Independent Mediator – EEO and EAS Dispute Resolution

The contract seeks independent mediators to handle EEO discrimination complaints and EAS disciplinary appeals for the Postal Service using transformative and facilitative mediation techniques, with all services delivered remotely on a case-by-case basis. Mediators will be engaged as needed to facilitate dispute resolution without requiring on-site presence, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for participants across the organization. The focus is on constructive dialogue and empowerment of parties to reach mutually acceptable outcomes rather than adversarial proceedings. The opportunity is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541612, associated with the Supplies Material Management division of the Postal Service. Proposals must be submitted by June 1, 2026, and the place of performance is listed as Tampa, though all work will be conducted remotely. There is no set-aside designation, and the contract is open to qualified independent contractors who can demonstrate expertise in workplace mediation, particularly within federal employment contexts. Participation requires reliability, confidentiality, and proficiency in virtual mediation platforms to support efficient and equitable dispute resolution across the agency’s operations.
