Who can bid
- Small business (total small business set-aside, NAICS 561210)
- Active facility security clearance with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) to be eligible for award
Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 29, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses under NAICS 561210 can bid.
- Serious: Active DCSA facility clearance required. A business without an active facility security clearance can't be awarded, and getting one takes sponsorship and time.
- Worth checking: Technical data only through the Technical Library. Data needed to respond isn't in the solicitation; bidders must request Technical Library access under Section L.11.
