Over the past 6 months, the OS AI team has received multiple inquiries from US Department of Agriculture focused companies inquiring and researching potential RFQ/RFPs that stand to be competed at USDA in 2023. Here we share 30 of the potential recompete opportunities that have drawn the most interest and/or inquiries across the agency, as well as some of the USDA-focused consulting firms that are being increasingly viewed as a top partner or competitor option (and/or potential employer).
The list includes several large contract opportunities, including contracts and IDIQ/BPAs covering everything from database management and administration to cloud technology, Salesforce, IT support, identification management, system development, modernization, and enhancement, financial management support and more.
OS AI Note – Dance Lightly. Do know that some of these potential requirements are already in process and others 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.
