- Description
- Updates: April 2, 2013 - FBO Announcement updated to show a response date. April 1, 2013 - RFP Package uploaded to FBO. == The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) contemplates awarding one (1) Labor-Hour contract for one base year and four option years. This will be a competitive procurement set-aside for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) under NAICS Code 541611 (Size Standard: $14 million). This acquisition is subject to the availability of funds. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) requires the professional services of one full-time individual or two part-time individuals who have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience to continue the operation of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) Workplace Helpline for a contract period of one year with four optional years. The one full-time individual or two part-time individuals will work a maximum total of 40 hours per week. It is estimated that an average of 8 to 10 inquiries are received per day. The Helpline individuals will normally operate the Helpline Monday through Friday (except for Federal holidays). In 1986, Presidential Executive Order 12564 required that each Federal Executive branch agency develop and implement programs to address drug abuse in their workplaces with a comprehensive program that would include a written policy, access to employee assistance program services, employee education, supervisor training, and drug testing. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was required to oversee the development of the Federal-wide program and help agencies with implementation efforts. In addition, HHS was required to establish and operate a toll-free telephone service for business and industry that would answer questions about drug abuse in the workplace. The toll-free telephone service, which is the subject of this requirement was initiated in 1987 and has continued uninterrupted since. Under the Reorganization of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration on October 1, 1992, the administrative responsibility for managing this telephone consulting service was transferred to the CSAP/SAMHSA. In light of CSAP's prevention mission, the Workplace Helpline began to consult on alcohol issues and problems as well as drugs of abuse. Additionally, the Workplace Helpline expanded its scope of coverage to include any community-based program whose mission is to reduce or eliminate the problems of alcohol and drugs of abuse in its community workplace. The Workplace Helpline responds to a critical need on the part of its largest constituent-small businesses. As has been the case since its inception, the Workplace Helpline receives most of its requests for assistance from small business owners (i.e., employee populations of 250 or less) who represent the vast majority of enterprise in the American economy. Small businesses also represents the segment least informed and least involved in addressing workplace alcohol and drug abuse problems. The Workplace Helpline also answers a significant number of calls by individuals inquiring about workplace drug testing and substance abuse prevention and treatment issues regarding prescription drugs, illicit drugs, and alcohol use. The service is available to all 50 States and territories of the United States and has assisted employers from other countries. The estimated date for issuance of the RFP is March 19, 2013 with proposal responses due April 19, 2013. The solicitation may be obtained in any of three ways: by mail; picked up in person at 1 Choke Cherry Road, Room 7-1067, Rockville, MD 20857; or FedBizOpps. If you have a continuing interest in the RFP, notify the individuals identified below that you wish copies of amendments to the RFP (if any) sent to you. Requests for copies of the RFP must be made in writing. Requests will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until the supply is exhausted; however, there is no assurance that copies requested after the twentieth day will reach the requestor before the due date for receipt of responses. Requests shall be forwarded to the attention of Blenda Perez, Procurement Analyst/PCO, Division of Contracts Management, OFR, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, DHHS, 1 Choke Cherry Road, Room 7-1067, Rockville MD 20857. Requests may be sent via fax to (240) 276-1510. Electronic mail and telephone requests will not be honored.
