Background
Federal government agencies, in conjunction with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), have the responsibility to prohibit discrimination within the civil service on the basis of race, color, religion or religious accommodation, sex, national origin, age, disability or disability accommodation, genetic information, reprisal for opposition to discrimination or participation in the complaint process, and sexual orientation.
Commissioned Corps Officers of the U.S. Public Health Service are not covered under the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws or subject to the provisions of Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) §1614. However, Commissioned Corps Personnel Manual, INSTRUCTION 6, Subchapter CC26.1, “Equal Opportunity: Discrimination Complaints Processing” establishes the rights of Commissioned Corps Officers to be free from discrimination and retaliation.
Complaints of EEO discrimination alleged by employees of federal agencies or applicants for federal employment covered by Title 29 C.F.R. § 1614 and any subsequent law, statute, regulation, or directive are included within the scope of this Statement of Work (SOW). Commissioned Corps Officers of the U.S. Public Health Service covered by the Commissioned Corps Personnel Manual, INSTRUCTION 6, Subchapter CC26.1, “Equal Opportunity: Discrimination Complaints Processing” are also included within the scope of this Statement of Work.
Objectives

Title 29 CFR Part 1614 requires federal agencies to develop and implement equal employment opportunity programs and complaint processing procedures. EEOC Management Directive EEO MD-110 implements the requirements of 29 CFR Part 1614. Federal agencies perform a portion of the required EEO services in house. This statement of work will outline the roles and responsibilities of each party when the Ordering Agency (Agency) needs to contract out investigative, EEO counseling, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and drafting Final Agency Decision (FAD) functions.

Scope of Work

Investigations of Formal EEO Complaints
The Agency will issue the case assignment to the Contractor. Three types of discrimination complaints may be investigated; the categories are: individual, consolidated, and class complaints. Regardless of the type of discrimination complaint, the investigation is usually performed in four major phases: (a) preparing for the investigation; (b) securing testimony; (c) obtaining documentary evidence and developing statistical information; and (d) preparing the investigative file. The Contractor shall perform work in accordance with the revised and most current editions of applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders that pertain to each case assignment issued under this contract and provided by the Agency to the Contractor.
Counseling of EEO Informal Complaints
The Agency will issue the case assignment to the Contractor. Three types of discrimination complaints may be counseled; the categories are: individual, consolidated, and class complaints. Regardless of the type of discrimination complaint, the EEO Counseling is usually performed in four major phases: (a) Interviewing the Counselee, Responsible Management Official(s) (RMO), and witnesses; (b) framing the claims and drafting management’s and witnesses’ responses to the claims; (c) obtaining documentary evidence and statistical information; and (d) preparing the counseling report and related documents. The Contractor shall perform work in accordance with the revised and most current editions of applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders that pertain to each case assignment issued under this contract and provided by the Agency to the Contractor. The Contractor will also use, unless otherwise indicated by the COR, documents and forms provided by the Agency.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
The Agency will determine when an aggrieved person or complainant is to be referred to the Contractor for ADR services. Three types of discrimination complaints may be referred; the categories are: individual, consolidated, and class complaints. Regardless of the type of discrimination complaint, the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is usually performed in six major phases: (a) Reviewing the Agency dispute file; (b) Developing an ADR Action Plan; (c) Setting up Meetings/Caucuses between the Parties; (d) Reviewing the ADR process with the Parties; (e) Identifying the issues; and either (f) Assisting the Parties in putting a proposed settlement agreement in writing and develop a draft settlement agreement or notifying the Parties if efforts to settle the dispute have been unsuccessful. The Contractor shall perform work in accordance with the revised and most current editions of applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders that pertain to each case assignment issued under this contract and provided by the Agency to the Contractor. The Contractor will also use, unless otherwise indicated by the COR, documents and forms provided by the Agency.

