Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Request for Information (RFI)

The National Science Foundation Division of Acquisition and Cooperative Support is seeking vendor capabilities to administer a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program through a Request for Information (RFI). The procurement is intended to support approximately 1,300 NSF employees with program administration services that ensure regulatory compliance, responsive customer service, and user-friendly tools for enrollment, claims processing, and account management. Vendors are required to address seven specific evaluation questions within a two single-spaced page response limit, including information on established best practices, proposal preparation requirements, evaluation criteria beyond price, common challenges in FSA administration for federal organizations, factors influencing proposal submission, and availability through existing contract vehicles such as GSA Schedules or Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts. The RFI responses were due on March 20, 2026, and vendors must provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and business size classification as part of their submission.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside for small businesses or other protected groups. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractor information has been provided. The RFI is explicitly stated as market research intended to inform NSF's development of a future formal solicitation and does not constitute a commitment to procure services or guarantee that binding proposals will be requested. Given that the due date has already passed as of today's date, this RFI is now closed, and interested contractors should monitor SAM and NSF's procurement channels for the anticipated full solicitation announcement.
