Original:

The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) mission is "Protecting consumers and enhancing public health by maximizing compliance of FDA regulated products and minimizing risk associated with those products." And our vision is: "All food is safe; all medical products are safe and effective; and the public health is advanced and protected".
In an effort to support FDA's mission and vision, as a scientific agency, the Office of Human Resources (OHR) recruits for mission critical positions such as: Chemists, Biologists, Toxicologists, and Medical Officers to list a few. We compete heavily with private sector and academia for scientific talent. Many of our positions are hard to fill and need to be filled in a timely manner. OHR established this office four years ago and has consistently experienced a high attrition rate. As a result, OHR heavily relies on contract support to supplement the staffing, recruitment, and classification workload that are needed to hire and onboard new employees. FDA requires the support services of contractors in the area of human resources (HR), to include, but not limited to:
Recruitment and staffing
Personnel action processing support
Classification support
Project management support
HR information systems infrastructure support
Human capital data analysis and reporting support
Strategic communications and logistics support
Employee and labor relations support
Worker's compensation support
Administrative support

It is the FDA's intent to award approximately three (3) indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts, with a performance period of five (5) years and a ceiling of $49,000,000.00. The Government reserves the right to determine the optimum number of awards based on the proposals received and balanced against the Government's required level of effort.
