How to bid on Aptean IRMS 360 Maintenance & Support FY27 for the Department of Justice
What the DEA is buying and why it matters
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), part of the Department of Justice, intends to purchase maintenance and support services for its Aptean IRMS 360 software system. This is an important opportunity for vendors who can provide these specific services.
The DEA expects to make a firm-fixed-price purchase. While the agency anticipates a sole-source procurement with Aptean, Inc., other vendors who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit a capability statement for consideration.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting a capability statement is September 25, 2026, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time. All submissions must be received electronically by this time.
After the deadline, the government will review any submitted capability statements. A decision on whether to open the requirement to competition will be made at the government's discretion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is primarily for firms that can provide maintenance and support for the Aptean IRMS 360 software system. The relevant NAICS Code for this requirement is 513210.
Vendors with proven expertise in supporting this specific software are encouraged to respond, especially if they can demonstrate they meet the government's detailed requirements.
How to respond
To respond to this notice, you must submit a capability statement electronically. Send your submission to [email protected].
This notice is not a request for competitive quotation, and a Request for Quotation (RFQ) is not available. Your submission should focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's ability to meet the DEA's requirements for Aptean IRMS 360 maintenance and support.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Even for a sole-source intent, a strong capability statement can make a difference. Clearly outline your firm's experience and expertise specifically with Aptean IRMS 360 maintenance and support.
Provide concrete examples of past performance that are relevant to the services described. Ensure your submission directly addresses how your firm can fulfill the government's requirements as detailed in the notice.
