Who can bid
- Small business, per the SAM.gov total small business set-aside
Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. SAM.gov lists the set-aside as small business, so only small businesses can expect to compete for the later request for proposals.
- Worth checking: In-person Industry Day on November 3, 2026. USACE will brief industry and take questions; the notice does not call attendance required, and the time and place are in the attached special notice.
- Minor: Emergency and disaster work in scope. Grey Sky work means support during emergencies, which may need fast staffing and unusual hours.
