About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Financial Statement Audit (FSA) services, targeting certified public accounting firms under NAICS code 541211. The government seeks to procure comprehensive financial statement audit services for the Department of Commerce and the United States Patent and Trademark Office, requiring contractors to conduct annual full-scope audits in accordance with government auditing standards, evaluate internal controls, assess compliance with laws and regulations, and test information technology controls. Key qualifications include providing a team of at least three key personnel at the Manager level or above with demonstrated experience in federal financial statement audits, particularly for agencies undergoing major system modernizations. The government is exploring various evaluation factors and acquisition innovations including interactive Q&A sessions, one-on-one meetings, reverse industry days, and technical demonstrations. The RFI response deadline is August 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with responses to be submitted using the attached "FSA Market Research Questions v2.docx" document due to technical difficulties with the originally planned Microsoft Forms submission method.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be competed under full and open competition, with no current contractor or incumbent information provided in the documentation. The contract structure envisions a 5-year period from February 2026 through January 2031, consisting of a base year and four potential option years for conducting the financial statement audits. The audits will primarily be conducted in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and will cover both the DOC's consolidated financial statements and the USPTO's financial statements on an annual basis. While specific contract values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the market research documentation, the government indicates that based on RFI responses, they may hold an industry outreach event with vendors to discuss requirements and shape the acquisition approach. Vendors who do not respond to this market research survey are not excluded from participating in any resulting solicitation, though the government strongly encourages all interested parties to provide comprehensive feedback to help inform the procurement strategy.
