Things to watch (4)
- Worth checking: Small businesses only. SAM.gov lists a total small business set-aside, so larger firms cannot compete for the coming RFP.
- Worth checking: Industry Day on November 3, 2026. Industry Day: November 3, 2026, in person, to brief industry and take questions on the forthcoming program and RFP. The text does not say attendance is required.
- Worth checking: Full details only in attached PDFs. The scope, timeline and how the RFP will work are in the attached presolicitation PDF, not in this text.

- Minor: No RFP yet and no response date. This notice is not a request for proposals, and SAM.gov gives no response date, so it is not yet clear when offers will be due.
