BidPulsar Deadlines Soon: GEODSS/GBOSS O&M RFI, Hill AFB Plating Shop Industry Day, and other active federal notices

This roundup flags the most actionable near-term moves: respond to the GEODSS/GBOSS O&M sources sought with credible multi-site 24/7 ops and sustainment experience, and prepare early positioning for the Hill AFB Plating Shop Renovation (large-magnitude DBB) via Industry Day.
