MilTech Regulatory & Compliance Subject Matter Experts: FDA, NIOSH, and/or ISO Compliance

Montana State University's MilTech department has issued Request for Proposal (MSU-RFP-22-22) seeking Regulatory and Compliance Subject Matter Experts in FDA, NIOSH, and/or ISO Compliance. The procurement is structured as an hourly rate proposal where vendors can submit proposals for one, two, or all three service categories: FDA Compliance, NIOSH Regulations, and ISO Standards Compliance. Potential contractors must submit comprehensive references, demonstrate substantial years of experience, and provide detailed key personnel qualifications. The proposal requires vendors to calculate a single blended hourly rate for each service category, with MilTech anticipating awarding one or more contracts at their discretion. The RFP was released on March 21, 2022, with proposals due by April 19, 2022, at 2:00 PM MDT through the university's eMacs system. Evaluation criteria appear to include experience, qualifications, and potential additional points for compliance with an Executive Order promoting wage transparency for Montana women. The MilTech department, a US government Office of the Secretary of Defense Technology Transition Partnership Intermediary, seeks experts who can provide product design, prototyping, technology scouting, and manufacturing assistance to government and non-traditional defense suppliers.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract will utilize Net 30 payment terms and is facilitated through the university's electronic system. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears open to various qualified consulting and regulatory compliance firms with expertise in FDA, NIOSH, and ISO standards. The RFP suggests a flexible contracting approach, allowing multiple vendors to be selected based on their specific area of expertise. No precise budget range or total contract value is specified in the available documentation, indicating that pricing will be primarily determined by the single blended hourly rates proposed by vendors. The procurement appears designed to establish a pool of subject matter experts who can provide specialized regulatory and compliance consulting services to MilTech's technology transition and product development initiatives. Potential contractors should carefully review the full RFP documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements and evaluation criteria.
