Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Only Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises can bid. A firm that is not an Indian Economic Enterprise with Indian ownership cannot send a quote, and false claims carry penalties.
- Serious: Main RFQ file could not be read. The requirements, evaluation, license rules and clauses are in the RFQ PDF, whose text could not be read here; check that file on SAM.gov before quoting.
- Worth checking: Rate must cover all costs, including travel and lodging. The hourly rate must include fringe benefits, overhead, travel, per diem, lodging and all taxes, so a firm bringing a provider to a remote site must price that in.
Show all 5Show fewer
- Worth checking: Paid hours may be below 2,080 a year. The 2,080 hours is only a maximum used for pricing; holidays and clinic needs can lower the hours actually scheduled.
- Minor: Question deadline October 30, 2026. Questions must reach the contract specialist by email before the quote due date.
