DESC: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, Administration
for Children and Families, through the Program Support Center,
Division of Acquisition Management, Department of Health and
Human Services, is seeking qualified sources to evaluate programs
designed to enhance employment outcomes for current or former
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) recipients and
other low-income parents who have demonstrated difficulty entering
and sustaining employment. The Contractor will determine what
types of program interventions are most effective in helping
those who may need more or different assistance than most current
programs provide. Work under this contract will identify
and/or develop and evaluate such programs designed to enhance
employment and family well-being outcomes for current or former
TANF recipients or other low income parents who are hard to
employ. The successful Contractor is to recruit and develop
sites, help improve or expand models, and design and conduct
a multi-site evaluation that studies the implementation issues,
program designs, net impact, and the costs and benefits of
selected programs. The goals of the multi-site evaluation are
to increase the Department's knowledge about strategies designed
to help hard-to-employ parents find and keep unsubsidized employment
and to generate knowledge about the effects of such programs
on family functioning and child well being. The proposed
procurement is full and open. It is anticipated that a Cost
Plus Fixed-Fee Contract will be award for a period of eight
and a half (8.5) years. Solicitation 233-01-0012 will be available
on or about May 18, 2001, with a tentative closing date of
July 9, 2001. The North American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) number is 541611, and the business size standard
is 5 million. All requests for the solicitation package must
be submitted in writing. Requests for the solicitation may
be sent by fax to (301) 443-3849 or by e-mail to aford@psc.gov.,
and must reference the solicitation number. No telephone request
for the solicitation package will be accepted.
