About this file

This document is a Question and Answer (Q&A) sheet related to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Business Data Enrichment Services. The RFI seeks to obtain technical and/or business information and input from the marketplace regarding the availability of existing or potential solutions to implement an enterprise master data management program and improve the completeness and accuracy of the FDA's business data.

The key details include: The incumbent is Dun & Bradstreet, and the current contract information can be found on the Federal Procurement Data System - Next Generation (FPDS-NG). The FDA is open to considering set-asides for small businesses and other contract vehicles beyond the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The FDA is interested in the ability to integrate with various third-party data enrichment platforms. Respondents are encouraged to include innovative approaches in their responses. The FDA is not conducting discussions at this time, but may contact vendors if additional information is required. This RFI does not commit the government to an award and all responses will become government property.
