The Washington Headquarters Services/Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) issued a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) on behalf of the Organizational Management and Policy Directorate (O&MPD) to gather market research for professional support services. This notice is not a solicitation but aims to assess the interest and capability of potential firms, particularly encouraging responses from small businesses. The anticipated NAICS code is 541611 for administrative management consulting services, and work is expected to occur primarily at the Pentagon or nearby sites.
The SSN outlines submission requirements, including the necessity for respondents to hold an active Top Secret Facility Clearance. Interested firms must submit a Capabilities Statement by October 4, 2024. Details required in the submission encompass company information, experience with similar contracts, and examples of relevant expertise in organizational management, governance support, and data analytics, among other areas.
The current effort continues from a prior contract with Analytic Services, Inc. (ANSER) and targets a 12-month base period with four one-year options starting in February 2025. The Government emphasizes adherence to security protocols and guidelines in the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). Responses will inform the Government's acquisition strategy moving forward.
