The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO) leads the integration of federal EEO requirements within the agency's workforce, environment, and strategic initiatives. OEEO' s mission includes annually reviewing and assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of PBGC' s overall agency programs pursuant to EEOC Management Directive 715 (MD-715).

PBGC’s OEEO is seeking to reach parity in specific gender, cultural, racial and disability groups that are currently underrepresented multiple areas and leadership positions within the agency.

1. Purpose

The OEEO's Affirmative Employment Program (AEP) is seeking contractor support services to discover and communicate findings in a “Barrier and Trend Analysis Report” to determine whether management or personnel policy, procedures, and practices have operated to disadvantage any group based on race, national origin, gender, or disability. In addition to the discovery and communication of findings, the results of the “Barrier and Trend Analysis Report” will recommend  resolution strategies that OEEO’s AEP can implement to resolve and mitigate any policy, procedure or practice that is not in accordance with MD-715.
