Who can bid
- Must be a small business under NAICS 561210; the notice is a total small business set-aside
- Field work follows the contractor's approved safety plan, OSHA rules and installation safety rules
How to submit: due Nov 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM Eastern (14:00 -05:00). Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- Serious: No scope or evaluation details provided. The statement of work, evaluation criteria and submission instructions are not in the text provided, so you cannot judge fit, size or price from this notice alone.
- Worth checking: Large multi-service contract. Base operations contracts usually bundle many facility services and need substantial staff, past performance and bonding, which is a heavy lift for a small business without a team.
- Minor: Base access and installation rules. Assessment work requires coordination with the installation for escorts, passes, keys and secure-area limits.
