Who can bid
- Active SAM.gov registration at time of offer and through evaluation and award
How to submit: Instructions will be in the solicitation on SAM.gov, due Oct 16, 2026, 5:30 PM EDT (listed response date; notice says the solicitation is expected around Friday, October 16, 2026). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (5)
- Serious: Large, complex hospital project. A $20 to $30 million renovation of a working hospital surgical suite is a big job with likely high bonding and capacity needs for a small business.
- Worth checking: Phased work in an active hospital. Each phase must be finished and activated before the next begins, so scheduling and coordination are tight.
- Worth checking: No set-aside. Small businesses compete against any company, including large firms.

- Worth checking: Davis-Bacon wages likely apply. Federal construction over $2,000 in the U.S. pays at least the Davis-Bacon wage rates in the wage determination attached to the solicitation. This summary doesn't name one: find it on SAM.gov and price your labor from it.
- Minor: Long performance period. 840 days ties up crews and capital for over two years.
