Watch out for
- Bid bond required. You need a surety company to issue a bid bond, which can be hard for a newer small business to get.
This project will require a Bid Bond.
- Single site visit. Only one site visit is offered and there are no make-up visits, so missing it could shut you out.
Only one Site Visit will be conducted and no requests for additional Site Visits or make-up Site Visits will be granted.
- Missing certification disqualifies you. Failing to submit the VAAR 852.219-75 certification makes you ineligible for evaluation and award.
Failure to provide this certification will deem the contractor ineligible for evaluation and award.
- Not yet a solicitation. No proposals are accepted from this notice, so the scope, dates and evaluation factors are still unknown.
THIS IS A PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ONLY: No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis.
