# OPM Discontinues Employee Survey

The signal reports that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has formally discontinued the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), following an earlier delay. It provides no official notice, legal citation, solicitation, contract information, or details about a replacement survey. For procurement professionals, the report therefore indicates no confirmed procurement opportunity or contract change; commenters’ claims about a statutory survey requirement are not substantiated in the signal.

- No vendor, award, solicitation, or contract impact is identified, so the signal does not establish a new buying opportunity or a change to an existing procurement.
- Agencies and contractors should distinguish the reported discontinuation from commenters’ unverified interpretations of the legal requirement; the signal does not establish whether a replacement survey or related procurement is planned.

### Key Quotes
> On the flip side, I’m pretty sure federal statute requires that a federal employee survey is conducted. They “got around” it last year by “delaying” it for some contrived reason, but to completely admit it’s fully deprecated is kind of flagrantly denying the law, unless I’ve misunderstood something (which is definitely possible).
