What is this for?

I have scoured the internet and cannot for the life my find out what this part is actually for. More specifically the what appear to be attachment points. I’m thinking of removing this and making a hidden winch mount for my 2017 f250.
Thannks in advance!

Yes, the picture was for reference mine is complete and there is nothing attached to the tabs/slots but didn’t know if there was something that was offered by Ford to go in that location.
