Twenty-one unique federal opportunities were processed in RFP Snapshot this week, August 24-30, 2026 - each read, structured, and condensed into a downloadable ~4-page Snapshot. Two things stand out. First, the calendar is brutally front-loaded: 6 of the 21 close on or before September 3, starting with the Navy TACAMO market research notice that closes today, and then nothing lands until September 8. Second, the vehicle story is total. All 21 ran through OASIS+ pools - 14 through small business pools and SINs, 3 through 8(a) pools, and 3 through Unrestricted - the cleanest sweep we have recorded in this series, and a lane that stays invisible unless you hold the contract and watch GSA eBuy daily.
The mix skews toward shaping again: 14 RFIs and 1 Sources Sought against 6 active solicitations. The marquee is the Air Force's F-22 Formal Training Unit Beddown RFP, a 100% small business set-aside on a named fifth-generation fighter program, due September 16. The longest runway belongs to DHS SEVP IT PMO Support on October 1. Worth noting on the set-aside spread: 8 of the 21 carry some form of small business restriction, but there is no SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, or AbilityOne set-aside anywhere in the set. The list below is ordered by response deadline, soonest first. Jump to any item from the table, or open its full Snapshot for the scope, key personnel, evaluation approach, and dates in one place.

Due Aug 31, 2026 · OASIS+ SB; GSA Multiple Award Schedule · NAICS 541611 - Admin & General Mgmt Consulting (size standard not stated) · No set-aside specified (open to small and other-than-small)
Market research for mission support to the Navy's TACAMO airborne strategic communications mission under U.S. Fleet Forces Command. This is the soonest close on the board and lands the same day this roundup publishes, so if you support strategic communications or aviation program offices, a short capability statement today beats a polished one tomorrow.

Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) E-11A Platform Maintenance CLS - FA4890-27-R-0002
Due Sep 1, 2026 · OASIS+ SB (SIN 10806) · NAICS 488190 - Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, $35M (the Technical Questions document states $32.5M; confirm before you certify size) · No set-aside specified; small business participation under evaluation
Contractor logistics support for the E-11A fleet that carries the BACN communications relay payload, still in market research while the Air Force decides whether small business participation is viable. The size standard conflicts between two documents in the same package, so pin the contracting officer down on 488190 before you represent yourself as small. Open the full Snapshot →
Engineering, Scientific, and Program Support Services - CBP Laboratories and Scientific Services, Tunnel Technology - 20155255
Due Sep 1, 2026 · OASIS+ SB SIN 541330ENG · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services, $25.5M · Small Business (OASIS+ SB Pool, Category 10205)
A live RFP for engineering, scientific, and program support to CBP's Laboratories and Scientific Services directorate on tunnel detection technology, restricted to OASIS+ SB Pool 10205 holders. Border-security sensor and engineering firms in that pool have a narrow eligible field here, but the September 1 close means the proposal is either underway or it is not happening. Open the full Snapshot →
HRSA Objective Review Committee Logistical and Administrative Support (MRAS) - RFI1833098
Due Sep 3, 2026 · OASIS+ 8(a); GSA MAS (multiple) · NAICS 541611 - Admin & General Mgmt Consulting (size standard not stated) · No set-aside specified (open to small and other-than-small)
Market research for logistical and administrative support to HRSA's grant objective review committees, routed through both an OASIS+ 8(a) pool and several MAS schedules. Peer-review and meeting-logistics work is repeatable revenue with low technical risk, so 8(a) firms in 541611 should respond and make the case for a set-aside. Open the full Snapshot →
NCTS-FE Technical Services, Engineering, and Quality Assurance (TSEQ) - 712675414
Due Sep 3, 2026 · GSA OASIS+ Unrestricted (Pool 60205) · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services (size standard not stated) · No set-aside - Full and Open Competition (Unrestricted)
The only full and open competition in the set: technical services, engineering, and quality assurance for Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station Far East, run by DISA through OASIS+ Unrestricted Pool 60205. Small firms are not shut out, but you are competing against every large integrator holding that pool, so lead with OCONUS Pacific presence and cleared staff you can actually deploy.

