Efforts to identify potential sources included forecasting in the DHS Acquisition Planning Forecast System (APFS) (F2026072285, published 11/12/2025, revised 02/25/2026), which yielded no responses. The J&A will be posted on SAM.gov under the solicitation number with an estimated publication date of 04/30/2026. The Contracting Officer will determine the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable by comparing it with an Independent Government Cost Estimate and similar items in related industries.
