New Requirement, No Contract
No incumbent. A new requirement means nobody is defending a position here, and no one has an insider’s head start on the scope.
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.
