Who can bid
- Small business: the SAM.gov set-aside is Small Business Set Aside - Total
- If a reverse auction is held, register in the reverse auction system, and the person who takes part must have completed the online reverse auction training first
Things to watch (4)
- Serious: Small business set-aside. SAM.gov shows a total small business set-aside, so only small businesses can compete.
- Worth checking: Reverse auction possible. The solicitation will allow a reverse auction, where prices are pushed down live. Registration and training are needed to take part, and the choice to hold one comes after the solicitation closes.
- Minor: Presolicitation only. This is advance notice. The solicitation itself, with instructions for sending offers, has not been posted in this notice.

- Minor: Option of 100%. The notice lists an option of 100% without saying what it applies to. It may affect how many units you must be ready to supply.
