Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Restricted to three named sources. Only the named firms and their approved sources are expected to get this award, so a business that is not on the list is unlikely to win without source approval.
- Serious: Prequalification required. Bidders must meet prequalification (source approval) requirements before award; a firm without approval for this part cannot be awarded the contract.
- Worth checking: Government lacks the data rights. The Government says it cannot buy or develop the data needed to add other sources, and reverse engineering is not economical.
