- Serious: Small business set-aside. Only businesses that are small under NAICS 541990 ($19.5 million size standard) can bid.
- Worth checking: Single award across two territories. One company must cover inspection and lab testing across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which needs local staff and lab access.
- Worth checking: Proposal instructions not in the notice text. How proposals are submitted and evaluated is not described in the notice text, so bidders must get the RFP documents.
