How to submit: Proposals through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE, piee.eb.mil) Solicitation Module; no other means is accepted. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (6)
- Serious: Phase One proposals; later phases not described. The notice names Phase One proposals, tentatively due 30–45 days after the solicitation is issued, but doesn't say what later phases exist or who may take part, so missing Phase One could shut a business out.
- Serious: Bonding required for all task orders. A small business must be able to get bonding (a surety guarantee) large enough for every task order it wins, with orders up to $20,000,000.00.
- Worth checking: No response due date yet. SAM.gov gives no response date, and the Government may change, delay or cancel the project; watch PIEE and SAM.gov for the solicitation.

- Worth checking: PIEE registration needed to submit. Proposals are accepted only through PIEE, and registration should be done at least one week before the proposal due date.
- Minor: Changes are not sent to bidders. USACE won't tell you about changes, so you must check PIEE and SAM.gov yourself.
- Minor: E-Verify expected. The future contract is expected to require E-Verify, the federal system that checks employees' work eligibility, and sustainable acquisition rules.
