Things to watch (4)
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses (up to 1,500 employees under the notice) can bid.
- Serious: Attachments limited to firms with a DITCO Basic Agreement. Without that agreement you cannot get the solicitation attachments, which hold the requirement and place of performance; requests need your UEI (unique entity ID) or CAGE code (business ID number).
- Worth checking: Requirement details only in attachments. The notice says the service date, description of requirement and place of performance are in the attached solicitation.

- Minor: Lowest price technically acceptable. Price decides among quotes that meet the technical requirements, so a high price loses even with a strong quote.
