Standard certifications required include anti-discrimination, Byrd anti-lobbying, contractor affidavit regarding coercion for labor and services, drug-free workplace, debarment, employment eligibility verification (E-Verify), scrutinized company status, and statement of principal place of business.

A public notice was issued June 17, 2026, with a revision posted July 20, 2026 (AE_PUBLIC_NOTICE_Revision_1_LWRHS.rtf), suggesting material changes to the solicitation near the deadline. No contract value, incumbent, or detailed evaluation criteria are identified in the source. Prospective firms should confirm current deadline status and download the revised public notice and RFQ process document immediately given the compressed timeline and recent amendment.
