Who can bid
- Only the company the notice names can win this as planned: other firms may send a capability statement, and the agency decides whether that is enough to compete it.
How to submit: due Dec 28, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern (response deadline Dec 28, 2026, 5:00 PM EST). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch
- Serious: Sole source to Boeing. The government has already decided only Boeing can do this work, so a small business can only compete as a subcontractor.
- Worth checking: Only path is subcontracting. The notice tells small firms to contact Boeing directly for work.
