The Corporation for National Service (CNS) intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis, with Consultants in Continual Improvement (CICI) for the development of a 360-degree National Service Leadership Survey. The requirement involves: (1) Developing a 360-degree multi-rater National Service Leadership Institute (NSLI) Assessment Survey for Leaders and granting the Corporation a permanent, unlimited license to use and reproduce the survey instrument; (2) developing, with NSLI help, three beta-tests of the instrument, to be administered to Corporation employees and grantees and/or NSLI alumni; (3) developing a Leadership Development Notebook for use by national service leaders in enhancing their competencies; (4) providing scoring and report-preparation services for NSLI participants; and (5) training NSLI trainers and affiliated faculty to provide survey feedback to NSLI participants. This feedback would include explaining: (a) the model and how it works; (b) how to read and use the feedback report; (c)how to interpret the data in a coaching session; and (d) the development planning process. CICI developed a 360-degree multi-rater Assessment Survey Instrument for Executives, and it is expected that much of the development work for this instrument will be used in developing the 360-degree multi-rater Assessment Survey Instrument for Leaders. In addition, this new instrument will be required to be compatible with the same scoring hardware and software acquired for the 360-degree multi-rater Assessment Survey Instrument for Executives. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within forty-five days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Posted 09/10/99 (W-SN378965). (0253)
