Request for information (RFI) 70US0927R70090002 from the U.S. Secret Service, part of Homeland Security. It asks which firms could coordinate ground transportation for about 31,000 federal law enforcement personnel at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. This is market research only: no contract is awarded from it, and responses go by email by the response due date of November 20, 2026, 12:00 PM Eastern.
Who can bid
- Any firm may respond. The RFI seeks sources within California with demonstrated experience managing transportation for large, multi-venue, multi-jurisdictional or high-visibility events.
- For a possible future small business set-aside, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance for personnel must go to the responder's own employees.
How to submit: Email to keisha.pender@usss.dhs.gov and katheryn.dennis@usss.dhs.gov. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (4)
- Worth checking: Information request only, not a solicitation. No contract is awarded from this notice and responding is not an offer, but a possible later request for proposals (RFP) could follow.
- Worth checking: Very large scale and California focus. The work covers about 31,000 personnel, 100-200 lodging sites and 40 venues across more than 50 miles, and the RFI seeks sources within California.
- Minor: Security-sensitive work. Contractor staff would follow Government credentialing and access procedures, and sensitive route and schedule details come only on a need-to-know basis.

- Minor: Small business share of work. To be considered for a small business set-aside, at least 50 percent of the personnel cost must go to the responder's own employees, which limits heavy subcontracting.
