Proposals must include a 10-page Capability Statement detailing corporate background, facility specifications, equipment availability, instructor credentials, explosives handling certifications, and three relevant past performance examples completed within the last five years. Responses are due by August 21, 2026, must be submitted electronically in PDF format to designated government contacts, and require active SAM.gov registration.
