Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 28, 2026.
- Serious: SDVOSB set-aside. Only businesses certified as service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses can bid; others will be rejected.
- Worth checking: Notice text is the presolicitation wording. The text still says the solicitation "will be issued" and is not a request for offers, though SAM.gov lists this version as the solicitation; the bid documents are separate.
- Worth checking: Revised drawings change outlet locations. All power and data drops shown on the floor must now be wall-mounted, so price from revised sheets EP101 and TN101.

- Minor: Work inside an operating VA hospital campus. Construction in a health care building usually brings access, phasing and infection-control limits that affect schedule and cost.
