GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
Small Business Set Aside - Total is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 311999 · PSC 8945 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.

The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.
