How to bid on the FY2026 Broad Agency Announcement for USPS OIG services
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General (USPS OIG) is seeking proposals for professional, consultant, and support services. This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), which means the OIG is looking for innovative ideas and solutions from interested parties.
This opportunity is significant because it is not governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which can simplify the bidding process for some vendors. The OIG reserves the right to award contracts based on the proposals received, or to make no awards.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Broad Agency Announcement was published on June 25, 2026. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, meaning you can submit your proposal at any time until the final deadline.
The solicitation period ends on September 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. Proposals received by this deadline will be considered. Contracts may be awarded throughout the solicitation period.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms that can provide professional, consultant, and support services. If your company specializes in these areas, particularly in an oversight or investigative context, this could be a good fit.
Vendors who have previously submitted proposals for prior year BAAs and whose proposals are still under evaluation or deemed acceptable do not need to reapply for the same position.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Since this is a Broad Agency Announcement, focus on clearly articulating the innovative aspects of your proposed services and how they align with the OIG's needs. Provide specific examples of your capabilities and past performance relevant to professional, consultant, and support services.
Carefully review all attached solicitation documents. Even though this is not a FAR-governed opportunity, understanding all instructions and requirements is crucial. Ensure your proposal is complete and addresses all points mentioned in the BAA. If your contract is worth $150,000 or more, be aware of compliance requirements for the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1972.
