The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is doing market research (a Sources Sought / RFI, not a solicitation) for the follow-on to BENEFEDS, the federal platform for dental, vision, flexible spending and long-term care insurance enrollment and premium administration. It wants capability and business-size information from firms of all sizes. Full services would start around December 31, 2027, with award expected in spring 2027.
Watch out for
- Not a solicitation. Responding does not get you a contract and no contract will be awarded from this notice; it only shapes a future competition.
THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY.
- Large, complex scope. The work spans insurance programs, a contact center and security systems, which is a lot for a small business to cover alone.
- Responses are unpaid. The cost of responding is not reimbursed.
Responses will not be reimbursed.
