- Description
- The U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), Center for Health Care Contracting (CHCC), on behalf of the MEDCOM is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit industry on commercial insight, performance-based solutions, best practices, possible contractual arrangements, and potential issues. In addition, we request that potential offerors interested in this requirement respond to the questions at the end of the RFI and also provide a capability statement as requested below. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. It does not constitute a solicitation and is not to be considered as a commitment by the Government. All firms responding to this Request for Information are advised that their response to this notice is not a request that will be considered for contract award. The intent of this notice is to determine the availability of qualified commercial sources capable of providing an enterprise wide comprehensive self-awareness services and supplies for development of AMEDD personnel. This activity supports attainment of the AMEDD/Office of the Surgeon General's (OTSG) organizational change goals. The Team and Organizational Development Directorate (TODD) was established by the Army Surgeon General (TSG) to complete a comprehensive plan to transform the organizational culture within the U.S. Army MEDCOM. Achievement of planned systemic change requires the ability to scale Organizational Development (OD) professionals, services, supplies, and their activities in support of TSG-directed goals. Currently the US Army MEDCOM/TSG does not have the capability to conduct all of these activities or develop and produce related materials and requires the services of a contract to achieve MEDCOM/TSG change goals. Organizational change and development across the AMEDD enterprise requires personnel at all levels to learn and incorporate individual and group implementation strategies and tools into their work practices beyond only behavior changes. This will develop self-aware personnel to more effectively establish and operate workplace practices. Engaged and self-aware work teams are required to create healthy organizations aligned to strategic goal achievement and solving the most difficult and persistent organizational problems. Achievement of planned systemic change requires the ability to scale, expand, and customize OD activities for all levels and organizations of AMEDD. Upon successful completion of the certified facilitator training, government participants will be certified as Facilitators and receive a license from the contractor. Designation as a certified facilitator will allow government personnel to present the different self-awareness courses and subjects to AMEDD audiences using materials provided or developed IAW this contract and as described the in any contractor provided agreement. The NAICS code for this procurement is 611430 (Professional and management development training) and the annual size standard in millions of dollars is $ 11.
