Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Serious: Site visit required. The notice says a site visit is required. Its date, time and place are not given, so a business that misses it may be shut out.
- Serious: Offers must be mailed, no emails. Mailed offers need transit time to arrive by the response due date. The mailing address is in the solicitation, which is not out yet.
- Worth checking: Solicitation not yet issued. The RFQ is expected on November 19, 2026. The technical data package comes with it, so the full requirement cannot be read yet.
