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.

Statement of work, as posted

The purpose of this procurement is to provide Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Support Services for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)/Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)/Visa Security Program (VSP).

Additionally, it is helpful for VSPTS support to have helpful, detailed understanding of DoS Consular Affairs and CBP National Targeting Center (NTC) business and technical organizations.
