QandA_RFI-SSN_CTEP_Industry_Day.xlsx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought Notice issued by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for Professional Technical and Analytical Services. The opportunity is set aside for small and medium-sized businesses under NAICS Code 541990, with an anticipated aggregate contract value of $400,000 to $500,000 over five years. The requirement is specifically focused on supporting EXIM's China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP), which aims to help U.S. exporters compete against Chinese competition in ten transformational export areas including AI, biotech, semiconductors, renewable energy, and quantum computing.

Vendors interested in responding must submit electronic capability statements by April 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time to patricia.ludlow@exim.gov. An industry day will be held on April 22, 2025, from 10am to 1pm ET in Washington, DC. The anticipated solicitation is expected to be posted electronically during the U.S. Federal Government's Fiscal Year 2025, 3rd or 4th Quarter, with work potentially beginning in the same timeframe. The government will determine whether to proceed with a small business set-aside based on receiving at least two capable small business responses, and reserves the right to conduct full and open competition if insufficient qualified vendors are identified.
