United States Senate

The United States Senate, a legislative branch agency, procures information technology, software licensing, and facility management services through its Office of the Sergeant at Arms. The Senate issues competitive solicitations and special notices for vendor renewals, maintenance agreements, and new system implementations across its Washington, D.C. operations.

No federal contract award portfolio data is recorded in the source. Recent contract opportunities reflect the Senate's active IT procurement cycle, with seven open solicitations posted between early August and mid-October 2026. The agency issues requests for quotation (RFQ) for software maintenance renewals, licensing agreements, and operational tools through a direct-email submission process managed by the Acquisitions team at the Office of the Sergeant at Arms. All recent opportunities carry no set-aside designation.

Current open opportunities include DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager (RFQ 2027-R-008, due October 30, 2026), U.S. Senate OneSpan Renewal (RFQ 2027-R-009, due October 29, 2026), U.S. Senate Cornerstone OnDemand License Support (amended RFQ 2027-R-002, final deadline September 1, 2026), Hoteling and Conference Room Scheduling Software Solution (amended RFQ 2026-R-062, deadline September 21, 2026), U.S. Senate Cisco Maintenance Renewal (RFQ 2027-R-001, due August 21, 2026), U.S. Senate Adobe Analytics Renewal (RFQ 2026-R-080, due August 12, 2026), and NetScout Maintenance and Support Services Renewal (twice-amended RFQ 2026-R-078, deadline August 25, 2026). The Hoteling and NetScout opportunities include multiple amendments extending submission deadlines and updating pricing tables or questions-and-answers attachments.

Submissions are directed to Acquisitions@saa.senate.gov with solicitation-specific subject lines. The Senate's procurement pattern centers on brand-name software and service renewals for established enterprise tools (Cisco, Adobe, Cornerstone OnDemand, OneSpan, NetScout, DigiCert) alongside new facility-management and scheduling capabilities. Competition appears limited to vendors holding existing licenses or authorized resellers, given the brand-specific RFQ language across most opportunities.

The U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives make up the two chambers of Congress. The Senate has 100 members, 2 from each state, who are elected to serve for a term of 6 years.
