10 2023 SSA RFP/RFQ Targets drawing interest

Over the past 6 months, the OS AI team has received numerous inquiries from Social Security Administration focused companies inquiring and researching potential RFQ/RFPs that stand to be competed at SSA in 2023. Included here we share 10 of the potential new recompete opportunities that are drawing the most interest and/or inquiries across SSA, as well as some of the agency-focused consulting firms that are being increasingly viewed as a top partner or competitor option (and/or potential employer).   

The list includes several known and yet to be defined opportunities, to include contracts and IDIQ/BPAs covering everything from Digital Modernization and Data Collection and Analytics, to Advisory and Assistance; and IV&V support.  

The vast majority of the research requests (nearly 2/3) have been partnership and teaming identification requests related to projected ‘Digital Modernization’ requirements in areas such as Citizen Experience/Services; portal/mobile applications and AI/ML/RPA. Some of the other new and **potential recompetes we have received the most inquiries and interest about since the Summer include:  

• Cybersecurity and Risk Management Support Data Collection and Analytics Task – 28321320FA0010352 
• $25M+ National Scanning Services BPA – 28321320A00040016

**OS AI Note – Dance Lightly. Do know that some of these potential requirements will NOT end up being recompeted in 2023 for any number of reasons (e.g., contract consolidation, extension, cancellation, etc), but this list, which includes several requirements that will not expire until 2024, can serve as a great foundation as you build out your pipeline and start to have teaming discussions.
