Things to watch (5)

From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.

SeriousWorth checkingMinor

  • Serious: CMMC Level 1 self-assessment needed before award. Without an active self-assessment in SPRS, a business may not be eligible for award, and the quote should include its CMMC identifier or the date it will be posted.
  • Worth checking: Site visit on October 28, 2026; notice of intent due October 26. Visitors must email names and contact details by 7:00 AM PDT on October 26, 2026 and bring a REAL ID or passport, vehicle registration and proof of insurance; the notice does not call the visit required.
  • Worth checking: California C-10 license for electrical repairs. Minor outlet repairs need a licensed C-10 electrical contractor, so a business without one needs a licensed subcontractor.
Show all 5Show fewer
  • Worth checking: Fixed installation and ceremony dates. Installation starts November 30, 2026 and must be working for the December 4, 2026 ceremony, with removal January 4 to 8, 2027, so there is little room to move the schedule.
  • Minor: Government-furnished items differ between documents. The statement of work says the Government provides no equipment, but the questions and answers say it supplies the switch, cords, timers, connectors and replacement decorations.
