- Description
- The Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Assistant Administrator of Human Resources, Office of Benefits and Worklife (AHP-400) has the mission of advising and supporting the management of the Federal Aviation Administration in regard to programs which enhance the lives of the FAA's workforce. This announcement's scope of work is the administration of the FAA's child care subsidy program. Federal legislation which Congress enacted through Public Law 107-67, Sec. 630, on November 12, 2001, permits Federal agencies to administer a program to assist their lower income Federal employees with the costs of childcare. A child care subsidy program helps to offset the high costs of childcare. The program increases the FAA's ability to retain a qualified workforce by lowering the cost of child care, allowing parents to stay engaged with the workplace. The purpose of this market survey is to solicit statements of interest and capability from sources that can provide administrative services to the FAA. Responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. The FAA is soliciting this information from small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 8(a) certified business capable of providing this service. The information received will be used to finalize the FAA's acquisition strategy for the requirement. Duties include: handling administrative tasks associated with the child care subsidy program, providing agency employees with applications to the child care subsidy program, processing those applications, notifications of eligibility to applicants, ensuring that child care providers are licensed and/or regulated and processing weekly invoices from and payment to participating child care providers. The current provider processes invoices from and payments to approximately 140 childcare facilities. See Attachment 1 for Draft Statement of Work for more details on the work to be performed. This market survey is also being conducted to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition to be among small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or 8(a) certified businesses. The planned period of performance for this effort is five years from date of award. The award structure will include a 12-month base period with four 12-month option periods.
