Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Worth checking: Scope is in an attached SOW. The tasks, frequency and photos of the grounds are in the statement of work, so you can't judge the size of the job from the notice text.
- Minor: Sources sought only. This notice only gathers interest and capability statements; it is not a solicitation, so no offer can be sent and no award comes from it.
- Minor: Response date changed by amendment. Amendment 0001 changed the date to November 1, 2026. Confirm the date and time with the contacts before you send your statement.
