Things to watch

From the version posted Oct 28, 2026.

Worth checking: Security and authorization demands. A federal cloud system usually needs security authorization work, which can be costly for a small software firm.
Minor: Market research only. No contract will be awarded from this RFI, but answering helps shape the later solicitation and shows FEMA your firm is interested.
