The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore, United States organizations. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the cost. The procurement schedule includes a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for May 27, 2026.
