The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises.

The owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and to waive any irregularities in the proposals. The project does not require prevailing wage rates, which may impact the overall project costs and contractor considerations. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available documentation.
