Who can bid
- Open to all businesses: full and open competition with no set-aside
- The size standard is $45 million in annual revenue (matters for small business status and for how you compete)
- Registration and access to PIEE, the system used to submit offers
How to submit: Electronically through PIEE (the Solicitation Module), due 9:00 AM Pacific Time, Tuesday, 3 November 2026 (SAM.gov lists Nov 3, 2026, 9:00 AM PST · 12:00 PM Eastern). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (6)
- Worth checking: Full and open competition. There is no small business set-aside, so you will be bidding against larger firms for a $10 million to $15 million job.
- Worth checking: Conflicting NAICS codes. SAM.gov lists NAICS 237990, but the description says 237110, so check which code and size standard actually apply to you.
- Worth checking: The site visit was Oct 5, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.

- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.
- Minor: Questions were due Oct 12, 2026. Check the amendments for the agency's answers.
- Minor: Levee work. Work involves cutting through and building over a flood-control levee, which can bring tight technical, safety and scheduling requirements.
