Scope: Federal

This Request for Information (RFI) supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate’s efforts to conduct market research in support of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) Closure & Support (PICS) for the Program Management Office (PMO).

The S&T Directorate has responsibility for the safe, reliable, secure, efficient and compliant operations of PIADC, which is located on Plum Island, New York, an 840-acre island located approximately one and one-half miles from the eastern end of Long Island’s North Fork.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
