odepThe US Dept. of Labor, mulling an RFP, is gauging interest in a wide-ranging PR contract to support the Office of Disability and Employment Policy.

The strategic communications assignment will focus on the agency charged to develop and influence policies that help people with disabilities get work. Stakeholders include individuals with disabilities, private and public sector employers, advocates and providers of services to individuals with disabilities.

The Labor Dept. stresses that it is only asking for information from firms ahead of a potential RFP, but there is no guarantee a solicitation will be issued. However, the ODEP said it needs a contract in place by August 2016. The resulting contract would be a so-called IDIQ contract, which the federal government often uses to establish a small group of firms which bid on or are assigned projects as they arise.
