Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations (FFDE)

The contract seeks qualified providers to perform formal fitness-for-duty evaluations that assess both physical and mental health dimensions to determine whether an employee’s health status impacts their ability to safely and effectively perform essential job functions. These evaluations are required when documented changes in an individual’s health condition raise concerns about occupational readiness, and they must be conducted in accordance with established clinical and legal standards to ensure objectivity, confidentiality, and compliance with federal regulations. The work will be performed in Alexandria, Virginia, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, and is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 621330, which pertains to offices of mental health practitioners. The contracting entity is Washington Headquarters Services under the Department of Defense, indicating this effort supports military or defense personnel whose roles demand high levels of physical and psychological reliability. While no specific set-aside designation is listed, the requirement emphasizes clinical rigor and adherence to protocols that protect both employee rights and mission readiness. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in conducting comprehensive assessments that integrate medical, psychological, and occupational evaluations, and must be prepared to deliver detailed, defensible reports that inform personnel decisions without compromising privacy or due process. This opportunity is open to vendors capable of scaling services to meet potential demand across various defense-related roles and must be submitted through the specified SAM.gov portal before the stated deadline.
