Things to watch (10)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: SDVOSB set-aside: only certified service-disabled veteran-owned firms can bid. A business without active SBA VetCert SDVOSB certification, or over the $34.0 million size standard, will not be considered.
- Serious: Secret facility clearance and Secret-cleared staff required. The firm needs an active Secret facility clearance (FCL) and every worker needs a Secret clearance at award, which can take months to obtain.
- Serious: Contractor must supply a large warehouse near Virginia Beach. A warehouse of at least 100,000 square feet with 20-foot ceilings and fire suppression must be within 30 miles of the base and operable within 90 days of contract issuance.

- Worth checking: Quotes with exceptions to the terms are rejected. Taking exception to any term makes a quote non-compliant, so review the terms and clauses before you commit.
- Worth checking: Labor hours are fixed. Quotes may not change the annual hours by labor category, so your price must fit the Government's staffing table.
- Worth checking: All-inclusive pricing, no cost breakdowns, no added costs after award. Prices must be fully loaded, with every cost as a separate line item, and nothing can be added after award.
- Worth checking: Fast reporting and response times. Lost or damaged Government property must be reported within 60 minutes, and labor must reach the site within 2 hours of a request.
- Minor: Support at other Virginia sites. Besides Dam Neck, staff must give task-based support at Yorktown, Chesapeake and Norfolk.
- Minor: Contractor pays for costs of the Government property it uses. The contractor covers transportation, installation and rehabilitation costs for Government property it is given.
- Minor: Costs of an electronic spillage can be charged to the contractor. If classified data lands on an unapproved system and the contractor is responsible, the Government can charge its cleanup costs.
