Things to watch (5)
- Serious: SAM.gov and the solicitation disagree on the set-aside. SAM.gov lists no set-aside, but the solicitation the AI read says a set-aside for small businesses. Ask the contracting officer which applies before you bid.
- Worth checking: Not a small business set-aside. Because this is a non-appropriated fund purchase, small business programs do not apply and any size firm can compete.
- Worth checking: Design-build: you carry the design. The bidder must provide design and engineering services as well as construction, which needs a licensed designer on the team.

- Minor: The site visit was Nov 10, 2026. Check the notice and its amendments for whether attendance was required, and whether another visit is offered.
- Minor: Award may be made without discussions. The first proposal may be the only chance, so it needs to be complete and priced to win.
