FDA’s Office of Compliance and Enforcement will be sending a letter to each of the states and territories alerting them to the new RFPs and plans to work with the states one on one to determine which RFP option (fixed price RFP or cost-reimbursement RFP) would be most suitable for the state to use to apply.
