DOL is exploring commercially available digital workforce identity and compliance platforms that can provide secure, verifiable data to improve labor market transparency and identify indicators of potential fraud.

Specifically, DOL seeks solutions offering trusted identity verification and work authorization status for workers, portable digital credentials (e.g., certifications, training and licensing records) that workers can share with employers or regulators, and electronic records of key compliance activities (such as wage payments, safety training completion, housing and transportation inspections, and worksite assignments) to support employers in meeting labor standards. The ideal platform will generate audit-ready logs and reports of employment and compliance data, use data analytics to flag potential fraud, document inconsistencies, or unlawful labor practices, and support greater transparency in the workforce (for example, by confirming that workers are deployed as authorized and that required conditions are being upheld). Importantly, any solution must incorporate privacy and security by design, obtain appropriate consent for personal data use, and complement existing legal employment verification and worker protection processes.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 513210 (Software Publishers).

DOL intends to host an Industry Day to provide interested vendors with an opportunity to demonstrate their relevant capabilities.

• Tentative Date: September 24 – 25, 2026
• Location: Virtual
• Format: Presentation and demo via MS Teams

DOL may request vendors to demonstrate one or more of the following conditions within their solution:

A. Worker Identity

• How a worker establishes and maintains a trusted digital identity and how an authorized employer or Government user verifies the identity.

B. Digital Credentials

• How a worker receives, maintains, and securely shares a digital certification or safety-training credential and how an authorized party validates the credential.

C. Compliance

• How employment and compliance information, such as wage payments, training completion, worksite assignments, or inspection records, is collected and maintained.

D. Fraud Detection

• How the platform identifies an inconsistency or anomalous pattern across multiple records and generates an alert or risk indicator for further human review.

E. Investigation and Audit

• How an authorized DOL user examines supporting information, identifies the source of the underlying data, and generates an audit-ready report.

F. Privacy and Security

• How the platform manages consent, user access, data sharing, privacy controls, security controls, and audit logs.

Vendors should be prepared to identify which capabilities demonstrated are currently commercially available, which are configurable, and which would require customization or new development.
