Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 28, 2026.
- Serious: Certified SDVOSB set-aside. Only SBA-certified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses can bid; others are eliminated.
- Worth checking: Limits on subcontracting. For special trade contractors, no more than 75% of what the VA pays you can go to firms that aren't certified SDVOSBs or VOSBs.
- Worth checking: Work in an occupied hospital. Phasing, infection control and patient protection add cost and slow the work.
Show all 5Show fewer
- Minor: After-hours work possible. Normal hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but nights and weekends may be required.
- Minor: Response date and RFP date differ. SAM.gov lists November 12, 2026, while the text says the RFP is expected on or about November 16, 2026.
