- DRAFT Statement of Objectives (SOO) This is a sources sought notice for written information only. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice or reimburse the costs incurred by potential offerors in providing the information requested herein. In preparation for an upcoming procurement, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Policy, Training, and Oversight Division (PTOD) is conducting market research to determine potential sources for support services to effectively carry out the EPA's Acquisition Workforce Development Strategic Plan (AWDSP), using FAR Part 13 - Simplified Acquisition Procedures. On March 4, 2009 the President issued a memo on Government Contracting which identified acquisition workforce development as a pillar for strengthened agency acquisition practices and improved government performance. Stemming from the memo, on October 27, 2009, Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) issued a follow-up memo requiring civilian agencies to submit an Acquisition Workforce Development Strategic Plan implementing the President's initiative. The final plan was due to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on March 31, 2010. Annual updates will be required thereafter. Under the proposed contract, the contractor shall provide services within the following task areas: 1) Review EPA's AWDSP; 2) Closing skill gaps of the acquisition workforce; 3) Develop an acquisition workforce capacity development plan; 4) Recruitment and retention; 5) Acquisition workforce database development; and 6) Identification, development and/or delivery of training. Detailed information regarding this requirement is provided via a draft copy of the Statement of Work (SOW), attached to this notice. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541611. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL OR COST PROPOSALS. This is a request for interested potential offerors to submit a brief capability statement demonstrating how they plan to meet the above-mentioned requirement. Submissions shall be limited to a total of two pages. Standard brochures will not be considered a sufficient response to this notice and will not be considered. Submitted capability statements should include the following: (1) Name of vendor; (2) Contact information (address, telephone, facsimile, e-mail); (3) Technical description of capabilities in meeting the requirement; (4) Experience in providing services of similar scope and nature; and (5) Business size and classification (small, large, small-disadvantaged, certified 8(a), HUBZone, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran, Native American, etc.) Businesses should submit an electronic copy of the requested information and all questions to Contracting Officer, Nicole Humphrey, at humphrey.nicole@epa.gov, no later than June 17, 2000 by 11:00 AM, Eastern Time. The method of competition will be determined once all responses to this notice have been evaluated. Feedback will not be provided regarding individual capabilities statements submitted in response to this notice.
