10 Trending Contract Opportunities on G2X | August 31, 2026

Ten current contract opportunities drawing attention across G2X, with the agency, scope, status, solicitation number, and response details that matter for qualification.

Two records in this edition mark the range of federal buying in a single day. One is an open call from Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, running as long as five years, to onboard commercial Group 3 uncrewed aircraft onto a marketplace built so Soldiers can choose their own equipment. Another is 14 spur gearshafts against an automated delivery contract whose guaranteed minimum quantity is two. In between sit a mandatory site visit in Chennai whose registration closes tomorrow, a chainsaw testing room in Missoula being converted into a controlled environmental conditioning chamber, record retrieval for a U.S. Attorney's Office priced per page, and a VA pre-solicitation telling service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses they will need a SEWP V contract for a solicitation with no release date. Three of these close within five days, one of them today at 2 p.m. Central. The pattern worth noting is that the response deadline is often not the binding date. Registration windows, question cutoffs, and mandatory walkthroughs settle who is eligible to quote well before the close.

1. FHWA Transportation Data Collection, Data Method Development, Data Processing, and Information Extraction

FHWA has this out as a request for information covering transportation data collection, data method development, data processing, and information extraction, the stage that comes before a solicitation. Responses are due 9/15/2026 by 2pm EDT, and questions are due 8/31/2026, so the clarification window is the tighter one. FHWA asks that the RFI number, HPPI RFI 2026, appear on all responses and communications. The record sits under the Department of Transportation with NAICS 541611 and PSC R499, and no set-aside is used. There is no price to submit and no award to chase here. The value is in shaping how the agency describes the data collection and processing work it eventually buys, and in learning which methods it treats as in scope. Firms with highway data, sensor, or information-extraction credentials have two weeks to put that on the record.

2. Utilization Management Review System

HHS is at the solicitation stage for a utilization management review system serving the Bemidji Area, including the Red Lake Service Unit and the Cass Lake Service Unit. Quotes under solicitation number 75H70526Q00026 close September 10, 2026 at 2 p.m. Central. The award is firm-fixed-price with a base period plus two option years, and the buy is unrestricted with no set-aside, so small health IT vendors compete directly against larger ones. It is coded under NAICS 513210 for software publishers, with PSC DH10. Two named service units define the deployment footprint, which keeps the requirement legible for vendors that already operate utilization review platforms. Three priced periods make option pricing as consequential as the base year. The near-term work is confirming that one platform can serve both service units under a firm-fixed-price line and getting the quote in before the cutoff.

3. Missoula Technical Development Center installation of HVAC system

The Agriculture Department is converting the HVAC system in a chainsaw testing room at the Missoula Technical Development Center into a controlled environmental conditioning chamber. Solicitation number 1240LU26Q0117 is a request for quotation posted as a combined synopsis/solicitation, and quotes are due September 17, 2026. The requirement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 238220 with PSC N045, so large mechanical contractors are out and the field is small firms that can staff a job in Missoula. The conversion framing matters for pricing: the existing system is being adapted and extended, not torn out for a new install, so the technical risk sits in equipment already in the building. Conditioning-chamber conditions are a tighter specification than comfort heating and cooling, which makes conversion work at a technical facility the credential worth leading with. The September 17 close leaves room for a site walk before pricing.

4. DA01--PCAT DATA STEWARD

VA Puget Sound Health Care System is buying a Primary Care Analytic Team Data Steward, and this announcement is the only solicitation that will be issued. Solicitation number 36C26026Q0987 is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products and commercial services prepared under Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul Subpart 12.212(b)(1), with the details in an attached request for quotation. Quotes are due September 04, 2026. Veterans Affairs has set the work aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business under NAICS 518210 for computing infrastructure, data processing and web hosting, with a $40M small business size standard, and PSC DA01 for IT application development support labor. A firm-fixed-price purchase order is anticipated across a base period plus three option years. Provisions and clauses come in by reference under the FAR overhaul part 52 deviation, so the attached RFQ is the only place the full requirement appears. With the close days away, set-aside eligibility is the first filter and that attachment sets the rest.

5. 360EOD & 360EOD DET 1 SLATE BANDS

This one closes today. The 82d Contracting Squadron at Sheppard AFB, Texas is buying Slate Band v2 units with accouterments, delivered to Sheppard and to Eglin AFB, Florida, and solicitation number FA302026Q0112 closes at 2 p.m. Central on Monday, August 31, 2026. Quotes go by email to the primary and alternate contacts in the notice and must stay valid through September 30. The question period closed August 27. It is a brand name requirement set aside entirely for small business, with a single firm-fixed-price contract anticipated under NAICS 334519 and its 600-employee size standard, PSC 6665. The announcement is the only solicitation, amendments post to the same record, and the notice cautions bidders to check it periodically. For distributors already carrying the product line, the decision window is measured in hours.

