- Statement of Work 09/17/2014 Technical Evaluation Criteria This is a combined Synopsis/Solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format of FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HHSNIHODRFP140000 and is being issued as a Request for Proposals (RFP). The incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-76 effective July 25, 2014. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 611110. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The current workforce is composed of large numbers of baby boomers who are projected to retire at an increasing rate in the next 8 to 15 years. The upcoming retirement wave is anticipated to create a shortage of skilled workers in many occupational areas. To mitigate the effects of this anticipated occurrence organizations in the public and private sectors have begun establishing relationships with high schools to cultivate an entry level supply of labor. Research suggests that one of the careers most vulnerable to these labor market shifts are those of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupations. NIDCD is interested in partnering with a high school to increase interest in STEM occupations and the NIH/NIDCD, particularly among populations underrepresented in the biomedical research field, and begin to work towards bridging the anticipated shortage of skilled workers in STEM occupations. OBJECTIVE: The National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (NIH/NIDCD) wishes to participate in a partnership with a high school in Montgomery County, which allows students an opportunity to explore and actively engage in the NIH/NIDCD professional environment. SCOPE: This contract will establish and develop a pipeline of qualified candidates for NIH/NIDCD hiring needs in the next 8 to 15 years. This contract intends to focus solely on initiating a relationship with a high school with a demonstrated track record of successful work study programs with outside organizations. The work study program will introduce participating students to the professional environment of the NIH/NIDCD and provide them with administrative and technical work experience. Also it will provide NIH/NIDCD with entry level services for our intramural program and research management and support.
