Eligibility. We screen opportunities against published eligibility requirements and your company profile, but we don't certify your legal eligibility or provide legal advice. You remain responsible for final verification before bidding.
REAL public notices (SAM.gov), screened against the fictional profile
Facts below come from the public notices as posted around Oct 15, 2026. Details may have changed since; always check the official notice.
Act first
- Confirm the SBA certification renewal. The profile shows an Oct 27 expiration; the Asheville IFB requires certification at the time of submission.
- Open two PIEE packages: the Jordan pad and the Shaw AFB MACC documents are behind a login. Send us the PDFs. Login-protected solicitation documents provided by customers are prioritized for review and are typically screened within 1–2 business days.
