Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Worth checking: Small businesses only; experience bar for projects. You need three to five recent projects of at least $500,000, including Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build work, or your response may not be considered relevant.
- Worth checking: Market survey only, not an offer request. This is not a request for proposals, and respondents will not hear back about the results.
- Worth checking: Set-aside decision still open. The Government has not decided whether the later solicitation will be set aside for small business or open to all.
Show all 6Show fewer
- Worth checking: Bonding capacity must be reported. You must name your surety and give per-project and aggregate bonding limits, which large construction task orders may demand.
- Minor: Very wide work area. Task orders could land across many states, though most are expected in Washington State, so you must say where you can work.
- Minor: Cybersecurity certification asked about. The form asks about CMMC, the Defense Department's cybersecurity certification program; firms without one may be at a disadvantage later.
