Deadlines-soon watchlist: maintenance, water systems, and biosecurity (BidPulsar roundup)

Executive takeaway

This deadlines-soon set spans a few very different lanes: facility O&M for VA-related outpatient operations, multiple supply-and-delivery water system procurements in American Samoa, a biosecurity framework project, biowaste services, and an IT equipment/software/services vehicle listed as expired. Because the posted response deadlines in this feed are in prior years for several notices, treat this list as a triage exercise: confirm current status in the notice and attachments before committing capture resources.

What the buyer is trying to do

Across the notices, the buyers appear to be aiming for:

• Keeping healthcare-related facilities running through ongoing operations and maintenance support (VA community-based outpatient context is implied by the title).
• Procuring and delivering water distribution materials and desalination / reverse osmosis systems to address water salinity needs in American Samoa locations referenced in the titles.
• Obtaining biosecurity planning or program development via a “Biosecurity Framework Project” in American Samoa.
• Contracting for biowaste services tied to an American Samoa CBOC (as stated in the title).
• Offering a statewide IT equipment/software/services procurement listing that is explicitly labeled “EXPIRED.”

What work is implied (bullets)

• Facility operations & maintenance coverage for an outpatient setting (verify scope, hours, staffing, and compliance requirements in attachments).
• Supply and delivery logistics for water distribution system materials (confirm bill of materials and delivery locations in attachments).
• Supply and delivery of desalination system(s) (Aunu’u referenced) to support water salinity reduction (confirm technical specs and commissioning expectations in attachments).
• Supply and delivery of reverse osmosis system(s) for water salinity reduction (confirm treatment capacity/specs, spares, training, and warranties in attachments).
• Biowaste handling/disposal services for an American Samoa CBOC (confirm container types, pickup schedule, manifests, and regulatory requirements in attachments).
• Development of a biosecurity framework deliverable(s) for American Samoa (confirm deliverables, stakeholder engagement, and schedule in attachments).
• A small commodity supply notice titled “17,000 USG of JA1” (confirm product requirements, delivery terms, and quality standards in attachments).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if you have proven past performance delivering water treatment/desalination/RO systems and can support remote/island logistics implied by the American Samoa locations.
• Bid if you are a facilities O&M provider with healthcare/outpatient maintenance experience and can document a maintenance program (PMs, response times, reporting)—after verifying the actual solicitation status.
• Bid if you are a regulated waste/biowaste services firm able to operate in the referenced geography and can meet documentation requirements (verify in attachments).
• Bid if you are a consulting/planning firm with credible framework/project delivery capability for a “Biosecurity Framework Project” (confirm required outputs in attachments).
• Pass if you cannot service American Samoa delivery/operations timelines or lack the logistics chain for heavy equipment/material delivery.
• Pass if you rely on the IT vehicle that is explicitly labeled “EXPIRED,” unless you confirm a re-compete or active replacement in the notice record.
• Pass if you cannot validate that the deadline/status is current—several response deadlines shown here are in 2022–2023 while the posts are dated 2026 in this dataset.

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

Given the sparse fields in this feed, your best pricing posture will come from verifying the active solicitation documents and then triangulating market pricing:

• For water systems/materials: build pricing from a bill of materials and freight assumptions; validate lead times and shipping modes early. If the solicitation expects installation/commissioning, separate equipment vs. services pricing (verify in attachments).
• For O&M: price labor by role and coverage window; identify any pass-throughs (tools, parts, on-call) only if the solicitation allows it (verify in attachments).
• For biowaste: model recurring pickups and disposal fees; confirm whether pricing is per pickup, per container, or per pound (verify in attachments).
• For framework projects: structure by phases/deliverables (discovery, stakeholder inputs, draft framework, final) once deliverables are confirmed (verify in attachments).
• Status first: because the response deadlines shown are in prior years for multiple notices, confirm whether you are looking at an archived award, a re-post, or an active update before investing in detailed pricing.

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Pair a water treatment OEM/reseller with a local logistics/last-mile delivery partner experienced in island deliveries (verify any locality requirements in attachments).
• For desalination/RO, team a systems supplier with a commissioning/field-service provider to cover startup support (if required; verify in attachments).
• For O&M, consider subcontracting specialized trades or after-hours coverage if the scope includes multiple building systems (verify in attachments).
• For biosecurity framework work, combine domain SMEs with a project delivery firm that can manage stakeholder engagement and document production (verify in attachments).
• For biowaste, team with a compliant disposal endpoint provider if the prime cannot perform final disposal directly (verify in attachments).

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Deadline/date mismatch: the dataset shows 2026 posted dates but 2022–2023 response deadlines for these notices; confirm the record is current and not archived.
• Geography/logistics: American Samoa deliveries can drive schedule risk; confirm delivery terms, required documentation, and who bears freight risk (verify in attachments).
• Specification risk: water salinity reduction systems can have strict performance requirements—do not assume capacities, utilities, or installation requirements without the attachments.
• Compliance: biowaste work can have documentation and regulatory requirements—confirm exactly what is required in the solicitation package.
• Expired vehicle: the Florida DMS IT listing is explicitly marked “EXPIRED,” so treat it as market intel unless you confirm an active successor.