Drafting a Final Agency Decision
The Agency will issue the case assignment to the Contractor. Three types of discrimination complaints may require written FADs; the categories are: individual, consolidated, and class complaints. Regardless of the type of discrimination complaint, the FAD is usually performed in four major phases: (a) reviewing the Report of Investigation (ROI); (b) Drafting a presentation of facts; (c) conducting and drafting a legal analysis of the claims based on the information and evidence in the ROI; and (d) drafting recommended findings, conclusions, and, if applicable, appropriate remedies. The Contractor shall perform work in accordance with the revised and most current editions of applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders that pertain to each case assignment issued under this contract and provided by the Agency to the Contractor. The Contractor will also use, unless otherwise indicated by the COR, documents and forms provided by the Agency.
Investigation of Discrimination Complaints and Preparation of Reports of Investigation
The purpose of this subsection is to obtain Reports of Investigation in conformance with the standards established by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Investigations shall be performed to identify and obtain evidence from all relevant sources and gather sufficient information, relevant to the accepted issues in the complaint, to determine the validity of the allegations. If the Agency determines a violation of the applicable laws occurred, the Report of Investigation must provide the Agency with a sufficient factual basis from which to fashion an appropriate remedy.
Investigations shall include a thorough review of the circumstances under which the alleged discrimination occurred and the treatment of others not of the complainant’s class in the organizational segment. Additionally, the investigation shall require a review of any policies and practices related to the alleged discrimination.
1.1 Agency and Agency Contact Person
The Contractor will be provided an Agency Contact Person (ACP) at the Indian Health Service (IHS), Diversity Management and Equal Employment Opportunity Staff (DM & EEO). The ACP is to be determined when the service is ordered and specified on the case assignment by the Agency. The ACP will make the determination of the category of the complaint and the number of issues contained in each complaint. Disagreements between the Agency and the Contractor should be resolved by discussion between the ACP and the Contractor. If a modification to the original case assignment is required as a result of discussions between the ACP and the Contractor, the ACP shall revise the case assignment to reflect the agreed upon category of complaint and/or number of issues, and send the revised case assignment to the Contractor. If disagreements cannot be resolved, the Agency reserves the right to terminate the case assignment.
2. EEO Counseling of Discrimination Complaints and Preparation of Counseling Reports
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of the EEO Counseling inquiry is to obtain information regarding the claim(s), address jurisdictional questions, and attempt to facilitate a resolution to the Counselee’s requested remedy. The EEO Counselor should interview persons who can provide information that is relevant to the claim(s), settlement, and jurisdictional questions. The EEO counseling inquiry is not an “investigation” nor is it intended to resolve disputed facts; rather, it is simply gathering information necessary for the EEO Counselor to assist the parties in resolving the matter. The EEO Counselor must control the inquiry at all times and seek guidance and assistance from the Agency. Documents generated through EEO Counseling should adhere to Agency formats, style guide requirements, and unless approved in writing, use Agency-provided forms and materials.
2.2 Agency and Agency Contact Person
The Contractor will be provided an Agency Contact Person (ACP) at the Indian Health Service (IHS) Diversity Management and Equal Employment Opportunity Staff (DM & EEO). The ACP is to be determined when the service is ordered and specified on the case assignment by the Agency. The ACP will make the determination of the category of the complaint. Disagreements between the Agency and the Contractor should be resolved by discussion between the ACP and the Contractor. If a modification to the original case assignment is required as a result of discussions between the ACP and the Contractor, the ACP shall revise the case assignment to reflect the agreed upon category of complaint, and send the revised case assignment to the Contractor. If disagreements cannot be resolved, the Agency reserves the right to terminate the case assignment.
2.3 Requirements of the Contractor
To perform EEO counseling, the Contractor shall:
Provide to the ACP within 2 business days from receipt of case assignment the name, contact information, and, if not previously provided, documentation of current counseling certification.
