How to respond to the US Secret Service event transportation RFI
What the Secret Service is seeking
The U.S. Secret Service is gathering information about vendors and technologies that can coordinate transportation logistics for National Special Security Events. Events may range from small or short-duration operations to large, multi-venue events comparable in complexity to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
This is a Request for Information, not a contract solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. The agency says it will not reimburse vendors for the costs of preparing or submitting a response.
Deadline and what it means
Responses are due November 20, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The RFI was published October 27, 2026.
Treat the deadline as the cutoff for submitting information, not as a contract award date. Check the RFI and Amendment 1 for the response instructions and the posted question-and-answer responses.
Who may be a fit
This opportunity may suit firms with capabilities in transportation logistics coordination, including vendors or technology providers able to support events with different sizes, durations, geographic footprints, and operational scopes.
The agency is seeking information to identify potential vendors and technologies. Review the objectives in Section 6.0 of the RFI to assess whether your capabilities are relevant.

Prepare a focused response
Use the RFI’s Section 6.0 objectives to organize your response. Clearly describe the transportation coordination capabilities and technologies your firm can provide, and connect each point to the agency’s stated objectives.
Be specific about the kinds of event scale, duration, geographic footprint, and operational scope your experience or capabilities can address. Follow the RFI’s submission instructions, review Amendment 1’s answers, and leave time to submit before the deadline.
