- Serious: Small businesses only. The buy is a total small business set-aside, so only firms under the size standard can bid.
- Serious: Facility must be in the Puget Sound region. The work must happen at a facility between Olympia and Bellingham, WA that can take the vessel, which shuts out firms elsewhere.
- Worth checking: Fixed work window. The vessel availability runs from 31 March 2027 through 31 March 2028, and all contract work must finish before the availability end date.
