- Description
- The IRS is in the process of analyzing the capabilities within the market place to provide training space administrative services in IRS Campus Centers at 10 sites located in Andover, Massachusetts; Chamblee, Georgia; Holtsville, New York; Covington, Kentucky; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Memphis, Tennessee; Fresno, California; Overland Park, Kansas/Kansas City, Missouri; Ogden, Utah; and Austin, Texas. This function currently comprises 194 training rooms, ranging in size from auditorium to breakout rooms. Some of the training rooms are equipped with computers. Approximately 10,000 annual training events are scheduled in the rooms. Events range from hour-long training sessions to sessions spanning several months. Since the facilities are open 24-hours a day, business managers at the campus may ask to schedule a training session, and will expect administrative training staff support, at any hour. Customers of the training centers are all employees of the agency, which comprises approximately 63,600 customers. The IRS is interested in those contractors that have experience in supporting training centers who are able to perform all of the following functions: 1. Scheduling classroom space to maximize usage; including resolving conflicts. This is especially important, since many training events are time-sensitive and cannot be easily rescheduled to periods of low training activity 2. Ordering and providing supplies for instructors and students, receiving course materials (internal textbooks, commercial texts, and government forms) and notifying customer contact points of classroom locations 3. Set-up and maintenance of classrooms and equipment, including AV equipment and computer hardware 4. Providing instructor orientation to the facility, its equipment, and its services 5. Photocopying class materials for the instructors Since access to the facilities is restricted to government employees, access to the facility requires Federal government background checks. Background checks are submitted to a federal background investigation center and are not paid for by the Government. The agency will provide the facility including training furniture and equipment from its current facilities (e.g., tables, chairs, podiums, overhead projectors, VCRs and computer hardware, etc.). Through this RFI, IRS seeks interested, experienced parties to furnish capabilities statements with information illustrating the existence and experience in these services. IRS will use the information provided in the responses to this RFI to assess the interest and desire of either contractor or Government organizations in providing these types of administrative training services in a Campus Center environment. Based on that assessment, IRS will decide whether to issue a solicitation for the services. This RFI is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and is not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Responses to this RFI will not be considered as proposals or offers, which could be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Address responses to Arthur Dalton (202/283-1172), IRS-A:P:P:P:, 6009 Oxon Hill Rd., Oxon Hill, MD 20745. Fax responses acceptable: 202/283-1529. E-mail responses acceptable: Arthur.L.Dalton@irs.gov. All final written responses to this RFI should be received by 5/17/02, 16:00 local time.
