Who can bid
- Must propose as a Small Business Teaming Arrangement (SBTA); no other business type, including small businesses proposing outside an SBTA, may propose
Things to watch (4)
- Serious: Only Small Business Teaming Arrangements may propose. A business that cannot form or join an SBTA, or is not small, cannot send a proposal under Amendment 0011.
- Worth checking: Full resubmission required. SBTA proposals must be resubmitted on the latest solicitation and attachments, so earlier work needs to be updated.
- Worth checking: Worldwide scope, including hostile areas. Task orders may require work outside the United States and in hostile areas, which can mean added staffing, security and travel costs.

- Minor: Five NAICS codes, one shown on SAM.gov. SAM.gov shows only one North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, but the solicitation contains five primary NAICS codes, so check which fit your firm.
