Employees Compensation Appeals Board

The Department of Labor Employees Compensation Appeals Board is a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Labor that adjudicates disputes over federal employee workers' compensation claims under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. The Board contracts for specialized services in support of its quasi-judicial and administrative functions.

Federal contract activity at the Board is minimal and episodic. The agency has issued 18 contract awards since 2004, with combined potential value of $428 thousand — all dollars obligated. Recent activity is sparse: one award in 2014, three in 2015, one in 2019, one in 2020, and one in 2025. The most recent award was recorded in August 2025. Across the portfolio history, 11 distinct prime contractors have been awarded.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP holds the sole recent award (August 2025, $5 thousand potential value), representing 100 percent of awards over the last five years but only 1 percent of combined potential value — a clear signal that individual contract actions are small and dispersed. The long tail of single-award vendors dominates by count and dollar value.

All 18 awards carry no set-aside designation. The Board's contract footprint does not reflect activity through small-business preferences, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, or other set-aside mechanisms.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Department of Labor Employees Compensation Appeals Board or its subordinate offices in the source data. The Board's low transaction volume and episodic award pattern suggest contract activity does not follow a predictable or published solicitation calendar; opportunities, when they arise, may be issued on a limited or non-competitive basis given the agency's specialized administrative mission.
