Request for Information (RFI) 

House of Representatives Ad-Hoc Staffing Support 

This is NOT a solicitation for a proposal, proposal abstract, or quote. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain information regarding industry capabilities, approaches, and potential solutions to provide supplemental personnel support during high-volume request periods to meet the needs of Members within their districts. Responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential future solicitation. 

Background 

The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the U.S. House of Representatives (the House) provides administrative and technical support to Members, Committees, Leadership, and House Officers and offices. The CAO organization consists of more than 700 employees across multiple departments, including Acquisitions, Customer Experience Center, Finance, Logistics, Human Resources, House Information Resources, Risk Management, and the Immediate Office. The House of Representatives employs approximately 10,000 staff. 

The mission of the Customer Experience Center (CEC) is to ensure exceptional customer experiences through each CAO service delivered to the House community. The CEC serves an important role in connecting CAO technical, administrative, and operational experts with their customers. The CEC provides direct services to House offices through its six departments: Communications & Marketing, Congressional Staff Academy, CAO Advocates, Customer Experience Management, First Call, and House Creative Services.  

House Creative Services provides support to Members of Congress, committees, and leadership on their communication efforts related to official and representational topics. This includes official photography, graphic design, multimedia design, printing, video, and motion graphics. Services are provided on a per-request basis, often on short notice, with rapid turnaround expected.
