Interested in Doing Business with the FBI

To carry out our intelligence and law enforcement missions, the FBI must meet the needs of our personnel and manage the facilities we have located across the country and around the world. 

The FBI uses a competitive process to acquire the goods and services that support the work we do, in accordance with Part 6 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).

Following guidelines from the Office of Management and Budget, the FBI is held to using best-in-class contract vehicles for many products and services. We encourage all business partners to leverage participation on these contracting solutions to better serve the FBI mission. All mandatory and preferred contract solutions can be found here.

The FBI primarily solicits bids and proposals through:

• SAM.gov
• GSA E-buy
• NASA SEWP
• DOJ Forecast
• Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts
• Interagency Agreements
• Broad Agency Announcements

Please review the sites listed above for the FBI's current solicitations and areas of interest.
