Technical Support ServicesThe U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to evaluate industry capabilities for providing technical support services related to its national programs. The RFI seeks input on potential contractor capabilities to support a broad range of activities including rulemaking and guidance development, economic and burden analyses, literature searches, compliance assistance, enforcement support, and program management. The scope is designed to assist OSHA’s National Office in executing critical mission objectives, with future work likely to be executed through task orders under a potential contract. Respondents are encouraged to describe their organizational structure, past performance, labor categories and estimated rates, and any teaming arrangements, especially those involving small businesses such as 8(a), woman-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned firms. All information submitted is voluntary and not part of a solicitation or binding procurement process. Responses must be submitted by August 7, 2026, via email to the designated point of contact and must adhere to a ten-page limit in Word format with specific formatting requirements. Respondents are required to include a cover letter with company details, DUNS number, business size, GSA schedule status if applicable, and contact information, followed by detailed answers to all questionnaire items. Pricing, if provided, must be a rough order of magnitude and used only for planning purposes—no reimbursement will be provided for response preparation costs. The Government will not acknowledge receipt or provide feedback on submissions, and no contract award will result directly from this RFI. Responses may inform future acquisition decisions, including whether to set aside the solicitation for small businesses or pursue full and open competition. Interested firms must be registered in SAM.gov to be eligible for future contracts. All submissions become government property and may be used to refine performance work statements and estimate potential costs and risks for an upcoming procurement.
