Things to watch (4)
- Serious: SAM.gov and the solicitation disagree on the set-aside. SAM.gov lists no set-aside, but the solicitation the AI read says a set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). Ask the contracting officer which applies before you bid.
- Serious: Open only to SDVOSBs. Only businesses registered and verified as service-disabled veteran-owned can bid; others should not spend time on this one.
- Worth checking: Asbestos work in an occupied medical facility. The work must meet New York State asbestos-abatement rules and VA infection-control requirements, so a bidder needs the right licensing and experience.

- Minor: Evening or weekend work may be required. Crews may have to work off-hours to limit disruption to people in the building, which can raise labor costs.
