- THIS PROCUREMENT IS BEING SOLICITED AS A TOTAL 8(A) SET-ASIDE. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be soliciting proposals for electronic information dissemination and library support services to AHRQ. This contract will provide on-site contractor staff for the AHRQ Web site and information Resources Center (IRC) to respond to the electronic information needs, including IRC research support and Web services for the Agency and to provide experienced and qualified personnel to perform IRC and Web-related administrative, technical, information management, and Web Content Management System-related and Coding support services. The IRC is a full-service library--both a physical library and a virtual library that emphasizes access to electronic resources--with increasing demands for information services on a walk-in, phone, or e-mail basis. The IRC provides library services to AHRQ as a whole while providing targeted research support to Offices and Centers, program staff, and the public. The key functions of the IRC are to administer day-to-day activities of the IRC; manage information, reference, and research services; and provide training, evaluation, and support services in both the physical and virtual environment.

The AHRQ Web site enhances and builds upon the Office of Communication and Knowledge Transfer's (OCKT) mandate to provide dissemination and research translation functions to AHRQ using a variety of venues. The Contractor shall coordinate their activities with other components of AHRQ, other Federal Agencies, and HHS. The Contractor shall ensure that products and tools are generically accessible to users and provides the support required to maintain and enhance on-line information access for the AHRQ Web site, other third-level domain Web sites supported by AHRQ, Web-based tools and services (including support for the Virtual Library), related electronic products from Agency programs, and HHS and other inter-agency and partnership portal projects. The Contractor shall be responsible for coding, updating, and loading approximately 8,000 new and replacement files per year (80 percent new files, and 20 percent replacement). In addition, they will provide support for numerous other activities that impact on provision of electronic information services to the Agency's internal and external clients. Key functions for the Web Services include maintaining the AHRQ Web site, including Web page design, coding, and loading files to the site, Web Content Management System, and template development; providing multimedia services; administering and providing information management services; and supporting AHRQ IT infrastructure.
