This is a recompete. The agency has named who holds the work today, which tells you what you are displacing and what to ask about.

Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Ask about the acquisition strategy

Ask whether a set-aside is being considered, which vehicle is planned, and whether the agency wants industry input. This is the question that can still change the outcome.

Open email
Ask to be notified on release

Ask to be added to any industry-day or notification list so you are not relying on catching the posting yourself.
