# OPM Recruits Federal Technology Talent

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud are recruiting a new cohort for the two-year US Tech Force program, with placements across multiple federal agencies. The roles are intended to support fraud detection and reduce reliance on foreign technology. The announcement gives an October 23 closing date but does not specify the year. This is a federal hiring initiative, not a contract solicitation, so it signals technology workforce needs rather than an immediate procurement opportunity.

- Procurement teams should distinguish these federal hires from contractor requirements; the signal does not identify a solicitation, contract value, or award.
- The program’s focus on fraud detection and technology independence may help contractors understand agency priorities when shaping relevant technology offerings, but no specific product or acquisition is announced.
- The listed agencies include GSA, SSA, and HHS, indicating placements may span organizations with differing missions and technology needs.
- The announcement’s year is unspecified; interested applicants should confirm the applicable closing date in the original posting before relying on October 23.
