R -- EXECUTIVE PLACEMENT SERVICE SOL RFQ-70020-NE DUE 010897 POC David M. Keefer, Contracting Officer 301/496-8628. The National Cancer Institute anticipates issuing a Request for Quotation for an Executive Placement Service and is primarily interested in organizations which have worked with the Federal Government and in particular, organizations which have experience in filling positions in the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) arena. The position is the NCI Equal Employment Opportunity Manager and a brief summary of the duties are: responsible for the management, direction, and coordination of all matters relating to EEO, targeting both systemic and individual problems, provides expert advice and guidance to Institute managers at all levels on such issues such as affirmative action, complaints of discrimination, outreach/recruitment efforts, special emphasis programs, and programs designed to increase workforce diversity in all functional areas of the National Cancer Institute. The RFQ will be issued as a simplified acquisition mechanism and possibly may not be advertised but rather posted on the Institute's Board. Since the Institute is not familiar with this market, this announcement is an attempt to identify specific sources for the RFQ. The firm will be expected to meet with NCI senior management on two or three occasions, conduct a national screening and search, recommend 3-5 potential candidates and provide associated documentation and support. Firms who believe they are qualified for this effort should submit a qualifications package which identify, at a minimum, previous Federal Government clients, position filled and Federal Agency representative (name, position and telephone number) who is familiar with the work performed. Special attention should be given to EEO positions. Responses should not exceed 10 pages and should be received no later than 3:00 PM EST, Wednesday, January 8, 1997. David M.
