Who can bid
- Small business proposing as a Small Business Teaming Arrangement (SBTA). Under Amendment 0011 only SBTA offerors may submit or modify proposals.
- Qualifying projects (QPs) under the permitted NAICS codes listed in Section L.2.3.2.5 of the solicitation (details were cut off).
How to submit: A submission portal; the Digital Market Portal is named in the price section, but the exact steps are in Section L, which was cut off. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Serious: Only SBTA offerors may propose now. Amendment 0011 lets only small businesses in a Small Business Teaming Arrangement (SBTA) submit proposals, so a small business bidding alone cannot send or change a proposal.
- Serious: Multi-part SBTA paperwork and full resubmission. SBTA proposals must be resubmitted on the latest solicitation and attachments, including the SBTA Utilization Matrix and SBTA Agreement; those files were not read.
- Worth checking: Earlier proposals must be withdrawn by domain first. A small business that already proposed as a prime and now wants to propose as an SBTA must withdraw the domain with Attachment 0007, then submit a new SBTA proposal. Withdrawing one domain leaves the others in place.

- Worth checking: Past performance and qualifying projects drive the score. Points come from past qualifying projects (vacancy rate, time to fill, schedule, completeness) and CPARS or questionnaires; a non-relevant project earns no credit. New firms without such projects may score poorly.
- Worth checking: Worldwide work, including hostile areas. Task orders may be performed inside or outside the contiguous United States, including hostile areas; the local-office, licensing and security rules for such work were not in the text read.
- Minor: Withdrawal form attachment number corrected. Section L.1 wrongly calls the Notice of Withdrawal Form Attachment 0006; the correct number is Attachment 0007.
- Minor: Solicitation number shown with amendment digits on the form. The SF 33 (Standard Form 33, the solicitation cover form) shows W15P7T26RA0060011; the 0011 is the amendment number and the solicitation number is unchanged.
