About this opportunity
The U.S. AbilityOne Commission is issuing a Request for Information on product-origin and supply-chain intelligence services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026; this is a total small-business set-aside market research initiative, not a solicitation or commitment to award. The Commission seeks established commercial services capable of identifying external manufacturer, supplier, foreign-sourcing, and import information, then correlating that evidence to specific AbilityOne products to augment existing Program data beyond routine internal processes.
The pilot is bounded to external-intelligence and risk-identification only, excluding final country-of-origin determinations, population-wide determinations, direct supplier verification, site visits, and general compliance assessments. Core capability requirements include identifying manufacturers of record, underlying relationships, foreign manufacturers, importers, and shippers; correlating evidence to individual products using available identifiers; comparing external evidence against reported country-of-origin information; assigning confidence levels; and returning findings in machine-readable format.
Minimum performance expectations require 100% of reviewed products receive documented results, 100% of material findings include product-correlation rationale and confidence levels, 100% include source provenance documentation, at least 98% completion of mandatory data fields, 100% milestone compliance, and 100% delivery in agreed machine-readable format. Responses must not exceed 10 pages (excluding cover page and optional commercial literature) and must not contain classified information. Responses will inform requirement development, competition, pricing, performance standards, and acquisition strategy; respondents are not reimbursed for response costs, and participation does not affect eligibility for future separately authorized acquisitions.
Notice text
RFI NOTICE. This RFI is for market research and acquisition planning only. It is not a solicitation, offer, or commitment to award. Responses will inform requirement development, competition, pricing, performance standards, and potential acquisition strategy. Respondents are not reimbursed for response costs.
The U.S. AbilityOne Commission seeks market information on established services that can provide independent product-origin and supply-chain intelligence. The core need is to augment existing Program data by identifying external manufacturer, supplier, foreign-sourcing, and import information and credibly correlating that evidence to specific AbilityOne products.
The contemplated pilot is a bounded external-intelligence and risk-identification exercise. It should produce incremental, decision-relevant information without recreating routine Commission, CNA, or NPA processes and without substituting for final Government legal or compliance determinations.
