Summary: EBMSS and ESBSS Update for Industry The purpose of this notice is to clarify the requirements between the Enterprise Business Management Support Services (EBMSS) and the Enterprise Small Business Support Services (ESBSS). The EBMSS scope is strategic in nature and CBP requires contractors with the depth and breadth of technical, operational, and organizational expertise to support program execution and positively impact the Nation’s border security posture and mission execution. Please note the scope and acquisition strategy for the EBMSS contract is not being considered at this time and the current EBMSS does not expire until December 2023. More importantly, the ESBSS requirement is not intended to be a direct follow-on to CBP’s current EBMSS BPA. The ESBSS scope is envisioned to be more operationally focused. Therefore, CBP plans the ESBSS acquisition to cover, in part, the current Enterprise Program Management Office (EPMO) contract. The ESBSS RFI was issued for market research purposes and to examine potential enhancements of the current EPMO scope. A high-level timeline for CBP’s ESBSS requirement can be found below. Please note that this only an approximation and will be updated as needed by CBP. Please continue to monitor betaSAM (SAM.gov | Home), APFS (https://apfs.dhs.gov/), and GSA eBuy (https://www.ebuy.gsa.gov/ebuy/) for additional information. Approximate high-level timeline: FY22, 1st Quarter: Industry Day FY22, 2nd Quarter: Release draft solicitation FY22, 3rd Quarter: Release solicitation; responses due FY22, 4th Quarter: Award(s)
