- Worth checking: Information request only, not a request for quotes. Responding doesn't bid on a contract, and the Government may decide not to compete the work at all.
- Minor: No acknowledgement of responses and no phone calls. The program office won't confirm it received your email, and phone inquiries are not considered.
- Minor: Source code delivery and on-site support. The work includes delivering tactical source code and executables and on-site support as needed, which may call for specialist staff.