Furnish all essential equipment, materials, personnel, and supplies necessary to perform all of the work detailed herein, including conducting EEO counseling and preparing the Counselor’s Report.
The EEO Counselor will immediately notify the ACP in writing providing details sufficient for the ACP to advise Agency leadership if any of the following occurs:
Any individual involved in the EEO Counseling process advises that he/she needs a reasonable accommodation or is unable to perform work duties due to a disability.
Any individual involved in the EEO counseling process advises that he/she is a threat to himself or others, or words to that effect, or that any other employee or contractor is a threat to self or others or words to that effect.
Conduct EEO Counseling via telephonic interviews, unless otherwise impracticable, at which point in-person interviews are permitted with prior written authorization from the COR. Any alternate method for conducting EEO Counseling must be approved in writing and in advance, of the EEO counseling, by the COR.
The EEO Counselor shall contact the Counselee within three (3) days of assignment to schedule the Initial interview.
The Initial interview with the Counselee should be conducted as soon as possible after receiving assignment, but no later than eight (8) days of assignment. If the Counselee has provided documentation of representation using the Agency-provided form, the EEO Counselor must include the representative in all correspondence, email, telephone conversations, interviews, and any other contact with the Counselee. Unusual circumstances that may prevent conducting the interview immediately; e.g., illness, emergency leave, priority assignments, must be brought to the attention of the ACP.
The EEO Counselor should request , within two (2) business days of the initial interview with Counselee, any documents from the ACP and/or the COR that the EEO Counselor believes are relevant to the limited inquiry.
The EEO Counselor must request all relevant documentation regarding the matters raised in counseling from the ACP and the Counselee only (all requests for documents, except for requests to the Counselee, must be made to the ACP or COR).
The EEO Counselor must instruct the Counselee to submit all requested/offered documents to the ACP and instruct all witnesses to submit any documents they offer in support of their interviews to the ACP EEO Counselor. The EEO Counselor will review the documents and determine they are to be included in the EEO Counselor’s Report within three (3) business days of receipt from the Counselee/witnesses. If the EEO Counselor has any questions regarding the inclusion of the submitted documents with the EEO Counselor’s Report, then the EEO Counselor shall check with the ACP for guidance on the matter.
The EEO Counselor shall interview all witnesses, including the RMO, within twenty (20) days of the Counselee’s Initial contact with the Agency. Prior to contacting anyone other than the Counselee, and if applicable, the Counselee’s representative, the EEO Counselor must obtain written authorization from the ACP or COR.
The Contractor must notify the ACP immediately if a Counselee or witness refuses to cooperate with the limited inquiry. The ACP will take appropriate steps to secure the witness’ cooperation and remind the witness of his/her duty to cooperate with the inquiry. If the Counselee and/or witness ultimately fail to cooperate with the EEO Counselor, the EEO Counselor must document all attempts to secure the cooperation of that uncooperative witness or Counselee in the Counseling Report and attach any documentation, such as emails, to the Report.
The EEO Counselor must control the inquiry at all times and seek guidance and assistance from the Agency.
The EEO Counselor shall write-up each interview after completion, and incorporate the information into the Counselor’s Report.
The EEO Counselor shall review and summarize all documents relevant to the claim(s) and incorporate the information into the Counselor’s Report.
If the EEO Counselor believes the inquiry is deficient procedurally, or in content or scope, he/she shall immediately notify the COR.
By the 26th day after the Counselee’s Initial contact with the Agency, if the EEO Counselor has not completed the counseling process, the EEO Counselor should contact the Counselee regarding obtaining an extension.
A Counselee may agree, in writing, to postpone the Final Interview and extend the period for pre-complaint counseling for up to or less than sixty (60) additional calendar days from the date of the Initial contact.
Any extension of counseling must be requested by the EEO Counselor to the ACP and/or COR prior to the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period.
Because timely completion of Pre-complaint counseling increases the probability of informal resolution and minimizes the negative impact that protracted inquiries have on the work environment, requests for extensions of EEO Counseling should be requested from the COR and/or ACP only in the following instances:

