Who can bid
- Non-Facilitized Lot: small business concern (this lot is a small business set-aside; SAM.gov shows Small Business Set Aside - Partial).
- Facilitized Lot: a contractor-provided facility where ISRAs are performed in-plant.
- A System for Award Management (SAM) Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) so contractor status can be confirmed before you get the attachments.
How to submit: Issued electronically via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE); watch PIEE and SAM.gov for amendments. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: SAM.gov and the solicitation disagree on the set-aside. SAM.gov lists a set-aside for small businesses, but the solicitation the AI read says no set-aside. Ask the contracting officer which applies before you bid.
- Serious: Small business set-aside covers one lot only. The Non-Facilitized Lot is for small businesses only. The Facilitized Lot is full and open, so larger firms can compete for it.
- Serious: Attachments are not posted; request them in writing. The solicitation's attachments are sent only on written request, so you cannot price the work from this posting alone.

- Serious: Attachment J-2 not yet available. The work item plans and drawings are still being prepared. Offerors will be told by amendment when they can request them.
- Worth checking: Facilitized Lot work is done in your own facility. ISRAs are done in-plant at a contractor-provided facility, which is a large facility commitment for a small business.
- Minor: Fixed price with award fees. Part of your pay depends on how the Government rates your performance, so the award fee terms matter.
