Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 21, 2026.
- Worth checking: Notice of intent required before the solicitation. Businesses must send a written statement of intent and project history by the deadline to be considered; the notice itself is not a solicitation.
- Minor: Set-aside may change. The notice says the project may be advertised as an unrestricted solicitation if too few small businesses respond.
- Minor: FAA crane review adds schedule time. The crane lift plan needs Federal Aviation Administration approval of an ASN and the notice schedules a three-month review period.
