OPM revises its records system for the Annual Employee Survey

OPM’s notice revises its records system for the Annual Employee Survey (AES), rather than announcing a procurement opportunity. - Government organization: U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), including the OPM/Central-21 system of records; the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will receive de-identified data for governmentwide analysis. - Change: Renames the system from “Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey” to “Annual Employee Survey” as executive agencies administer surveys to their own employees. - Records covered: Identifiable records OPM maintains for its own AES administration and retained records from earlier FEVS administrations. Identifiable AES records maintained by other agencies are excluded. - Platform named: TTEC Humanify Enterprise-G, identified as FedRAMP certified. No platform purchase or other products or services are requested. - Notable updates: The notice revises the system’s purposes, covered individuals and records, data sources, safeguards, retention, and access procedures.

Description

The Office of Personnel Management proposes to modify and republish the system of records previously titled “OPM/Central-21, Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey,” renaming it “OPM/Central-21, Annual Employee Survey.” The change reflects the replacement of OPM’s centrally administered Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey with an Annual Employee Survey administered by executive agencies to their own employees. OPM/Central-21 will cover identifiable records OPM maintains for its own AES administration and retained records from prior FEVS administrations; it will not cover identifiable AES records maintained by other agencies. Comments are due December 9, 2026, and the changes are effective December 10, 2026.
