Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic, for Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, NJ, is asking which businesses can maintain and clean gutters and downspouts.

Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Worth checking: Set-aside listed differently in SAM.gov and the text. SAM.gov lists a Local Area Set-Aside (FAR 26.2), but the text says no set-aside decision has been made. Ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Minor: Sources sought only. Responses are not offers, no award will come from them, and respondents will not be told the outcome.
Read from the notice text only.
