- This synopsis is hereby issued in accordance with FAR Part 5.203 and FAR 13 in response to the mandatory requirement for a 15-day notification. The purpose of this synopsis is to announce the Indian Health Service�s (IHS) intent to negotiate a Firm Fixed Price sole source contract with Handshake located at 255 Bush St. Suite 1200 San Francisco, CA 94104 for five (5) Premium Handshake Seat Licenses, inclusive of the talent engagement suite, federal expert assistance (program management), virtual and event managing, and school explorer. The Indian Health Service (IHS) mission is to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska natives to the highest level. This includes providing direct medical care and well as preventative health support through a variety of programs. The IHS through the Office of Environmental Health and Engineering (OEHE) Sanitation Facilities Construction (SFC) Program, is in need of hiring several hundred engineers and technicians over the next several years. This increased need is a result of increased SFC funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (P.L. 117-58). Handshake will allow IHS to post jobs and provide IHS access to university-validated candidate profiles with academic enrollment data that is real-time. IHS will be able to search for candidates efficiently and connect with quality candidates through the platform. Only one source, Handshake, is capable of fulfilling the IHS requirement as the only platform that incorporates students, universities, and employers with exclusive partnership with the universities which would allow IHS to reach potential applicants unlike any other available platforms. The total estimated cost of this service is $220,675.00 inclusive of one (1) base year period, and two (2) one year option periods. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS, however, interested firms may submit a capability statement in response to the above requirement with pricing information by August 25th, 2022@ 3:00 PM Eastern Time to Christopher McGucken, Contracting Officer, Phone: (202) 677-5373, Email: Christopher.McGucken@ihs.gov.
