Forecast detail

Not yet solicited

About 2 months until the solicitation is expected. This is the window a capture team works in — enough time to build a relationship, understand the requirement, and line up teaming partners.

Solicitation expected: October 22, 2026
Anticipated award: April 1, 2027 · Q3 2027
Estimated value: Over $100M
Period of performance: July 1, 2027 to June 30, 2032
Contract type: Combination
Expected vehicle: GSA Schedule
Competition: 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.

Introduce your firm

A short introduction against this specific requirement, sent while the agency is still deciding how to buy it.

Open email

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.

Open email

Opens in your own mail client, addressed and with a subject line — you write the message. GovSprint never sends anything on your behalf.

Emails open in your mail client and are sent from your address, so the reply comes back to you and the exchange stays yours. Confirm the correct channel and any question deadline on the notice before sending — many solicitations require questions in a specific way.
