- Description
- The proposed acquisition listed herein is a competitive 8(a) small business set-aside. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Program Support Center, Division of Acquisition Management intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) on behalf of the Federal Occupational Health (FOH) for Environmental Health Services, as described below. The RFP number is 13-233-SOL-00797. The NAICS code is 541620. FOH provides consultation and support to Federal occupational and environmental health managers throughout the Federal government. FOH defines occupational health (OH) from the Federal government perspective as a comprehensive approach, with a public health perspective, to improving health, safety, and productivity in the federal workforce, while decreasing the Government's liability and health care costs through various clinical, environmental, educational, and risk-based prevention programs. Among its many functions, FOH assists Federal managers in establishing OH services for Federal employees, assessing and monitoring environmental hazards, complying with mandated and voluntary OH and environmental standards, counseling employees at physical or emotional risk from alcohol, drug abuse, stress, or other job-related factors, maintaining a drug-free workplace, and promoting employee wellness and physical fitness. FOH performs its work for other agencies under fully reimbursable interagency agreements issued in accordance with the Economy Act. Agreements are negotiated with departments' and agencies' national headquarters and/or with their regional/local components. Some agreements are for a standard package of OH program components; others are for an array of services and consultations tailored to particular OH or environmental needs. In the aggregate, these agreements provide basic OH services through FOH OH centers for approximately 300,000 Federal employees, and expanded OH programs, including employee counseling, for over 1.3 million employees. Insufficient Federal resources exist to complete work requirements, and acquisition of additional Federal employees is not in the best interest of the government due to the intermittent nature of work requirements. The contractor shall provide the Federal Occupational Health (herein after the "FOH"), a premier provider of occupational safety and environmental health services to Federal agencies throughout the United States and United States Territories, with qualified industrial hygiene, safety, and environmental specialists as required. Services will enable the FOH Division of Environmental Health Services Division (DEHS) to provide consultative assistance to other Federal agencies. The contractor shall consult, plan, implement, evaluate, and certify environmental health/industrial hygiene services for Federal managers and employees. Services will be initiated through Task Orders issued against the contract, which will be an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The contractor is required to provide professional and technical expertise in several environmental health and safety disciplines. Services may involve coordinating with a multidisciplinary team of FOH in-house providers and performers from other contractors. Work must be accomplished in accordance with FOH policies and procedures, and must be of high quality and consistency throughout the United States and United States Territories. The period of performance for this contract is expected to be a base year plus four option years. The purpose of this contract is to the Federal Occupational Health (FOH), a premier provider of occupational safety and environmental health services to Federal agencies throughout the United States and United States Territories, with qualified industrial hygiene, safety, and environmental specialists as required. Services will enable the FOH Division of Environmental Health Services Division (DEHS) to provide consultative assistance to other Federal agencies.

The RFP will be made available electronically at http://www.fedbizopps.gov. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. The closing date will be approximately 30 days after issuance of the RFP.
