Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 13, 2026.
- Serious: Service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside. Only SDVOSB firms can bid.
- Serious: Bid bond required. A bid bond must come with the bid, so a firm needs surety credit before bidding.
- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.
