About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document responding to vendor inquiries regarding RFQ 1605C3-26-R-00011 for benchmark data services. The Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) issued Amendment 1 to extend the RFQ due date from September 3, 2026 to September 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET. Five vendor questions were addressed covering critical contract terms and conditions.
Key clarifications provided include: contractors will retain ownership rights to data with OWCP receiving a license for internal federal employee use only; the selected contractor's standard data licensing terms will be reviewed by DOL's Office of the Solicitor for inclusion in the contract, including third-party licensing agreements for CPT content (American Medical Association) and CDT content (American Dental Association); FAR Clause 52.212-4 without alternates applies to the fixed-fee agreement rather than time-and-materials terms; all required support for data questions and histograms must be included in the firm fixed price with no separate hourly rate caps permitted; and both private and public sector past performance information is acceptable for evaluation purposes.
