E-MAIL: Contracting Officer's Representative e-mail, elcraft@opm.gov. R -- The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Federal Executive Institute (FEI) in Charlottesville, VA is seeking instructional and consultant services. The Institute offers a four-week Leadership for a Democratic Society (LDS) program nine times per year during the academic year beginning October 1 of each year. The LDS program has a need for two types of assistance. Course teaching faculty are needed for up to 4 courses per week for each of weeks 2-4 of the program. Courses vary from12.5 to 19 hours in length. The Institute also seeks the services of small group facilitators to participate in the facilitation of Leadership Development Teams (LDTs). Each LDT facilitator manages a predetermined curriculum for a small work team (8-9 people) in the LDS program. The FEI's Center for Executive Leadership (CEL) offers short 2-5 day open enrollment courses and programs tailored to specific clients. These CEL programs are separate from the LDS program. OPM is seeking persons to develop courses for these CEL programs. The CEL also provides a range of consulting services to individual executives and organizational units. OPM seeks persons to provide these consulting services. OPM intends to award Multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) in response to this RFQ, with the number of awards to be determined upon evaluation of the responses to this RFQ. We expect to issue multiple year BPAs to include an initial 12 month period with annual optional periods thereafter for a total of 5 years. The exercise of optional periods of performance, after the initial 12 month period expires, is at the sole discretion of the Government and is contingent upon the determination by the Contracting Officer that such renewals would be in the best interest of the Government. The SIC code for this procurement is 8299 (Schools and Educational Services, N.E.C.) and the BPA awards will be set aside for small businesses. The small business threshold it $5 million in average annual revenues. It is anticipated that RFQ OPM-98-00659KLM will be released no earlier than June 9. This Solicitation will not be subject to provisions of Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Proposals will be due no later than July 17, 1998. Those wishing a copy of the RFQ should contact Ms. Evelyn Craft at 804-980-6272, Internet, elcraft@ opm.gov.***** The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Federal Executive Institute (FEI) in Charlottesville, VA is seeking instructional and consultant services.
