Description

PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE INTRODUCTION This is a pre-solicitation notice and not a request for proposals. The Government is seeking industry comment and questions on the Performance Work Statement (PWS). BACKGROUND The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Office of Transition and Economic Impact (TEI) is seeking contractor services for support of the Military's Transition Assistance Program (TAP). TEI requires support with advancing the ongoing implementation; sustainment and enhancement of TAP to ensure Servicemembers and their families have the necessary tools and information to seamlessly transition into civilian life. Each day Servicemembers make the transition from the military to civilian life. To aid in that transition, in August 2011, President Obama directed the Department of Defense (DoD) and VA to lead a task force with the White House economic and domestic policy teams and other agencies to develop the first major redesign of TAP. At the direction of the President, the purpose of the redesigned TAP is to develop a new training and service delivery model to allow a Servicemember, which includes Active, Reserve, and Guard, regardless of their branch of Service, to depart "career ready". In addition to the Presidential Task Force efforts, Congress passed the Veterans Opportunity to Work to Hire Heroes Act (VOW Act 2011) which mandates all Servicemembers who are separating, retiring, or being released from a period of 180 days or more of continuous Active Duty must complete all mandatory requirements of the VOW Act, which includes pre-separation counseling to develop an Individual Transition Plan (ITP) with DoD and identify their career planning needs; attend the VA Benefits Briefings I and II to understand what VA benefits the Servicemember earned, how to apply for them, and leverage them for a positive economic outcome; and attend the Department of Labor Employment Workshop (DOLEW), which focuses on the mechanics of resume writing, networking, job search skills, interview skills, and labor market research. To support the development of VA TAP career readiness programs, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) TEI requires the assistance of subject matter experts (SMEs) with extensive experience in the development and implementation of education, skills and career training for transitioning employees. TEI requires a team that is capable of supporting and improving an existing model for transitioning Servicemembers, Veterans, and their families from the military to a productive civilian life. PURPOSE The purpose of this contract is to provide TEI with support services to address VOW Act requirements, support continuous implementation of the interagency Veterans Employment Initiative (VEI) Task Force recommendations, the Transition Goals, Plans, Success (GPS) curriculum, Capstone events and the Military Life Cycle (MLC) model. CONTRACT TYPE The contract type will be a hybrid contract type, a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Material, covering a 5 year period of performance, inclusive of options NAICS The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s) for this requirement is 541612, Human Resources Consulting Services, which has a size standard of $15 Million. This is anticipated to be a full and open competition solicited through the Government Point of Entry website www.fbo.gov using both FAR 12 and FAR 15. Vendor comments and questions are due no later than 10:00 A.M. EST July 05, 2016, to Ms. Tara Flores at Tara.Flores@va.gov, or Ms. Caitlin Palmer at caitlin.palmer@va.gov.
