- Description
- This is a pre-solicitation notice only for a small business set-aside for RFP 277-14-0443A. This notice is a re-issue for RFP 277-14-0443. The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) contemplates awarding a one year cost reimbursement contract with four option years. 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. This is not request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The estimated period of performance for this contract is a base period of twelve (12) months, plus four (4) 12 month option periods. The estimated date for issuance of this RFP is May 27, 2014 with proposal responses due June 27, 2014. The solicitation may be obtained in one of three ways: by mail, picked up in person at 1 Choke Cherry Road, Room 7-1051, Rockville, MD 20850, or electronically by downloading a file from FedBizOpps. Files will not be made available on FedBizOpps until on or after the estimated issuance date. Once downloaded, you should determine if you have a continuing interest in the RFP. If so, you must do one of the following: write the individual identified above and request that a copy of the amendments (if any) to the RFP be sent to you by mail, pick up a copy of the solicitation in person at the above address, or check FedBizOpps regularly. You may choose one of the three methods for obtaining the RFP and amendments. Note, however, that if you rely on the Web for obtaining the RFP and amendments, at this time we have no way to assure, and will therefore assume no responsibility for assuring, that you have downloaded these documents. All RFP requests must cite the RFP Number.
