Things to watch (9)
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses can quote on this total small business set-aside.
- Worth checking: Quantities and price form not in the text read. No tonnage is given in the files read; the pricing worksheet and the main solicitation PDF were attached but not read.
- Worth checking: Off-road delivery needs high-clearance trucks. Trucks going to the two tank gunnery ranges need high-clearance axles, and the Government won't tow stuck trucks.

- Worth checking: Lab certification before first delivery. Each material lot needs a laboratory certification and a sieve analysis before delivery starts, which adds testing cost and lead time.
- Worth checking: Bridge and culvert damage at contractor's cost. The contractor must check load capacity on every route, and any damage from exceeding posted limits is repaired at the contractor's expense.
- Minor: Deliveries start within five business days of an order. Special Contract Requirements say a delivery order is issued 3-5 days before the expected delivery, so material and trucks must be ready on short order.
- Minor: Rejected loads replaced at contractor's cost. The site manager can reject loads with too many fines, clay or debris, and the contractor must remove and replace them.
- Minor: Gate rules for delivery trucks differ in the documents. One section sends commercial vehicles to 12th Street or Estes Gate, 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM; the delivery section says 12th Street and Parker gates, 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Minor: Solicitation number differs from SAM.gov. The SOW is headed W911RX-26-Q-A032, while SAM.gov lists W911RX27QA002; confirm you are quoting the right solicitation.
