Description
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) intends to award on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR Clause 6.302-1 with Hispanic Associates of Colleges and Universities, 8415 DataPoint Dr, Suite 400, San Antonio, TX 78229 to participate in the Hispanic Associates of Colleges and Universities National Internship program for the period of June 8, 2009 through August 14, 2009. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has a critical need to expand its recruitment presence in the Hispanic community. Indeed, NARA’s Strategic Plan calls for NARA to strive toward increasing the percentages of NARA employees in underrepresented groups to match their respective availability levels in the civilian labor force. Currently, Hispanics comprise only 1.3 percent of NARA’s workforce, as compared to 7.0 percent of the Federal workforce and 6.9 percent of the total civilian labor force. Traditional recruitment methods alone are not enough to address this problem, and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has instructed Federal agencies to look to alternative sources for Hispanic applicants. One source that is specifically recommended by OPM is the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). HACU is the only national education association that represents collectively those U.S. colleges and universities designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions. As such, HACU can provide NARA with a unique level of access to highly qualified Hispanic students, thereby increasing NARA’s visibility within the Hispanic community. The supplies and services to be provided are commercial within the meaning of FAR Clause 52.212.1. This statutory authority for other than full and open competition is USC 2304 (c) (1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Oral communications are not acceptable. The contract will be issued on or about March 16,2009 and will be for a period of 2 months. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in responding to this notice. Refer to Note 22 in Fedbizzopps. This contract is estimated to be awarded for a Base performance Period of 12 months and one twelve-month Option Period. The following clauses and provisions are incorporated and are to remain in full force in any resultant fixed price purchase order: FAR Clause 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial Items (Nov 2007); FAR Clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items (Nov 2007); offerors shall complete only paragraph (k) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certificates electronically at http://orca.bpn.gov.
