Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Worth checking: Manufacturer representative needed for start-up. A bidder must be able to provide commissioning and start-up by a manufacturer's representative, not just ship equipment.
- Worth checking: No response instructions. The notice does not say what to send or where, so contact the contracting office before the response due date.
- Minor: Installation is not included. USACE in-house staff will install the sensors and conduit wiring, so the bid covers equipment, commissioning and training only.
