# OPM Prepares Data Science Competition

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) may be preparing a competition for data science and analytics support services. The available report is truncated and does not provide a solicitation timeline, scope, estimated value, contract vehicle, or procurement contact, so the opportunity is not yet detailed enough for firms to assess a specific bid strategy.

- Data science and analytics firms can review their relevant capabilities and experience in preparation for a possible OPM solicitation.
- Companies should use an official OPM notice to confirm requirements, eligibility, schedule, and any applicable contract vehicle before committing bid resources.

**Jurisdictions:** federal
