Dept of State - INL Worldwide (W-TPC BPA) PR15796090

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is seeking proposals for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide professional and administrative support services worldwide. The BPA will allow for the procurement of highly qualified third-party contractors on an individual call basis. Contractors must meet the labor category requirements outlined in their GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and ensure that personnel have the required skills and employ practices to identify, screen, place, monitor, train, and retain qualified candidates. Services and performance details will be defined in each order, with prices aligned with the contractor's original proposal and established labor rates under the GSA/MAS Schedule Contract. Key aspects of the proposal include understanding the requirements, approach, recruitment, screening, retention, transition plan, management plan, quality control plan, corporate experience, and past performance. • The BPA is set aside for Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB). • The contract type for individual calls will depend on factors identified in FAR 16.104. • The fully loaded hourly labor rates awarded will apply only to the specific call and may be lower than the NTE fully loaded hourly labor rates. • Overtime is defined as time worked in excess of a normal workweek and will be paid at the fixed fully loaded hourly labor rates negotiated in the call. • Travel costs are authorized for travel beyond a 50-mile radius of the contractor employee's local place of performance. • The government reserves the right to disqualify contractors that omit pricing within Attachment B – Pricing. • Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit, with factors including understanding the requirement and approach, management plan, corporate experience, and past performance, as well as price.
