The Federal Retirement Investment Board (FRTIB or Agency) is an independent Federal government agency in the Executive Branch created by the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 (FERSA). The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings and investment plan for Federal civilian employees and members of the uniformed services that offers its participants the same type of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under I.R.C.§401(k) plans. The TSP is the largest participant-directed defined contribution plan in the world. The mission of the FRTIB is to administer the TSP solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries.
The FRTIB is a self-funded agency with independent budgetary authority that receives no annual appropriations from Congress. FRTIB has adopted the FAR as its primary contracting policy and procedures for procuring its goods and services, with defined deviations tailored to the FRTIB's unique role.
