The United States Postal Service (USPS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeking professional, consulting, and support services. This rolling submission BAA, effective until September 2024, aims to create a pool of pre-qualified contractors for various OIG roles. Among the positions available are Contract Fraud Analysts (CFA) and Workers Compensation Surveillance Specialists (WCSS).
CFAs are required to provide investigative support related to contract and procurement fraud, including data analysis and witness interviews, with potential travel requirements. WCSSs will assist in investigating worker's compensation fraud, conducting surveillance, and interviewing witnesses, primarily related to postal employee claims. Both roles have maximum hourly rates and are subject to security clearances. The OIG reserves the right to award contracts based on best value, with evaluations focused on experience and skills. Contractors may be engaged for up to five years. Submissions must include candidate resumes and cover letters, addressing the evaluation criteria.
