Things to watch (9)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Registration and an invitation are needed before you can bid. You must register in the Postal Service's Coupa system and then ask the contact for an invitation; review takes up to seven business days, and the response due date does not move.
- Serious: 100 percent performance and payment bonds required. You must be able to get bonds covering the full contract within seven calendar days of a Notice of Intent to Award, on a job estimated at $5,000,000 to $6,500,000.

- Worth checking: Late bids are not saved by Coupa problems. The Postal Service says the closing time will not be extended if the Coupa system trips you up, so allow time to upload.
- Worth checking: Scoring details and price schedule were not in the text read. The 100-point scoring breakdown (Solicitation Attachment 11) and the Excel schedule of values are referred to but were not in the documents read here.
- Worth checking: Subcontracting plan and safety plan before work starts. The winner must have both plans accepted by the Contracting Officer before the Notice to Proceed, which can hold up the start of work.
- Worth checking: Veterans employment report (VETS-4212) required. If you are not registered with the Department of Labor system, you must register and send proof with your offer.
- Worth checking: Work in an operating mail facility, in phases. Work must not interfere with operations and is coordinated with the Facility Manager, and the Summary of Work has you price 200,000 sf of temporary interior protection.
- Minor: Possible asbestos in the roof. The Summary of Work points to an asbestos report and to removal and disposal procedures if asbestos-containing material is found, which can add cost and time.
