Product-Origin and Supply-Chain Intelligence Pilot

The U.S. AbilityOne Commission is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify established services capable of providing independent product-origin and supply-chain intelligence. The objective is to launch a bounded pilot project that augments existing program data by identifying external manufacturers, suppliers, and import information to correlate with specific AbilityOne products. This effort aims to produce evidence-supported risk indicators and identify inconsistencies in reported country-of-origin information, though it specifically excludes final legal determinations, site visits, or direct supplier verification. This opportunity is designated as a total Small Business Set Aside and is intended for acquisition planning rather than an immediate award. The Commission requires high quality standards for the pilot, including a 90 percent first-pass acceptance rate, 100 percent evidence traceability for material risk indicators, and the delivery of all findings in a machine-readable format. Interested respondents must provide details on their capabilities, analytical methods, confidence level documentation, and rough order of magnitude pricing. Responses are limited to 10 pages and must be submitted by October 23, 2026.
