FEHB Protection Act

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is seeking automated verification solutions to implement the FEHB Protection Act of 2025 for auditing family member eligibility across the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, which serves approximately 8.3 million people. The procurement seeks vendors capable of conducting large-scale automated dependent verification audits for employees and annuitants using artificial intelligence, document recognition, and real-time or batch data matching technologies. Key requirements include integration with federal data sources such as the Social Security Administration and Internal Revenue Service, web portal development with document upload capabilities, Identity and Access Management system integration at Identity Assurance Level 2, and mandatory U.S.-based workforce and server infrastructure. OPM is exploring three potential procurement approaches: engagement of a single end-to-end vendor, procurement of modular verification components, or development of a centralized OPM-managed platform with vendor-provided automated verification capabilities. Vendors must submit responses by December 15, 2025, in PDF format not exceeding 15 pages, addressing company profile, audit methodology, technical capabilities, data sources, implementation approach, and pricing considerations. The evaluation criteria emphasize vendor capabilities in automation, data integration, document processing, case management, member support, and compliance with federal security and privacy standards.

No set-aside designation applies to this procurement opportunity, and no current incumbent contractor is identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The specific contract award value and budget range have not been disclosed in the available documentation. The solution must accommodate continuous verification processes and support reconsideration requests or appeals workflows, though the exact timeline for implementation and service delivery periods has not been specified. Vendors should anticipate that the solution will need to scale across multiple populations and integrate seamlessly with OPM systems for recording successful verifications and transmitting terminations to health insurance carriers and employing offices. The RFI response deadline of December 15, 2025, represents the initial opportunity for vendors to demonstrate relevant capabilities and positioning for potential follow-on solicitation activities.
