CenTAM Acquisition Framework Update:

Since the CenTAM Acquisition Framework was developed, Census’s enterprise needs have continued to evolve, including increased demand for Super Intelligence (SI) and other emerging technology capabilities. As a result, the Government is reassessing portions of the framework to ensure continued alignment with current and future enterprise needs.

The Government is prioritizing the more mature Decennial and Geospatial requirements while continuing to evaluate the scope and acquisition strategy for Enterprise and Systems & Programs

(SPS). Accordingly, CenTAM procurements will be organized as follows:

• Part A – Decennial and Geospatial: The Government anticipates solicitation activity in

FY27 Q1.

• Part B – Enterprise and SPS: Requirements and acquisition strategies are being further evaluated. Additional information will be provided as those efforts progress.

Key Points for Industry:

• The overarching CenTAM Framework remains intact. This update reflects the

Government’s prioritization of the Decennial and Geospatial procurements and provides additional flexibility to further refine Enterprise and SPS.

• Part A and Part B will be conducted as separate procurements under the overarching

CenTAM Framework. The Part A/Part B designation should not be interpreted as acquisition phases or as requiring sequential participation.

• Any applicable eligibility requirements, limitations, or other restrictions will be identified in the respective solicitations.

• Additional information regarding the scope, requirements, and acquisition strategy for each procurement will be provided through the applicable solicitation and future communications, as appropriate.

Questions and Comments:

The Government is not seeking questions or comments in response to this Special Notice.

Industry partners are encouraged to continue monitoring SAM.gov for future CenTAM updates, including anticipated solicitation activity for Part A in FY27 Q1.
