Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 29, 2026.
- Worth checking: Long proposal validity. Bidders must hold their prices for at least 240 calendar days from the response due date, which is longer than many small firms plan for.
- Worth checking: Final RFP differs from the draft. Firms that worked from the earlier draft must re-check every file, because the final version and its attachments changed.
- Worth checking: Set-aside not stated. SAM.gov shows no set-aside, so small businesses may be competing with large firms; check the RFP.
