What the agency is buying and why you should care
The Department of Defense is looking for information from companies that can provide research and support services for its health advisory committees. This is a Request for Information, or RFI. It is not a direct solicitation for a contract, but rather an opportunity for the agency to learn about available capabilities in the market.
Responding to an RFI allows your company to introduce its expertise to the Department of Defense. This can help shape future solicitations and position your firm for potential contract opportunities that may arise from this research.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
