- Description
- NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC) has a requirement for 'Power & Privilege: Race Workshops'. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the services from S.L. Robbins and Associates on a sole source basis. The primary objective of the work to be performed is to examine issues of power, privilege, diversity, and inclusion and race and how they affect everyone, regardless of color, at Goddard. The workshop will enable participants to be more aware of and skillful at managing discrepancies related to race, power, privilege, diversity, and inclusion as they carry out their functional supervisory and leadership duties across the Center. It will also increase their capacity to recognize and discuss dynamics of race, power, privilege, diversity, and inclusion within their functional organizations and thus create opportunities for improving understanding, problem solving, decision-making, and teamwork. S.L. Robbins & Associates has successfully developed and previously delivered a Race, Power, and Privilege workshop module for other Goddard Organizations. The workshops design and facilitation effectively enabled participants, regardless of race, to examine and discuss the systemic nature of racial privilege and its impact on themselves and at Goddard. Several Goddard organizations, members of the Center's Management Council and individuals attended the previous S.L. Robbins and Associates workshop. OHCM, EEO and the Diversity Special Assistant (supported by Goddard Management) have determined that all supervisors and influence leaders need to revive the same training in order for the center to fully accomplish the goals of its future planning initiative. The previously delivered workshop required has been modified in order to highlight Goddard specific context, but the foundations of the workshop remain in their entirety. S.L. Robbins & Associates has extensive, unique experience in working with the organizational cultures at the GSFC. They have proven skills and expertise in creating the necessary transformative experience in this culture for brining the issue of racism from a cognitive, conceptual and analytical level to an effective, operational and solution-oriented level. S.L. Robbins & Associates is uniquely qualified to conduct a training workshop similar to the one found to be so effective in the Goddard culture previously and to apply it to the specific needs of OHCM, EEO and the Special Assistant for Diversity. For this workshop to enable OHCM to remain a leading voice in the Centers conservation about race, power, privilege, diversity and inclusion and to fulfill its obligations to the Center's diversity strategy, S.L. Robbins is the only responsible source. No other potential source that possesses the experience, skills, and knowledge necessary to successfully meet the Office of Human Capital Management (OHCM) requirements for this workshop are known to exist. The information provided in the workshop is copyrighted material. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 (41 U.S.C. 428a), as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501 (a)(1)(ii).
