheon Company (Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code 96214) and Lockheed Martin Corp (CAGE 81755), which suggests the prime work sits with them.
- Minor: No small business set-aside expected. The buyer does not expect to reserve this requirement for small businesses.
