Fitness for Duty / Independent Medical Examinations

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a component of the Department of Homeland Security, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing Fitness for Duty and Independent Medical Examinations services. This Pre-Solicitation Notice is a Request for Information (RFI) designed to gather information about vendor capabilities, business size classifications, and federal supply schedule availability to support the development of an appropriate acquisition strategy. Contractors must be capable of delivering medical and psychological examinations consistent with TSA medical guidelines, including comprehensive assessment of employee history, past medical treatment records, current mental and physical status, and determination of medical qualification or suitability for positions. The evaluation criteria for potential future solicitation will include vendor capabilities for nationwide coverage, experience delivering fitness for duty independent medical examinations, recommended labor categories with minimum qualifications, and preferred firm-fixed pricing on a per-examination unit price basis. Interested vendors must submit their responses using the provided Q&A template by February 10, 2026, with answers limited to seven pages total, including a maximum two-page capabilities statement.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this market research effort. The RFI does not commit the government to any award, does not provide compensation for response development, and no incumbent contractor or current award value is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The contractor shall provide fixed-price per-examination services encompassing medical record review, scheduling, nursing support, physician or psychologist examination, and comprehensive reporting across specialty areas including Orthopedics, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Psychology, General Psychiatry, and Functional Capacity Evaluations. The NAICS code identified is 621111 (Offices of Physicians except Mental Health Specialists), and the procurement services category is Q201 (Medical—Managed Healthcare). Based on the draft Statement of Work, the contractor must maintain scheduling flexibility and coordinate with the government on final reports, with the understanding that permanent medical records will be retained by TSA while contractor copies may be deleted three months after delivery.