NAVSEA Calibration and Testing Services (MRAS) - RFI1831928
Due Sep 3, 2026 · OASIS+ Unrestricted · NAICS 541380 - Testing Laboratories, $19.0M; 334515 - Instrument Mfg for Measuring & Testing Electricity, 750 employees · No set-aside specified
Market research for calibration and testing services at NAVSEA, carrying both a services NAICS and a manufacturing NAICS. That pairing usually signals the government has not decided whether it is buying a service or buying instruments, so tell them which one fits your business and why. Open the full Snapshot →
USCYBERCOM Cyberspace Operations using AI First (COA1) - RFI1833317
Due Sep 8, 2026 · OASIS+ Unrestricted (SIN 60215) · NAICS 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific & Technical Services (size standard not stated) · No set-aside specified (open to small and other than small)
The most interesting shaping play of the week: CYBERCOM asking industry how to run cyberspace operations on an AI-first model, through OASIS+ Unrestricted. Requirements this early are genuinely malleable, and a firm with cleared AI engineering talent can shape the eventual scope far more cheaply here than it can win it later. Open the full Snapshot →
G5 Institutional Analytical Services (ARNG-G5 Institutions Analytical Support) - W9133L26RA050
Due Sep 8, 2026 · OASIS+ 8(a) Pool 20101 · NAICS 541611 - Admin & General Mgmt Consulting, $24,500,000 · 8(a) Set-Aside
The week's only true 8(a) set-aside RFP: institutional analytical support to the Army National Guard G5, competed inside OASIS+ 8(a) Pool 20101. The eligible field is small by construction, so if you hold that pool this is one of the cleanest shots on the board. Open the full Snapshot →
Drug and Alcohol Compliance Audit Program Support - RFI1832756
Due Sep 8, 2026 · OASIS+ SB Pool 10101 · NAICS 541611 - Admin & General Mgmt Consulting, $24.5M · No set-aside specified
Market research for support to DOT's drug and alcohol compliance audit program, one of three DOT notices in the set this week. Regulatory-audit and compliance-program firms should treat the three together as a signal that DOT is refreshing a block of oversight support at once. Open the full Snapshot →
Operational Force Management Support (OFMS) to the ARNG Force Generation Division - Strategic Analysis Services - W9133L26RA044
Due Sep 9, 2026 · OASIS+ SB Pool 10101 · NAICS 541611 - Admin & General Mgmt Consulting, $24.5M · 100% Small Business Set-Aside
Strategic analysis services to the Army National Guard's Force Generation Division, set aside 100% for small business in OASIS+ SB Pool 10101. This is the sister buy to the ARNG-G5 8(a) requirement closing the day before, so read them side by side: same NAICS, same customer, two different competitive lanes. Open the full Snapshot →
DOT Vehicle Safety Research Test Programs (Market Research) - RFI1833144
Due Sep 9, 2026 · OASIS+ SB (SIN 10212); GSA MAS also referenced · NAICS 541380 - Testing Laboratories (size standard not stated) · No set-aside specified (open to small and other-than-small)
Market research for vehicle safety research test programs at DOT, the second 541380 testing-laboratory notice in the set alongside NAVSEA calibration. Firms with crash, dynamometer, or instrumented-test capability should answer both, because the testing-lab lane is thin and being on the list matters. Open the full Snapshot →
MARAD Heavy Weather Mooring Plan Ship Impact (Market Research) - RFI1832778
Due Sep 9, 2026 · GSA MAS / OASIS+ SB · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services (size standard not stated); 541330 Exception 3 also listed as an applicable option · No set-aside specified
Market research for heavy weather mooring plan and ship impact analysis at the Maritime Administration. Naval architecture and marine engineering is a narrow specialty, and the fact that MARAD has flagged an alternate 541330 exception means the size standard is still in play, which is worth commenting on. Open the full Snapshot →
HQ AMC Special Departure Procedures (SDP) - Airfield Operations Division - RFI1833767
Due Sep 10, 2026 · OASIS+ SB SIN 10205 · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services (size standard not stated) · No set-aside specified (market research phase)
Market research for special departure procedure development supporting Air Mobility Command's Airfield Operations Division. This is aviation-procedure engineering rather than general services work, so firms with terminal instrument procedure and airfield criteria experience should identify that specialty plainly in the response. Open the full Snapshot →
BMC3I Acquisition Support - Advisory and Assistance Services for the Space Force PAE - SSC/BCK RFI-26-0001
Due Sep 11, 2026 · OASIS+ SB Pool 10409 · NAICS 541715 - R&D in Physical, Engineering & Life Sciences (size standard not stated) · Small Business (NAICS 541715 qualified small businesses only)
Advisory and assistance services to the Space Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for battle management, command, control, communications, and space intelligence. The notice restricts itself to firms qualified under 541715, which is an unusually tight filter for A&AS work and keeps the respondent pool small if you can clear it. Open the full Snapshot →
Integrated Data, Engineering, and Analytical Services (IDEAS) - RFI1833129
Due Sep 11, 2026 · OASIS+ SB Pool 10215 · NAICS 541690, 541990, and 541330 - code selection is an open question posed to respondents; no primary code designated · No set-aside specified (OASIS+ SB holders only)
The one notice this week that hands industry the pen on NAICS: GSA has not designated a primary code for IDEAS and is explicitly asking respondents which of 541690, 541990, or 541330 fits. Whichever code wins sets the size standard and therefore the competitive field, so this is the highest-leverage response on the list relative to effort. Open the full Snapshot →
Army FSR Services in Support of Lebanon M2A2ODS Bradley (Market Research) - RFI1833461
Due Sep 11, 2026 · Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), OASIS+ · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services, $25.5M; 541330 Exception 1 - Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons, 1,500 employees · No set-aside specified
Field service representative support for Bradley M2A2ODS vehicles transferred to Lebanon, a foreign military sales sustainment requirement. FSR work means deployable technicians in country, so the real qualifier is whether you can recruit and badge people for that posting, not whether you can write about tracked vehicles. Open the full Snapshot →
DOE Administrative Support with TQP Management Analysis - NNSA Nevada Field Office - RFI1834083
Due Sep 14, 2026 · OASIS+ SB Pool 10101; GSA MAS (anticipated) · NAICS 541611 - Admin & General Mgmt Consulting (size standard not stated) · No set-aside specified (market research phase)
Market research for administrative office support plus technical qualification program management analysis at the NNSA Nevada Field Office. The TQP analysis piece is the differentiator: this is not pure admin support, and firms that can speak to nuclear-site qualification programs will read very differently from those offering generic staffing. Open the full Snapshot →
Sensor Agnostic Emulator and Trainer (SAET) - Support to the AF Distributed Common Ground System - RFI1832908
Due Sep 14, 2026 · OASIS+ Small Business (SIN 10401) · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services; 541330 Exception 1 - Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons; size standard not specified · No set-aside specified (OASIS+ SB pool implies small business)
Market research for a sensor agnostic emulator and trainer supporting the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System, the service's primary intelligence analysis enterprise. Modeling, simulation, and training-systems firms with DCGS or ISR exposure should respond, and the Exception 1 designation confirms this sits on the defense-systems side of 541330.

