- The Administration for Children and Families Administration for Native Americans has released solicitation 17-233-SOL-00255 to seek an 8(a) contractor to provide Onsite IT and Panel Review Support. ANA promotes self-sufficiency for Native Americans by providing funding for community-based projects, providing training and technical assistance to eligible tribes and native organizations and through advocacy and policy development on behalf of Native Americans. The concept of promoting self-sufficiency is based on the following core beliefs: • The native community is self-sufficient when it can generate and control the resources necessary to meets its social and economic goals and the needs of its members. • The responsibility for achieving self-sufficiency resides within the native governing bodies and local leadership. • Progress toward self-sufficiency is based on efforts to plan and direct resources in a comprehensive manner consistent with long-range goals.

The demand is highest for ANA grants in the SEDS program. Each year, ANA convenes review sessions to rank and score eligible grant applications. ANA recruits professionals who possess experience and qualifications relevant to ANA program areas to serve as panel reviewers and chairpersons. Panel reviewers analyze, score and comment on ANA grant applications. Panel chairpersons work with a team of three panel reviewers to facilitate discussion and consolidate comments. The chairperson also works with ANA to finalize a report for each application reviewed. In response to Section 804 of the Act, ANA specifically provides training and technical assistance; coordinates annual panel review sessions; conducts annual project impact evaluations on its grantees; and directly administers community-based projects and several private-public partnerships. Typically, ANA administers approximately 240 projects a year. ANA's constituency resides in reservations, villages, island, urban, and rural Native communities. This requirement is a total small business competitive 8(a) set-aside. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 541611, with a small business size standard of $15 Million. This acquisition shall be a Service Contract. The period of performance shall be one base year with 4 one-year options. After the pre-solicitation period ends, this solicitation will be issued on FBO and all eligible/capable 8(a) firms will be able to access the solicitation and may submit a proposal in response to it.
