Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses under NAICS 541990 can bid; larger firms are shut out.
- Worth checking: Funds not yet available. No award can be made until funds are appropriated, and quotes must stay valid through December 30, 2026.
- Worth checking: Site visit access list deadline: November 2, 2026, with two different times. Site visit attendees need clearance through an Entry Access List (EAL) that includes full name, date of birth and driver's license number. The notice says 3:00 PM; the attached RFQ document says 12:00 PM.
Show all 8Show fewer
- Worth checking: Hazardous waste finding stops the job. If tests show hazardous material, work stops until the base environmental office decides what happens next; the hazardous disposal line is optional and its extent is not known when quoting.
- Worth checking: Hazardous waste training and hauler requirements. Staff must have hazardous waste training, and any hazardous waste must go with a certified hauler to a permitted facility. A small firm may need subcontractors for this.
- Minor: Work hours limited to weekdays. On-site work, including setting up and removing equipment, is limited to set weekday hours unless the COR approves otherwise in writing.
- Minor: Wage determination number differs. The notice lists wage determination 2025-4945, while the attached determination is numbered 2015-4945, Revision 33. Ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Minor: Late questions may go unanswered. Questions sent within 2 days of the close are answered only if the contracting officer chooses.
