Department of Homeland Security: what's coming up before the RFP
Before the DHS posts a formal solicitation, it tips its hand — through Sources Sought, Presolicitation, and Special Notices. These are the early signals of DHS work that's coming, drawn live from SAM.gov, so you can position before your competition sees the RFP.

How to read this
These are pre-solicitation signals, not formal DHS forecasts. The Department of Homeland Security publishes Sources Sought, Presolicitation, and Special Notices while it's still researching and planning — weeks or months before the formal RFP. We surface them as a leading indicator of demand: a way to spot, shape, and prepare for DHS work before it becomes a deadline-driven competition. Always confirm the specifics against the source notice on SAM.gov.

Why getting in early wins DHS contracts
- Responding to a DHS Sources Sought can shape the requirement — and the set-aside — in your favour before it's locked.
- Presolicitation notices buy you weeks to build the right team and capture plan, instead of scrambling at RFP release.
- Special Notices and DHS industry days put you in front of the contracting officer while the field is still small.
- By the time the formal DHS RFP posts, the firms that engaged early already have the relationships and the inside track.

Methodology. "Coming up" signals are notices whose SAM.gov notice type is Sources Sought, Presolicitation, or Special Notice — the early stages an agency posts while researching and planning a procurement. DHS notices are matched on the agency name across department and parent-org fields, so figures are a close approximation rather than an exact org-chart roll-up. They are leading indicators of buying intent, not formal agency procurement forecasts, and not every signal becomes a solicitation. Counts are of the live US federal opportunity corpus WinAContract tracks, sourced from SAM.gov and refreshed daily. As of June 2026. Always verify any specific notice against the source on SAM.gov.
