This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial service. The West Los Angeles VA Medical Center is requesting Two (2), Three (3)-day workshops on Leading and Empowering Organizations prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The solicitation number is VA262-17-Q-0752 and is issued as an (RFQ) Request For Quotation, unless otherwise indicated herein. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-69. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 611430 with a small business size standard of 11 million. This requirement is solicited as TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET- ASIDE and only qualified vendors may submit quotes. The VHA NCO 22 Long Beach, CA requires the following items: CLIN ITEM UNIT QUANTITY 0001 Two (2), Three (3)-day workshops on Leading and Empowering Organizations   EA 1 DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT GENERAL PROCEDURE: The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and transportation necessary to provide a workshop on empowering leaders & leading change in an organization for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS), located at 11301 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90073. SPECIFICATIONS: Establishing a culture of continuous improvement is one of VA s primary area of focus. In order to believe that a change can occur requires leaders to feel empowered to help drive changes. Our current culture based on AES (All Employee Survey) data reveals a lack of trust that our leaders are capable of driving change. In addition, maintaining a competent workforce is key in improving the Veterans experience from the top down. A critical component in maintaining a competent workforce is sustained accountability as described by Secretary McDonald as his philosophy for conducting VHA business (Message from Secretary, Aug 28, 2014). Again, the AES scores reveal that we have much improving to do in the area of competency & building trust in the organization. Contractor will provide two, multiple day workshop sessions consisting of up to three 8-hour days. Handouts of presenter s material will be provided no later than two weeks prior to event date. Contractor will provide content outline(s) of the lecture material, CVs for all participating faculty and a Faculty Disclosure form for CEU purposes. Provide a course evaluation and share the results of the evaluation. During these training courses, novice and experienced leaders alike deepen their understanding of leadership & building trust within the organization. The workshop provides a conceptual framework for leadership, practical skills, and an opportunity to develop those skills. Participants also learn how to help their staff develop problem solving, relationship, and risk taking skills. The practical applications presented in these training courses should set it apart from other leadership programs. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES: The Contractor shall provide the following, but not limited to: Two, training workshop sessions on dates to be mutually determined including: Handout Materials CEU Information If an event date is canceled or the scheduled consultant needs to be changed by contractor for any reason other than illness, death in the family, or weather related conditions, and alternative dates or a suitable substitute agreeable to the client is not found, contractor will refund applicable moneys already received from the client for canceled date.
