Who can bid
- Be a small business. SAM.gov lists this notice as a total small business set-aside.
- If a reverse auction is held, be registered in the reverse auction system, and have the participating representative complete the online training first.
Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Small businesses only. SAM.gov shows a total small business set-aside, so larger firms are not eligible.
- Worth checking: Reverse auction possible. After the solicitation closes, the contracting officer may hold an online reverse auction, where bidders lower their prices in turn. You must register and complete training first.
- Minor: Solicitation number changed. Older solicitation numbers no longer apply. Use SPRDL1-27-R-A033 when you look for documents.
