Who can bid this, by trade

Eligibility and feasibility only, from the checkable facts: set-aside, prequalification, registration and time remaining. We do not predict who wins. That depends on price, capacity and past performance, none of which we hold.

What the agency published

The agency's summary for this one is an unfilled template. Its own merge fields were never substituted, so it states no scope of work, no quantities and no qualifications. That is not an error on our side, it is what was posted. Everything that matters is in the documents above.
