Originally posted on May 15, 2026, with a response deadline of December 10, 2025, it was structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 for NAICS code 541611, with a maximum small business size standard of $24.5 million. Offerors were required to submit a Unique Entity Identifier and maintain current SAM registration, with representations and certifications incorporated by reference from FAR clauses including 52.204-19, 52.219-28, and 52.209-11.
