This procurement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 237130, with a small business size standard of $45 million, and only offers from certified small businesses will be considered responsive. The work must be completed within 30 days of contract award, with a performance period from June 1 to June 30, 2026, and all proposals must be submitted electronically via email no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
