This is a total small-business set-aside under NAICS 238160, Roofing Contractors. The solicitation is an RFQ for commercial items, and the announcement says no separate written solicitation will be issued.
Dates and the quote deadline
The opportunity was published October 16, 2026. Quotes are due October 30, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET. The solicitation lists the site-visit, question, and quote details on pages 24 and 27; check those pages for the specific instructions.
The agency says contractors are responsible for delivering all required documents by the stated deadline, or by an amended deadline if one is issued. Amendment 0001 attaches RFI responses and site-visit logs and updates the period of performance, so review it along with the solicitation.
