The procurement is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-aside, limited to certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database.

The contractor must provide 5 days of assistance to the American Lake pipefitter and perform reinstatement of steam utilidor lids, backfill, and parking lot surface restoration.
