About this opportunity
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors capable of providing investigative fieldwork services for Federal Background Investigations on a nationwide and potentially worldwide basis. The solicitation seeks contractors who can conduct Enhanced Subject Interviews, obtain personal testimony, perform record searches, and collect information through both in-person and virtual methods to support evolving personnel vetting requirements, including continuous evaluation and continuous vetting processes. DCSA is particularly interested in innovative solutions that can adapt to changing statutory, policy, and technological environments, with emphasis on vendors' capabilities for virtual investigations, technological innovations, AI opportunities, cybersecurity compliance, and approaches to managing compressed timelines. The agency has requested detailed responses covering geographic capabilities, technological innovations, investigator training approaches, teaming strategies, and potential contract structures. Vendors must submit their responses by August 13, 2025, with the government providing a Q&A template to facilitate information gathering.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract is projected to have a five-year ordering period with five additional one-year option periods, with an anticipated award date no later than December 2027. The scope involves handling approximately 500,000 investigations annually, representing a substantial volume of investigative work that will require significant contractor capacity and resources. While specific dollar values are not disclosed in this RFI phase, the scale and duration of the contract suggest this will be a major procurement opportunity given the large investigation volume and extended performance period. The RFI emphasizes flexibility in contract structure due to anticipated changes in requirements and encourages creative solutions for modernizing background investigation processes across the federal government.
