The U.S. Small Business Administration is preparing an RFP to overhaul its online communications and improve its website functionality and engagement with citizens.
The Obama administration is promoting small business and SBA programs to boost economic recovery, although some members of Congress, which controls the agency’s budget, have said they are eying cuts to the SBA.
The 60-year-old federal agency said it plans to release an RFP on Feb. 14 with a mid-March deadline for a contract valued between $500K and $30M for its duration, which could stretch from 10 months to more than four years.
A firm will be awarded the business on an “all or none” basis, but joint ventures can pitch if declared before the proposal deadline.
The scope of work is wide-ranging, from strategic planning and content development to social media management, web design and technical analysis of its online operations.
The SBA is based in Washington, D.C.
