R -- ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) HUMAN RESOURCES MODEL/FRAMEWORK, FOR THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, TO ADDRESS FUTURE IT PROFESSIONAL NEEDS SOL 98S245(N) DUE 091198 POC Lorenzo J. Falgiano, Contract Specialist, (404) 842-6786 The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention contemplates awarding a contract for the establishment of an Information Technology (IT) Human Resources Model/Framework for future IT needs and capabilities. Notice of intent to negotiate a sole source contract with the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) for service to the government of the United States such as contemplated by P.L. 98-257. The Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (ITMRA) requires all agencies to fully integrate IT capital planning and capital asset management within the budget process, performance measures, and business process re-engineering. The NAPA will provide knowledge, guidance and expertise to CDC for developing an information technology architecture (ITA) to guide its capital investments in a coherent, strategic direction which should improve the degree of inter-organizational operability. The ITA will describe the relationships among the work the agency does, the information the agency uses, and the information technology needs of the agency, within the parameters of acceptable management policies and practices. Based on the recent results of a computer classification review, CDC recognizes current IT position descriptions and the overall makeup of its IT workforce are not in alignment with future agency needs. Subsequently, a new human resource model for IT personnel will be developed based on the framework of the agency's new ITA. No RFP is available for distribution. See Note 22.
