Background This is a Request for Information (RFI) to gather information about market capabilities in the area of strategic workforce planning. We are seeking information to determine market capabilities regarding workforce planning methodologies and experience developing and implementing workforce planning initiatives across a mission-based organization with multiple lines of businesses (LOBs) and offices. This effort is to benchmark industry approaches to strategic workforce planning in support of a senior leadership initiative. The effort is to execute a scalable workforce planning methodology across multiple lines of business and offices within the FAA. The FAA has a workforce of approximately 46,000 employees across 5 LOBs and 9 offices. Vendors should provide insight and examples of how their methodology and analytic tools can be applied in program offices with unique mission and workforce requirements. Vendors should include past performance / experiences in similar mission-based organizations with a diverse group of lines of business and offices. Scope The application of a core approach to workforce planning across multiple LOBs is critical to the success of this initiative. As part of this Market Survey/RFI, vendors should describe their methodology for strategic workforce planning and how that methodology can be applied and adapted by multiple program offices as well as how the methodology can be integrated into existing resource management processes. Once a methodology and approach has been identified, the FAA intends to execute that approach within one of its office components as a Pilot before implementing the methodology across the agency. 4.
