- Description
- Pursuant to the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1) (i), Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Community Living (ACL) is looking for a contractor to develop and disseminate summary findings from the National Goals 2015 conference held in August 2015. 1. The National Goals 2015 in Research, Practice and Policy serves as a neutral venue through which decision makers in the government, the marketplace, and the community can come together to review current knowledge, discuss possible approaches to advance the highest quality of life for people with IDD, and to generate a list of research practice and policy goals that if implemented nationally would enhance the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. AAIDD promotes progressive policies, sound research, effective practices, and universal human rights for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. AAIDD's goals are to 1. Enhance the capacity of professionals who work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 2. Promote the development of a society that fully includes individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 3. Sustain an effective, responsive, well managed, and responsibly-governed organization. AAIDD's principles* (or core values) that guide the achievements of its goals relative to its mission are to: • Cultivate and provide leadership in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities that encompasses a diversity of disciplines, cultures, and perspectives. • Enhance the skills, knowledge, rewards, and conditions of people currently working in the field and encourage promising students to pursue careers in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. • Advance basic and applied research to prevent or minimize the effects of intellectual and developmental disabilities. • Advance the assurance of all human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including equality, individual dignity, choice, and respect. • Promote genuine accommodations to expand participation in all aspects of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, opportunities for choice and self-determination, and access to quality health, education, vocational, and other human services and supports. • Influence positive attitudes and public awareness to contributions of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. • Establish partnerships and strategic alliances with organizations that share our values and goals. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposal. No solicitation document is available. All responsible sources that have determined that they can provide the requisite services may submit capabilities statements. The email subject line must reference ACL170172 Capability Statement. All responses are due by February 24, 2016, 12:00PM Eastern time and can be sent to David Morgan at David.Morgan@psc.hhs.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government.
