2023 Doing Business with the FBI: Completing an RFI
Responding properly to a Request For Information (RFI) takes time – it's not enough to just send marketing materials. You'll need to put together a customized package that succinctly tells what you have to offer, and answers questions in a way that will make your response stand out from all the others. Join professionals from the Procurement Section at the FBI to discuss what they need to see when evaluating your response.
