Who can bid
- Must qualify for the 8(a) set-aside (SBA's 8(a) Business Development program, FAR 19.8). Only 8(a) firms can bid.
Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Set aside for 8(a) firms only. SAM.gov lists this as an 8(a) Set-Aside (FAR 19.8), so a business outside SBA's 8(a) program cannot bid.
- Worth checking: No PWS, price schedule or instructions in the posted files. The only attachment is Amendment 1, so tasks, staffing, hours, period of performance, evaluation and how to submit can't be judged yet.