With the written consent of the Counselee; or
Requested by the Counselee; or
Unusual circumstances which prevented completion of the counseling inquiry during the initial thirty (30) day period, i.e., illness, travel, or emergency leave of the Counselee, a primary witness; or
When the Agency believes that informal resolution is likely or imminent, and a short additional counseling period is necessary to consummate an agreement.

The EEO Counselor should attempt to facilitate a resolution of the pre-complaint. If the Counselee and the Agency agree to an informal resolution of the dispute during the course of the EEO counseling inquiry, the terms of the informal resolution should be reduced to writing, and provided to the ACP or COR, and sent to the EEO Office for final review and approval by the EEO Office for form and compliance purposes. The EEO Counselor may not provide said document to anyone other than the ACP or COR.

If the Counselee elects to withdraw the Pre-complaint, the withdrawal must be obtained in writing using Agency-provided forms.

The EEO Counselor is responsible for submitting a final Counselor’s Report, regardless of whether the Pre-complaint is withdrawn, settled, resolved, went to ADR or is completed in any other manner, along with all paperwork gathered during the counseling process to the EEO office within three (3) days of conducting the Final Interview, within three (3) days of the conclusion of EEO Counseling, whether by final interview or otherwise, but no later than the 29th day from the Counselor’s Initial contact with the Agency, unless the Counselee has authorized an extension using Agency-provided forms. If such an extension was granted, the Counseling materials are due no later than seven (7) days before the end of the extension period.

Submit a weekly status report of all open EEO Counseling cases to the COR; or submit a status report of any and all open EEO Counseling cases upon the request of the COR in a format acceptable to the COR.

Perform EEO Counseling and have access to data related to any complaint only after providing a signed Nondisclosure Agreement for all personnel assigned under this Statement of Work.
Review all relevant personnel records and statistical data and make copies as needed for inclusion in the Counselor’s Report.

4.1 Agency and Agency Contact Person
The Contractor will be provided an Agency Contact Person (ACP) at the Indian Health Service (IHS) Diversity Management and Equal Employment Opportunity Staff (DM & EEO). The ACP is to be determined when the service is ordered and specified on the case assignment by the Agency. The ACP will make the determination of the category of the complaint. Disagreements between the Agency and the Contractor should be resolved by discussion between the ACP and the Contractor. If a modification to the original case assignment is required as a result of discussions between the ACP and the Contractor, the ACP shall revise the case assignment to reflect the agreed upon category of complaint, and send the revised case assignment to the Contractor. If disagreements cannot be resolved, the Agency reserves the right to terminate the case assignment.

If the FAD reverses a dismissed claim, the claim shall be adjudicated in the FAD or remanded for supplemental investigation, if necessary. If the Contractor believes there are procedural grounds for dismissing the entire complaint, or some of the accepted claims, the FAD should address those grounds in addition to the decision on the merits.
Each FAD must articulate the relevant facts, legal standard, and analysis with sufficient clarity so that: 1) the complainant can understand how the final decision was reached on each claim, and 2) the decision can withstand EEOC scrutiny on appeal. Following the prescribed format, the FAD must:

Instead, the complainant will be advised that compensatory damages may be available and will be provided with guidance on the procedure used for requesting, proving, and determining compensatory damage awards.

The analysis of each claim must follow established rules, regulations and legal principles and precedents. The FAD must clearly identify which theory of discrimination is being applied, i.e., disparate treatment, hostile work environment harassment, and/or adverse impact.

