About this opportunity
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), under the Department of Justice, issued a Special Notice on January 11, 2026, announcing a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research for an independent assessment of the agency's financial management and information technology operations. This RFI is issued pursuant to FAR 15.201(e) solely for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract. The DEA seeks to identify qualified sources capable of delivering independent, outcomes-based assessments of its financial management processes, contract administration, budget formulation and execution, and IT practices. The government intends to structure any resulting acquisition using a performance-based approach under an open market strategy, though it reserves the right to pursue alternative acquisition strategies. This market research effort supports the DEA's broader commitment to transparency, good governance, and continuous improvement of its internal operations.
Respondents must submit capability statements and feedback on the draft Statement of Objectives by January 26, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET, with responses limited to a maximum of 10 pages and submitted via email to designated addresses. The anticipated engagement will span 180 days with deliverables including an inception report within 30 days, interim briefing at 90 days, and a final comprehensive report; all personnel must be eligible for DOJ public trust clearance. The RFI welcomes participation from small and large businesses, including 8(a) firms, HUBZone-certified businesses, women-owned small businesses (WOSB), and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). The assessment will comprehensively evaluate DEA's financial and acquisition practices, IT initiatives from 2020-2024, compliance with federal standards including GAGAS and GAAP, and workforce capacity, with the goal of identifying inefficiencies, strengthening internal controls, and creating a modernization roadmap. The government will not reimburse respondents for preparation costs, and responses will remain confidential within government circles.
