Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 19, 2026.
- Serious: Women-owned small business set-aside. Only responsible WOSB concerns can have their quotes considered, so a firm without WOSB status can't win.
- Serious: RFQ will not be public: you must be on the email list. A business that doesn't send its interest by the deadline won't receive the RFQ.
- Worth checking: Interest email must include UEI and CAGE number. The interest email needs your SAM UEI and CAGE number, so your SAM registration should already be in place. Check a SAM.gov registration.

- Minor: RFQ release on or about November 9, 2026. Award is proposed about 30 days after the RFQ is released, so the quote window is not stated here.
