Things to watch

From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.

Worth checking: Delivery within 30 days after award, then 30-day installation. The planned schedule asks for delivery and installation in sequence, each, so lead time on custom acrylic and mounting parts matters.
Minor: Request for information only, not a solicitation. No award is promised; responses are for planning, and a later solicitation may follow.
Minor: NAICS code differs between SAM.gov and the text. SAM.gov lists NAICS 33995 while the text says NAICS Code 339950.
