A. General Information

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is soliciting individuals with the right skill sets and interested in investing numerous hours per week to write Final Agency Decisions (FADs) in accordance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulations and USPS quality and timeliness standards. Selected individuals will be independent contractors, located throughout the United States, who will enter into Ordering Agreements with the USPS to provide FAD writing services in accordance with the Terms and Conditions* set forth in the Ordering Agreement. Individual Task Orders assigning the writing of particular FADs will be issued under the Ordering Agreement in a "fee for service" arrangement. There is no guarantee of work, or the number of cases assigned.
An ordering agreement is not itself a contract. It is a written agreement negotiated between the Postal Service and a supplier that contains terms and conditions applying to future contracts (i.e., task orders) between the parties. The contracts are established when task orders are issued and accepted by the parties.
A FAD writer is paid on a “per case” basis per the following Fee Schedule: Fee per FAD
Fee per Consolidated FAD
Fee per incentive for expedited FAD
**with approval from EEO Management

$500.00
$600.00
$100.00**

FAD writer performance will be evaluated by USPS NEEOISO management based on quality, writing style and timeliness. Depending on workload and case complexity, FAD writers may average from 8 to 10 cases per month. Note: The information regarding average number of cases assigned to FAD writers is provided to offerors for workload estimation purposes only and does not provide any guarantee that an awardee will be assigned the same number, a similar number, or any number of cases.
* Full Terms & Conditions will be provided to the selected applicants for their review and
