From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Worth checking: Full and open competition on a large job. Small businesses compete with larger firms, and the project magnitude is $75,000,000 or greater, so bonding and capacity matter.
- Minor: Optional site visit. A site visit will be held for those who choose to attend; its date and time will be in the solicitation.
- Minor: NAICS code differs from SAM.gov. SAM.gov lists 237310, while the text gives 236220 with a $45,000,000 size standard.

- Minor: Long performance period. The work runs 1,110 calendar days from award, so cash flow and crews must be planned for about three years.
