Quick Summary
The Executive Office of the President (EOP), specifically the Office of Management and Budget's Made in America Office (MIAO), has issued a Special Notice/Request for Information (RFI) for a Made in America Market Research Hub. This RFI seeks to identify capabilities for a centralized, scalable data source to support domestic sourcing determinations across Federal procurement and financial assistance programs. Responses are due by April 08, 2026.
Purpose & Overview
This RFI aims to explore options for establishing a single, trusted, and continuously updated data source to help Federal procurement officers and grantees efficiently and effectively identify domestic products. The goal is to strengthen compliance, transparency, and analytic capability related to Made in America laws, such as the Buy American Act. This is for market research purposes only and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP).
Key Requirements / Deliverables
The desired solution is a standardized, continuously updated dataset and analytic capability that enables agencies to:
- Identify domestic manufacturers and suppliers by category.
- Support waiver review determinations with traceable documentation.
- Reduce compliance burden while increasing accuracy and defensibility of domestic sourcing determinations.
- Integrate with existing Federal procurement and grants systems (e.g., FPDS, SAM.gov).
- Utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) for data interfacing and analysis.
- Provide reporting and analytics on market research data.
- Ensure data governance, security, traceability, and auditability.
