- Initial postings of the documentation for this requirement contained conflicting proposal due dates in error. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this confusion. The correct due date for receipt of proposals is January 18, 2005, 3:00 pm, local time. This is a combined Synopsis/Solicitation, Request for Proposals (RFP) Number TIRNO-05-R-00007, for commercial items (succession planning services), prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice (the text of FAR paragraphs referenced herein may be found at www.arnet.gov/far) . This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 01-25. The Statement of Objectives for this requirement and template for the required small business subcontracting plan are posted at the IRS Public User Portal at www.irs.gov/opportunities/procurement. From that web page, select “Procurement Business Opportunities” to locate the solicitation documentation. The provisions at FAR 52.212-1, "Instructions to Offerors-Commercial," apply to this acquisition. This is a full and open competition. The NAICS code is 541612 and the small business size standard is $6 million average annual receipts for the past 3 years The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires contractor services to evaluate and assess its executive resources. As an initial task to accomplish this, the vendor shall conduct a comprehensive assessment of senior executive potential, strengths, and developmental needs in order to determine baseline bench strength and existing competency gaps within the leadership cadre. Based on this assessment, and in consultation with the IRS, the vendor shall develop a unified cross-divisional strategy and supporting action plans for Succession Planning for key leadership positions. The plan will link to and support the IRS Strategic Plan and assist us in achieving our long term goals and desired future state. The vendor shall identify relevant current activities and best practices in the industry, as well as suggest other methods to enable the IRS to maximize the opportunity to leverage our top leadership resources and plan for succession to these positions in the most optimal manner. The award date for the contract is projected to be late February, 2005 and the term of the contract will be 1 base year with 4 1-year option periods. Individual Task Orders will be issued as needs arise. The initial Task Order will be issued at the time of contract award. All interested offerors are invited to submit proposals for consideration and award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract. For each task assignment, a statement of objectives (SOO) will be provided and individual task order proposals shall be submitted in accordance with the terms agreed to in the base contract. Government personnel authorized to place task orders under the contract will be identified on the contract by name and telephone number. FAR paragraphs 52.212-1 “Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items”, 52.212-2, "Evaluation-Commercial Items," and 52.212-4, "Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items," apply to this solicitation. Evaluation criteria to be used to determine the successful proposal will be the offeror’s experience, technical approach, past performance, and price. Experience, technical approach and past performance, when combined are considered more important than price. Evaluations will be conducted in two phases. Those offerors submitting proposals rated most highly in Phase 1 will be invited to present Oral Presentations as Phase 2 of the evaluation process. The same evaluation factors will apply to both phases of the overall evaluation.
