Things to watch (4)

From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.

Serious: Only one approved source is named. The text lists The Boeing Company as the approved source. A small business not on the list may not be able to bid unless approved; ask the contracting office.
Worth checking: Quantity not stated. No quantity or unit of issue is given, and a quote is priced per unit. Get both from the RFP before pricing.
Minor: Surplus or existing stock may be accepted. The government may change its buying plan if surplus or newly made stock is in its best interest, which could mean competing against dealers.

Minor: Long delivery window. Requested delivery is 291 days ARO (after receipt of order), so plan production and cash flow for that time.
