- Description
- This procurement is set-aside for small businesses. The NAICS code is 611430 and the SIC Code is R799. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) intends to issue a Commercial Services, Fixed-Price contract for providing Leadership Training and Development Programs. The period of performance will be for a one-year base period and four option years. The full scope of work anticipated will be set forth in the statement of work (SOW) of the solicitation document that will be posted no later than Friday, December 17, 2004. Offerors are advised that hard copies of the solicitation will not be made available as the entire document will be posted on FedBizOpps. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses and inspects nuclear reactors, materials, and waste facilities to ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards during all phases of construction, testing, and decommissioning operations to protect the public health and safety and the environment from the effects of radiation. To further its mission, the Commission conducts training programs for its managers, supervisors, and other staff that are designed to strengthen the participants’ effectiveness and efficiency in their current positions and to develop their skills and knowledge for future work activities. For over 25 years, the NRC has conducted a variety of in-house supervisory, managerial, technical, and professional development programs. Since 2001, NRC has conducted three,12-month Leadership Development Programs (LPP) to train individuals (Grades 13 - 15) for supervisory positions and two,18-month Senior Executive Service Candidate Development Programs (SESCDPs), with an SESCDP for 31 individuals currently being implemented. Approximately 65 individuals have completed the LPP and 50 have completed the SESCDPs. These programs are functioning effectively and major changes to them are not anticipated. The services called for under this contract will be offered at NRC Headquarters and its four regional offices, except for those pertaining to the SESCDP and LPP, which are normally conducted in Headquarters. In 2004, the NRC completed a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) to review the content of the most frequently instructed in-house, NRC courses offered to Grades 7 - SES. The contractor may be requested to revise, as needed, and instruct, the following courses that were reviewed in the TNA: Coaching and Counseling Skills for Managers (2 days), Conducting and Participating in Meetings, (2 days), Effective Communication for NRC Inspectors (3 days), Effective Oral Presentations (3 days), Facilitation Techniques Workshop (2 days), Gathering Inspection Information Through Interviews (2 days), Human Resources Management Practices (2 days), Interviewing Skills and Techniques for Recruiters (1 day), Leading NRC Work Teams (2 days), Managing Change (2 days), Media Training (2 days), Negotiating Techniques: How to Gain Agreement (2 days), Management Workshop--Exploring Emotional Intelligence (2 days), Performance Appraisal (1 day), Public Outreach Meetings (2 days), Selection Interviewing Workshop (2 days), Situational Leadership (1 day), Small Group Dynamics (2 - 3 days), Supervising Human Resources (5 days), and Technical Writing for Supervisors and their Staff (1 day). The TNA reviewed the Participant Handbook for each course (the courses did not have Instructor Guides) to identify the following elements: learning objectives, course content for each learning objective, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Leadership Competencies covered in each course, the relationship of content to level of learning as identified in Bloom’s Taxonomy, sequencing and content flow, and instructional methods. The TNA, which will be available to the contractor upon award, includes an analysis of the findings for each of the above elements. In Fiscal Years 2003 and 2004, 32 separate technical and leadership courses were offered in-house, with each course presented two to eight times during each fiscal year. Twenty-three out of the 32 courses offered were leadership courses. We anticipate this level of effort to continue over the next five years. Contracting services are needed to instruct the 23 leadership courses, as well as, the other activities described in the SOW. This is not a request for proposal and responses to this notice are not required at this time. Questions concerning this announcement should be addressed via e-mail to cac3@nrc.gov.

IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 16-MAY-2005, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
