Things to watch
From the version posted Nov 9, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses under NAICS 561720 will be able to quote.
- Serious: RFQ may go only to vendors who respond. The Government may email the RFQ directly to responding vendors and post it on SAM.gov only if competition is inadequate, so a business that doesn't respond may never see it.
- Minor: No site visit planned. You'll have to price the cleaning from the draft PWS and its square footage table without seeing the building.
