Who can bid
- Small business under NAICS 238330 (Flooring Contractors): the notice is a total small business set-aside
Things to watch
- Serious: Small businesses only. SAM.gov lists this as a total small business set-aside, so only businesses that are small under NAICS 238330 can bid.
- Worth checking: Notice text is short. The description gives the scope only; how to submit, how offers are judged and the schedule must come from the solicitation documents.
- Minor: Work in an active academy. The contractor must coordinate with the COR to keep disruption to Academy operations low, which can limit when crews can work.
