The Social Security Administration is seeking information on mail-metering equipment through a Request for Information (RFI) process. This procurement falls under the Miscellaneous Office Machines category (PSC 7490) and relates to business support services. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses by April 28, 2026, providing the agency with insights into available solutions, vendor capabilities, and market offerings for mail-metering equipment. The RFI process will allow SSA to gather comprehensive information that will inform the development of future formal solicitation documents and evaluation criteria. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 21, 2026, giving potential vendors one week to prepare and submit their responses. The information collected through this RFI will help establish baseline requirements and technical specifications for subsequent procurement actions.

This RFI is issued without any set-aside designation, meaning all eligible contractors may participate regardless of small business status or other socioeconomic classifications. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers, nor does it disclose specific award values or budget ranges at this stage. As this is an information-gathering phase rather than a formal solicitation, vendors should not expect immediate contract awards or detailed procurement timelines. The RFI serves as a market research tool to better understand available mail-metering solutions and will likely precede a formal Request for Proposal or Request for Quotation. Interested vendors should monitor the Federal Procurement Data System and agency communications for subsequent solicitation announcements based on the findings from this RFI process.
