Things to watch
From the version posted Nov 10, 2026.
- Serious: Small businesses only. SAM.gov sets this aside for small businesses, so larger firms can't quote.
- Worth checking: Work details only in Attachment 1. The notice text doesn't say how many traps, how often, or the schedule; you must read the PWS to price it.
- Minor: No site visit. Bidders must price the work from the documents alone.