6. 30--GEARSHAFT,SPUR

14 spur gearshafts, NSN 3040013846451, with delivery 0127 days after date of order: the quantity is small, and the contract structure is the reason to read the record. Solicitation number SPE7L426U1172 is an RFQ posted as a combined synopsis/solicitation by the Defense Department, with quotes due September 14, 2026 and electronic submission required. The award may become an automated indefinite delivery contract running one year or until the aggregate total of orders placed against it reaches the stated ceiling, with an estimated one order per year and a guaranteed minimum quantity of two. That leaves a floor of two units and volume that only materializes if demand appears, which is the calculation for any shop weighing setup cost against uncertain quantity. Hard copies are not available, and digitized drawings and military specifications and standards come electronically. Items ship to CONUS and OCONUS DLA depots through the consolidation and containerization point, and any responsible source may quote under NAICS 333613.

7. Record Retrieval Services

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas is buying record retrieval services, and the closing date has already moved once: quotes are due September 01, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. Central. Solicitation number 15JA0526R00000147 is a combined synopsis/solicitation from the Justice Department, set aside entirely for small business under NAICS 541990 with PSC R499. Performance runs September 21, 2026 through September 20, 2027, with four option years behind it, so a modest annual services buy carries five years of potential work. The pricing structure deserves a close read: CLINs 003, 1003, 2003, 3003, and 4003 are priced per page only, which ties revenue to retrieval volume instead of a fixed monthly fee. Bidders have to set page rates that hold up across all five priced periods. The extension is the last flexibility on offer, and it expires tomorrow.

8. 191N6026Q0007 - PR16205087 - American Center Chennai’s Technology Infrastructure Modernization

The gate here is a mandatory site visit, not the quote deadline. The U.S. Consulate General Chennai is modernizing technology infrastructure at the American Center Chennai under solicitation number 191N6026Q0007, and vendors must register by 3:00 p.m. IST on September 01, 2026 to attend the mandatory walkthrough on September 03, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. IST at the consulate on Anna Salai. Technical queries close September 05, 2026, and quotes are due September 15, 2026 at 03:00 p.m. IST to the consulate procurement address. The State Department issued the RFQ on August 28, 2026 with no set-aside, under NAICS 541519 and PSC R425, and the vendor furnishes all the information required to accomplish the work described in the solicitation documents. Attendance at the walkthrough is in person, so the practical field is firms that can be in Chennai that morning, and registration closes first. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, and the contracting officer named in the notice handles the site visit registration and technical queries alike.

9. Drone Marketplace Onboarding of Group 3 UAS

Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is running an open call to onboard commercial Group 3 uncrewed aircraft systems onto the Drone Marketplace, and the response window runs to August 2031. Solicitation number W58RGZ-26-S-C001-0008 is a Call for Solutions against Commercial Solutions Opening W58RGZ-26-S-C001, issued under 10 U.S.C. 3458, with no set-aside and a call intended to stay open and enduring for a period not to exceed five years. Group 3 covers aircraft between 55 and 1,320 pounds maximum gross takeoff weight, operating up to 18,000 feet above mean sea level and typically flying under 250 knots. Submissions are assessed for placement on the marketplace at one of two procurement readiness levels, Provisional or Cleared. The Army describes the marketplace as a way to scale the industrial base and let Soldiers choose the equipment that best meets their mission needs, a pivot from traditional acquisition models. A company that is not ready this quarter is not shut out, though the government reserves the right to alter or cancel the call at any time.

10. 7J20--Zero Trust Encryption (VA-26-00027030)

There is nothing to respond to yet, which is the point of this record. Veterans Affairs has posted a pre-solicitation notice stating that the planned acquisition strategy for Zero Trust Encryption, solicitation number 36C10B26Q0474, is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business set-aside on NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement V governmentwide acquisition contract, under NAICS 541519. The solicitation release date is unknown. Pre-solicitation status means no response is due and no pricing is requested. The strategy narrows the field twice: a bidder needs veteran-owned set-aside eligibility and a place on SEWP V, so the qualifying work happens now, while there is still no date on the calendar. The record also carries PSC 7J20. For firms that already hold SEWP V and meet the set-aside, the useful move is watching for the release; for everyone else, teaming with a holder is the way in.
