Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses can bid; a firm that is not small under NAICS 333111 cannot win this award.
- Serious: Service support within 300 miles of Elgin, ND. You need your own local presence or a partner within 300 miles of Elgin to handle later servicing and maintenance, even if the build is done elsewhere.
- Serious: No quantity or unit of measure on the line items. The price table lists six line items with blank quantity and unit columns; confirm with the contracting officer that each line is one lot, since quotes are priced per unit.

- Worth checking: All line items must be priced. A quote that covers only part of the price schedule will not be considered for award.
- Worth checking: Moving the Government truck is your job and risk. If you work outside the 300-mile radius, you must arrange and manage all transport of the Government-furnished truck to and from your facility.
- Worth checking: Amendment 0001 must be acknowledged. If the acknowledgment is not received before the response due date, the offer may be rejected.
- Minor: Delivery is 180 days from award. Fabrication, removal of the old system and installation on the truck must all fit in 180 days.
- Minor: Inspection appointment needed. The Statement of Work says you must book an inspection appointment with the Government point of contact.
