This will be a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for support services. The LD is conducting an information-driven, decision making process to plan and execute a successful acquisition. This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to help the FBI make informed acquisition decisions and business case analyses to: • Assess the current marketplace and existing industry capabilities to fulfill the scope of work; • Obtain recommendations from industry on the contract duration/period of performance, acquisition strategies and approaches (including contract and incentive structures) that are available to support the scope of work; • Identify and assess the major risks to the acquisition; • Identify and mitigate any potential barriers to competition; • Determine industry data/information needs to support proposal preparations; and • Identify areas that could be set-aside for small business. 1.2 This is a Request for Information (RFI) only This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the FBI is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals.

If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps). It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. The FBI may request follow-up information and/or capability presentations from RFI respondents as a result of the information received from this RFI. The purpose of these follow-up questions and discussions is for the FBI to better understand the market capabilities in relation to the various acquisition strategies available for this effort.
