20 top RFP/RFQ Targets for the Food and Drug Administration in 2023

The OS AI team has seen a surge in firms inquiring and researching potential RFQ/RFPs that stand to be competed at the Department of Health and Human Service’s Food and Drug Administration in 2023. Included here are 20 contracts that are drawing a lot of interest from our customers, as well as some of the FDA-focused consulting firms that are being increasingly viewed as a top partner or competitor option (and/or potential employer).  

The list includes many significant contracts, tasks and BPAs supporting everything from Regulatory Submissions and Financial Management Systems support to Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, IT Modernization, and Strategy support.  

While 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), this list can serve as a great foundation as you build out your pipeline and start to have teaming discussions.
