Proposals are due on February 5, 2024, and the anticipated contract start date is March 1, 2024.

This solicitation is open to nonprofit organizations, which can partner with for-profit entities. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
