Interested vendors are required to respond by addressing specific questions in the attached SOW, providing a Capabilities Statement, and submitting estimated pricing for market research purposes. Companies are cautioned to mark any proprietary information and are informed that participation in this RFI does not preclude them from responding to future RFQs/RFPs.

The document emphasizes that responses will not be reimbursed and its contents are subject to change.
The Department of Labor (DOL) is seeking information on government-oriented email subscription services for its extensive communication efforts. The DOL's Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has noted the necessity for a high-capacity, cost-effective solution due to the large volume of emails sent in 2023. The requested email subscription service must meet federal requirements and integrate with existing CRM systems. Key service capabilities include mass notifications, automated campaigns, user engagement features, and reporting functionalities.
The DOL emphasizes the need for a provider experienced in federal standards, particularly FedRAMP and FISMA compliance. They also require support for migrating from the current system, including integration assistance, training, and post-launch support. Vendors are asked to address a series of questions related to service tiers, customization of subscription topics, reporting options, training, and adherence to federal regulations.
This RFI aims to enhance DOL's email communication efficiency, ensuring effective outreach while adhering to compliance and performance standards in a cloud-hosted environment, ultimately seeking to streamline the department's interactions with the public.
