Things to watch (4)

From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.

Serious: Open only to SDVOSBs. Only businesses registered and verified as service-disabled veteran-owned can bid; others should not spend time on this one.
Worth checking: Presolicitation: the solicitation is expected on or about November 6, 2026. This notice is not a request for offers, and the solicitation, with its submission address, date and time, comes later; SAM.gov separately lists a response date of November 16, 2026, 1:00 PM Eastern.
Worth checking: Asbestos work in an occupied medical facility. The work must meet New York State asbestos-abatement rules and VA infection-control requirements, so a bidder needs the right licensing and experience.

Minor: Evening or weekend work may be required. Crews may have to work off-hours to limit disruption to people in the building, which can raise labor costs.
