The RFQ does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposing firms must submit comprehensive documentation including a list of past clients, staff resumes, and detailed team qualifications. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the proposal requires firms to show proven experience in correctional facility design and regional governmental project implementation.
