The NLRB Office of Acquisition Management is issuing this notice to request feedback from industry about capability of accomplishing the general requirement as follows: General description of requirement: The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is seeking a contractor to manage the Agency's Childcare Subsidy Program. Tuition assistance can reduce the amount of tuition parents pay for childcare by providing subsidies directly to the childcare provider. The program complies with H.R. 2590 entitled, "Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act" into Public Law 107-67 which includes permanent legislation authorizing the use of appropriated funds by executive agencies to provide childcare services for federal civilian employees. This legislation provides agencies with the authority to use appropriated funds to improve the affordability of childcare for lower income Federal employees using or seeking to use childcare services. The program is managed consistent with the aforementioned law and the regulations found at 5 CFR Part 792. Focus Areas: 1.Perform all administrative tasks associated with the Childcare Subsidy Program in accordance with Agency program requirements including but not limited to intake, screening, and processing applications, obtaining and reviewing provider documents to ensure licensure compliance, obtaining tax information and determining income eligibility, calculating payment of subsidies based on established criteria, pay invoices, monitor Agency funding, and communicating in writing to applicants, providers, and the Agency when required. 2.Generate and send monthly reports to track the number of employees who qualified for tuition assistance and their grade levels; the number of children enrolled as a result of receiving subsidy; and the number of applications pending; the amount of tuition assistance each recipient is qualified to receive, and the amount dispersed to the childcare provider; the name and location of childcare providers receiving funds for tuition assistance; and, the remaining balance of the Agency's funds and the amount needed for the next quarter to cover projected disbursements. 3.Maintain confidentiality of all of the information contained in the Childcare Subsidy Program applications and correspondence by use of electronic password protected documents. The objectives of this requirement must be met by professional personnel who are highly skilled and that are keenly aware of the sensitivity associated with the information and areas in which they are performing. The anticipated period of performance for this requirement is five (5) years; a 12-month base period, and four (4) 12-month option periods.
