1. Purpose of the RFI This Request for Information (RFI) is for market research and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP).

View moreAcknowledgement of receipt of responses will not be made, nor will respondents be notified of the outcome of the FRA's review of the information received. Additionally, the FRA does not intend to hold discussions concerning this RFI with any interested parties. However, FRA reserves the right to contact vendors if additional information is required.
2. Description of Requirement
FRA is committed to maintaining an inclusive and productive workforce. The Reasonable Accommodations (RA) Program Manager serves as the primary facilitator for employees and applicants who require workplace modifications due to medical conditions. The mission is to ensure that every individual has the necessary tools and environment to perform essential job functions safely and effectively.
To fulfill this mission, the RA Program Manager must translate complex clinical information into practical, workplace-relevant decisions. However, a significant gap exists when medical documentation is specialized, insufficient, or contradictory. FRA currently lacks the internal clinical expertise to objectively validate these complex medical impairments or to define the specific functional limitations they impose.
Without this expertise, the agency faces a bottleneck in its 25-business-day statutory window for accommodation decisions. This delay creates operational uncertainty for management and delays critical support for employees.
