- Description
- The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of the United States Department of Labor is seeking a contractor to establish and operate a structured, fall and spring semester internship program for undergraduate students with disabilities who are interested in pursuing careers in public service. ODEP anticipates that the contractor will place 50 students during the course of this 18-month contract. Prospective sources must show expertise and substantial experience in both of the following areas: (1) the establishment and operation of a structured, fall and spring semester internship program for undergraduate students, and (2) the placement of undergraduate students in internships in any branch of the federal government (i.e., Executive, Legislative and/or Judicial). Experience in the placement of undergraduate students with disabilities in internships is desirable but not required. This expertise and experience should be presented in a synopsis of projects previously performed by the source. Each synopsis should identify the name and address of the client, a description of the work performed, the dollar value of the project, the number of personnel on the project, the period of performance, and the name and telephone number of a contact at each client who is knowledgeable about the work performed by the source for the client. An estimate of lead-time required to provide on-site a fully trained and experienced staff meeting the combined requirements shall also be included. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All interested parties who believe they meet these requirements are invited to submit a response in writing, postmarked no later than April 22, 2003, that provides information describing their ability to provide these services. Vendors interested in performing this project must submit a Statement of Qualification/Capabilities Statement that identifies the vendor?s experience in the performance of services the same as or similar to the ones to be performed. THE STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS MUST BE PROVIDED IN TRIPLICATE, AND TRANSMITTED UNDER A COVER LETTER. The cover letter must cite the number of this notice (RFI T.N. 03-14), and it must state whether the respondent is a large, small or 8(a) business concern. The NAICS code for this requirement is 611710 and the size standard is $6,000,000.00. Respondents that are small business concerns must also state whether they are small disadvantaged business and/or small woman-owned businesses. All submissions responsive to this listing must be mailed to Mr. Angel P?rez, Chief, Division of Contract Negotiations and IT Procurement, Business Operations Center and be postmarked no later than April 22, 2003 to be considered. All other submissions will be considered to be non-responsive. The Government reserves the right to compete any acquisition resulting from this RFP among small businesses or to make award to an 8(a) firm, based on the responses received. This synopsis is for planning purposes only and does not commit the Government to pay for the information requested, issue a solicitation or award a contract. No technical or solicitation documents exist at this time. All firms/organizations that submit responses will be included in the distribution of any subsequent solicitation.
