Risks & flags

• Opportunity is currently only a synopsis — full solicitation details, scope, and eligibility requirements are not yet available, limiting analysis for wired-bidder indicators
• Program by nature is restricted to federally recognized tribes or entities serving them, which constitutes a de facto narrow eligibility pool
