We have simplified the process for completing and submitting an EN contract proposal. You should review the Request for Proposal (RFP) package (MSWord format) that explains the duties of an EN contractor, requirements that must be met to be awarded an EN contract, and directions for submitting an EN contract proposal.

To submit a proposal, follow the steps below:

• Read carefully the information and instructions found in Parts II, III, IV, and V of the RFP package.
• Complete all of the sections found in Part III, EN Proposal Documentation Requirements.
• Submit the original Part III in its entirety, complete with all required forms (signed and dated) and proofs of qualifications and liability insurance coverage to: Social Security Administration; Employment Network Proposals; Attn: Employment Network Contracts Team; P.O. Box 17778; Baltimore, MD 21235-17778

In lieu of submitting a hardcopy proposal, offerors may submit their proposals electronically to ENcontracts@ssa.gov. DO NOT submit the entire RFP package.

SSA staff is available to answer any questions you may have about becoming an EN contractor and submitting a contract proposal. Training is available on how to make the program work for you. Please direct your questions to the Employment Networks Contract Team as follows:

As SSA continues to release Tickets based on new additions to the disability rolls and/or Ticket eligibility, this solicitation will remain open continuously until further notice. However, we strongly encourage offerors to submit their proposals as soon as possible.

Legal Disclaimer: The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program is the centerpiece of the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. This program provides Social Security beneficiaries with disabilities more choices for receiving employment services. Under this program the SSA is issuing Tickets to eligible beneficiaries who, in turn, may assign those Tickets to an EN of their choice to obtain employment services, vocational rehabilitation services or other support services necessary to achieve a vocational goal. The EN will assume responsibility for the coordination and delivery of appropriate employment, vocational rehabilitation or other support services to those beneficiaries who have assigned tickets to the EN – and the EN accepts.

In accordance with Section 1148(f) of the Social Security Act, this solicitation is not open to Federal agencies.
