Risks & flags

Extremely broad multi-year open window (Nov 2024 – Sep 2026) with no single deadline — implies rolling submissions rather than competitive single award; not a red flag for wiring but unusual for procurement tracking.
No dollar values, evaluation criteria, or deliverables specified in the synopsis — insufficient detail to fully assess competitiveness.
