What is the primary role of the DHS Industry Liaison Office?

The office acts as a bridge between the private sector and DHS acquisition officials, providing vendors with information on upcoming requirements and guidance on how to effectively present capabilities to the agency's procurement leadership.

Does the Industry Liaison Office issue solicitations directly?

No, this office focuses on vendor engagement, market research, and outreach. Actual solicitations are managed by the specific DHS component contracting offices, though this office helps vendors understand the agency's overarching procurement priorities.

How can vendors best prepare for engagements with this office?

Vendors should develop a clear capability statement that aligns with DHS mission areas such as cybersecurity, emergency management, or border technology. Demonstrating how your solution addresses specific departmental challenges is more effective than providing a general overview of services.
