Rose -- (703) 875-6064 or Bob Wissman -- (703) 875-6059 The U.S. Department of State seeks information on existing computer aided job evaluation (CAJE) systems for possible implementation at U.S. embassies, consulates and other foreign service posts abroad. The objective of this request for information is to assist the Department and participating agencies in the study of the feasibility of replacing a dated narrative standards based position classification system with a state-of-the-art automated job evaluation system for jobs incumbered by our locally engaged staff at posts abroad. The ultimate goal is to improve our existing methods, provide for consistency and equity in job evaluation, and to effect time and cost savings in the U.S. Government's international Human Resource Management efforts. Information is being solicited on systems that: Have an established performance record in international settings and can be adapted for use in large and small Government offices in both developed countries and countries in development; Must be easy to use and easy to learn by English speaking professional HR personnel from a variety of cultures and backgrounds; Can be adapted easily to the U.S. Government's overseas 12 grade salary structure and can generally replicate the existing U.S. Government internal position alignment and value structure; Have the ability to grow by adding refinements in the future such as position description writing modules, performance management tools, recruitment database tools and compensation and benefit management tools, as well as systems upgrades; Can be adapted for use on the internet, agency intranet and on stand alone PCs or Laptop computers. A Mircosoft Windows operating environment is preferred. Please forward system and cost information that meets this general criteria to: U.S. Department of State Office of Acquisition Management P.O.
