The U.S. Department of Interior, Minerals Management Service (MMS) is soliciting a Request for Proposal for Solicitation Number 1435-01-02-RP-85336 MMS 2004-2008 Implementation Plan. The MMS Implementation Plan will chart a course for the bureau for the next five years, describe its goals and the strategies, initiatives, and activities to achieve the goals. The Department of the Interior (DOI) is developing a new Strategic Plan for 2004-2008. The DOI Strategic Plan will present DOI's goals, strategies and activities in an integrated document that will satisfy the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and OMB circulars. The separate MMS Implementation Plan will not be a GPRA plan but it is intended to be an implementation roadmap for employees to achieve the goals of the MMS. The MMS Implementation Plan will link to the end outcomes and intermediate strategies in the DOI 2004-2008 Strategic Plan. The MMS Implementation Plan will be based on logic models developed by its two major program areas: Offshore Minerals Management and Minerals Revenue Management. The MMS Implementation Plan should be no more than 45 pages, interesting to read, and easy to understand. It should present MMS's story from the corporate perspective and focus on our role in ensuring the nation's energy future, our partnerships with industry and other stakeholders, and our role in the international energy picture. MMS will construct all mission statements, goals, targets, and strategies. The contractor will edit, compose, design the presentation, develop charts and graphs and in general improve the clarity, brevity, and understandability of the document. While our primary audience is internal, the MMS Implementation Plan will also be a roadmap for other interested parties such as Congress. It will contain graphics and photos and be edited for plain English. Minerals Management Service intends to competitively award a firm fixed price contract for this effort.
