According to the notice issued on SAM.gov Tuesday, the OPM will host an industry engagement event on July 9 to 10 to gather information and insights on potential options and benefits of establishing a government-wide human resources IT, or HRIT, suite of capabilities. The event aims to address issues with the current decentralized HR system.
The agencies are particularly interested in offerings focused on position management, personnel action, records processing, workforce analytics, and employee and manager self-service capabilities.

HRIT is an HR management system intended to serve approximately three million federal civilian personnel across 438 agencies and sub-agencies, including the 15 cabinet departments. The new system aims to achieve several strategic objectives, including aligning policies to drive accountability, reducing duplicative HR technologies, optimizing processes and eliminating overlapping systems. The system will also focus on modernization for enhanced experience and interoperability for seamless data sharing and integration with payment and government systems. The agencies plan to implement the centrally managed HR system at the end of 2028.
