How to bid on an Enterprise Training Infrastructure Study for US Capitol Police
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is seeking information from architectural and engineering (A/E) firms for a study on their future enterprise training infrastructure. This study will evaluate various options for their training facilities, such as upgrading existing sites, building new ones, leasing, using partner resources, or relocating training functions.
This is an important opportunity for A/E firms to provide input on a significant planning effort. While this is an RFI and not a direct contract offer, it allows firms to showcase their expertise and influence future project direction for a critical government agency.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on August 14, 2026. All responses must be submitted by October 13, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. Submissions should be sent via email to [email protected].
It is important to remember that this is for information and planning purposes only. The USCP is not making a commitment to procure services at this stage, and submitting a response does not guarantee a future contract or reimbursement for costs incurred.
Who this opportunity suits
This RFI is best suited for qualified Architectural and Engineering (A/E) firms with experience in conducting feasibility studies, infrastructure planning, campus planning initiatives, or similar projects for federal, military, law enforcement, or public safety facilities. Firms with a strong background in evaluating operational requirements and developing infrastructure alternatives will find this particularly relevant.
The category for this opportunity is education, reflecting the focus on training infrastructure.
How to respond
To respond, you need to prepare several documents and email them to [email protected]. Your submission should include a vendor capability statement addressing the Statement of Objectives (SOO), a description of your firm's comparable experience, a recommended technical approach, a proposed scope of services, anticipated deliverables, team composition, and a recommended Period of Performance. You also need to provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) budgetary estimate for the proposed effort.
The USCP is also interested in any recommendations you may have to improve the proposed requirement, study methodology, acquisition strategy, or future Statement of Work. All questions must be submitted in writing to the same email address using the provided template.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your response, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's specific experience with similar A/E feasibility studies and infrastructure planning. Provide concrete examples of past projects that align with the USCP's needs, especially those involving federal, military, or law enforcement facilities.
Your recommended technical approach should be well-defined and show a clear understanding of the project's objectives. While this is an RFI, a thoughtful and realistic Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) budgetary estimate will show your firm's ability to plan and execute such a study. Ensure all requested documents are included and that your submission is organized and easy to review.
