🔍 The Shaping Plays
Nine notices this week were RFIs or Sources Sought.
Three deserve special attention because they're asking industry to help define the procurement.
Agency | What's Being Shaped | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
🪖 Army | 541612 vs. 561110 | Determines future size standard |
⚡ DOE/NNSA | 493110 vs. 541614 vs. 333922 | Entire acquisition strategy changes |
🏥 CDC | NAICS + socioeconomic survey | Influences future set-aside decision |
These are some of the highest-leverage notices you'll see.
Responding to market research costs very little.
Responding after the RFP drops is much more expensive.
