DNR - Division of Parks & Wildlife COCloses September 8, 2026

What the agency is buying and why it matters

The Colorado DNR - Division of Parks & Wildlife is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a wildlife health information database. This is an opportunity for vendors to provide details about their database solutions that could meet the agency's needs.

An RFI is a preliminary step; it is not a purchase order or a contract offer. It allows the agency to gather information from the market before potentially issuing a formal solicitation later. Responding to an RFI can help your company get on the agency's radar for future opportunities related to wildlife health data management.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This RFI was published on August 07, 2026. The deadline for responses is September 08, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. All responses must be submitted by this time.

After the deadline, the agency will review the information submitted by vendors. This input will help inform their understanding of available solutions and may guide the development of future solicitations or requirements for a wildlife health information database.

Who this opportunity suits

This RFI is suitable for firms that specialize in database development, data management solutions, or information systems, particularly those with experience in healthcare, environmental data, or biological data management. The commodity line for this RFI is "MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES, NO. 2 (NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED)."

Companies that can provide robust, scalable, and secure database solutions for collecting, storing, and analyzing wildlife health data would find this RFI relevant.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response

When responding to an RFI, focus on clearly articulating your capabilities and how your solutions align with the agency's stated need for a wildlife health information database. Even though it's not a bid for a contract, a well-structured and informative response can make a strong impression.

Read the attached document carefully to understand the specific information the agency is seeking. Provide concrete examples or case studies of similar projects you have completed. Ensure your response is concise, addresses all questions asked, and highlights any unique features or benefits of your proposed approach or existing products.
