Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses only. Only SDVOSBs can bid on the RFP; other businesses cannot.
- Worth checking: Not a solicitation yet. The notice does not commit the Government to issue the RFP or award a contract, and it is not a request for pricing.
- Worth checking: Subcontracting limits apply. The VA Limitations on Subcontracting restrict how much of the work you may hand to subcontractors, which matters for a general contractor planning to subcontract.
