This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NHLBI-PB-(AR)-2008-105-JNB, and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-26. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 541990 and the business size standard is $7.0 million. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. This solicitation is a set aside for small business. It is the intent of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, to procure the services/products from Leading Edge Coaching and Development Inc., 3300 Crestmoor Bay, Saint Paul, MN 55125-5011, for the following: 1.

Materials will be produced (printed and collated) by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). A. In the half-day training sessions, individual contributors will learn to convey credibility, and demonstrate a leadership presence during informal, (e.g., meeting and everyday conversation), and formal, (e.g., briefing with your boss or team) interactions. They will identify personal strengths and weaknesses, and increase effectiveness with managers, peers, and external stakeholders. In addition, participants will identify the purpose of every communication and stay on message. The session will include theatrical demonstrations, lectures, interactive discussions, small work groups, and individual skill practice. After the class, Leading Edge will provide the managers of the participants with a detailed message of what the participant learned, and how to support and reinforce their communication development moving forward. The sole source determination is based on the fact that the Leading Edge Coaching and Development presenters, Cindy Maher and Carol Grannis, bring more than 15 years of experience in leadership education, executive team development, Performance strategies and senior HR position skills. They incorporate all of this experience within their active involvement in theater, to create a learning environment that includes scenes to demonstrate negative and position behaviors associated with leadership training concepts. Through their use of active demonstration and interactive participation and humor, they deliver enjoyable, meaningful and learning strategies. In addition, they incorporate their coaching skills to further enhance individual and group learning. It is extremely important that the follow up communication training be in the same style and message as was presented at the NHLBI’s leadership Retreats. Cindy Maher and Carol Grannis understand the NHLBI leadership and culture. They will customize the training scenarios and strategies to best fit the NHLBI culture, and to provide coaching services.
