Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Serious: Approved sources only. A business that is not a government-approved source of supply (or an authorized distributor of one) cannot win this award.
- Worth checking: Authorized distributor letter required. Distributors must send a letter from the approved source, on its letterhead, with their offer, so you need the source's cooperation before bidding.
- Minor: Emergency acquisition flexibilities in use. The buy is issued under emergency acquisition flexibilities (EAF), special rules the agency says it is using; check the full solicitation for what changes.