F-22 Formal Training Unit (FTU) Beddown Contracted Support Services - FA480026R0002
Due Sep 16, 2026 · OASIS+ SB Pool 10205 · NAICS 541330 - Engineering Services, $25.5M · 100% Small Business Set-Aside
The week's marquee: a 100% small business RFP for contracted support to the F-22 Formal Training Unit beddown, competed in OASIS+ SB Pool 10205. A named fifth-generation fighter program with a real small-business lane and a $25.5M engineering size standard is a rare combination, and September 16 leaves just enough runway to team properly rather than scramble. Open the full Snapshot →
Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) IT Program Management Office Support Services - 70CTD027RTBD
Due Oct 1, 2026 · GSA OASIS+ Small Business · NAICS 541990 - All Other Professional, Scientific & Technical Services (size standard not stated) · 100% Small Business Set-Aside
IT program management office support for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, set aside 100% for small business through OASIS+ SB and carrying the longest runway on the list. Note the solicitation number still ends in TBD, which means the final number is pending, so track the notice rather than the number and start capture now. Open the full Snapshot →
DACID Gillem Staff Support - Forensic Operations Support - RFI1821801
Due Jul 15, 2026 (as stated; date has already passed) · OASIS+ 8(a) Pool 20104 · Process, Physical Distribution and Logistics Consulting Services, $20.0M size standard (NAICS code number not specified in the documents) · Small Business Set-Aside anticipated, 8(a) encouraged
Sources sought for logistics management specialist and supply technician support to Army CID forensic operations at Fort Gillem, in OASIS+ 8(a) Pool 20104. The response date in our record reads July 15, 2026, which precedes this collection week and has already passed, so treat this one as a scope-and-set-aside signal for the eventual solicitation rather than a live response window and verify the current status on SAM.gov before you invest time.

How to work this list
Triage by document type before reading anything in depth. The six live solicitations - the F-22 FTU Beddown, DHS SEVP IT PMO, CBP Tunnel Technology, DISA NCTS-FE TSEQ, and the two Army National Guard analytical services buys - are competitions where the clock is already running. The 14 RFIs and the one Sources Sought are shaping opportunities: lower effort to respond to, but a real chance to influence scope, NAICS, and set-aside before the formal solicitation drops. Start with the six closing by September 3, because those are decided this week either way. For a repeatable method, see our guide on how to rip through a government RFP in under 10 minutes.
Two items deserve disproportionate attention relative to their size. The GSA IDEAS notice has no designated NAICS at all and asks respondents to recommend one among 541690, 541990, and 541330 - whichever code the government adopts sets the size standard and therefore decides who gets to compete, which is free leverage for the price of a response. And the CYBERCOM AI-first RFI is a requirement being written in real time; cleared AI and cyber operations firms will never have a cheaper opportunity to shape it. Watch the paired buys, too: the two Army National Guard requirements share NAICS 541611 and the same customer but split across an 8(a) pool and a 100% small business pool, and the two 541380 testing-laboratory notices at NAVSEA and DOT should be answered together.
The throughline this week is OASIS+, and not partially: every one of the twenty-one ran through an OASIS+ pool. If you do not hold the vehicle, none of this traffic reaches you. Our explainer on federal contract vehicles and our OASIS+ task-order triage guide break down how to position, and the Phase II on-ramp remains continuously open. Want this in your inbox every Monday?
