How to bid on DMEA Enterprise Program Support for DEPT of Defense

What the agency is buying

The Department of Defense's Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) needs professional, technical, and system integration services. This support is for their enterprise-wide risk management (ERM) and risk management and internal control (RMIC) programs. The goal is to maintain, assess, and fix these programs across the DMEA.

This is a single-award opportunity, meaning one contractor will be selected. It is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) using simplified procedures for commercial items.

Key dates and deadlines

The solicitation was published on July 28, 2026. All questions regarding this RFQ were due by July 29, 2026, at 4:30 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST).

Offers are due by August 14, 2026, at 4:30 PM PST. This deadline was extended from an earlier date. The government intends to award a contract without discussions, so submit your best offer initially.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is specifically for businesses certified as Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) under 13 CFR § 127.300. If your firm is not a certified WOSB, you are not eligible to bid.

The work involves technology and program support, so firms with expertise in enterprise risk management, internal controls, system integration, and related technical services would be a good fit. While no security clearance is required, the contractor will handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). You must be able to safeguard CUI according to DoDI 5200.48, NIST SP 800-171, and DFARS 252.204-7012.

Tips for a competitive response

Carefully review all solicitation documents, especially the updated Government Response Guide, which addresses vendor questions on scope, system requirements, travel, and timelines. This will help you understand the agency's specific needs and concerns.

Since the government intends to award without discussions, your initial offer must be comprehensive and highly competitive. Clearly demonstrate your firm's capability to provide professional, technical, and system integration services for enterprise risk management and internal control programs. Highlight your experience with similar projects and your ability to meet the CUI safeguarding requirements.

Ensure your pricing is realistic and competitive. Double-check all submission requirements and deadlines to avoid disqualification. Pay close attention to the specific WOSB certification requirement.