Background
Federal government agencies, in conjunction with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), have the responsibility to prohibit discrimination within the civil service on the basis of race, color, religion or religious accommodation, sex, national origin, age, disability or disability accommodation, genetic information, reprisal for opposition to discrimination or participation in the complaint process, and sexual orientation.
Commissioned Corps Officers of the U.S. Public Health Service are not covered under the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws or subject to the provisions of Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) §1614. However, Commissioned Corps Personnel Manual, INSTRUCTION 6, Subchapter CC26.1, “Equal Opportunity: Discrimination Complaints Processing” establishes the rights of Commissioned Corps Officers to be free from discrimination and retaliation.
Complaints of EEO discrimination alleged by employees of federal agencies or applicants for federal employment covered by Title 29 C.F.R. § 1614 and any subsequent law, statute, regulation, or directive are included within the scope of this Statement of Work (SOW). Commissioned Corps Officers of the U.S. Public Health Service covered by the Commissioned Corps Personnel Manual, INSTRUCTION 6, Subchapter CC26.1, “Equal Opportunity: Discrimination Complaints Processing” are also included within the scope of this Statement of Work.

Statement of Work (SOW)

National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

1. Title: NIH Sign Language Interpreting Services and Computer Aided Real Time Transcribing Services Performance Based Contract.

2. Background: As the world’s premier biomedical research institution, the NIH is committed to meeting the needs of staff, patients, guests and visitors who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH). The NIH uses interpreting services and Computer Aided Real Time Transcribing Services (CART) to facilitate communication for events/meetings such as work-related meetings, training sessions, safety talks, discussions on work related procedures, policies and assignments, human resources actions, conferences and any events attended by (D/HH) persons, as well patient visits and appointments. In 2008, NIH used over 21,000 hours of interpreting and CART services. Over the last five years, NIH has used an average of over 19,000 hours annually. Historically, interpreting services have increased 5 to 7 percent a year. The services are primarily performed at on- and off-campus locations. In addition to the main NIH Bethesda Campus, services may be required to be performed at other NIH locations throughout the United States. The contractor is to provide qualified interpreters and CART services to meet these requirements.

The need for a qualified interpreting services and CART contractor exists because of the continual growth, professional development, and daily work routine of the D/HH employees, NIH guests and patients. There are also a number of “open to the public” events regularly scheduled. The NIH currently provides interpreting and CART services through a centrally-funded and managed performance based contract.

The NIH has established under the Office of the Director (OD), Office of Research Services (ORS), Division of Amenities and Transportation Services (DATS) a Program Management Team to oversee these requirements and services provided to our customers through this contract. This team consists of the Program Manager, a Federal Government employee in the DATS who is responsible for oversight and management of the contract. In addition, DATS has one full-time and one part-time Quality Assurance Specialist to assist in handling the day to day operations and surveillance of the contract as well as resolve any issues that may arise.

3. Project Objectives: The DATS Program Management Team will maintain primary responsibility and oversight of the contract. This SOW is for functional and technical assistance in this effort. This one year Performance Based Service Contract with four (4) option years will be to provide interpreting and CART services to the NIH. NIH is requesting qualified offeror’s to respond to the tasks described in this SOW.

4. Scope: The NIH employs approximately 30,000 persons of which an estimated 100 are self-identified as D/HH employees, but also numerous events that are open to the public, scientific and research symposiums, patients, patient visitors, contractors, etc. who are located primarily on the NIH Bethesda Campus but at our leased facilities throughout Montgomery County, MD as well. There is an expectation that this number of D/HH employees will grow by 1 to 2 % each year. NIH employees are also located in Frederick, Baltimore, North Carolina, and Montana and in other parts of the United States where there is/may be a need to provide interpreting and CART services to employees and guests. On an individual or case by case basis, the NIH will make prior arrangements with the contractor to reimburse for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the interpreter (i.e., mileage, parking, tolls, lodging) in accordance with U.S. Government/NIH travel regulations if the interpreting or CART request is not in an NIH recognized duty station. Interpreting services are used principally for meetings, which can include supervisory-employee meetings, training classes, etc. Interpreting and CART services are also needed for patient consultations, lectures and special events, which include, but are not limited to, a large gathering of persons which may include D/HH persons (i.e., symposiums, conferences, lectures etc.) In addition, any activities sponsored by NIH involving government employees, patients, guests, and visitors in accordance with the guidance found in the NIH Manual Issuance – 2204 Reasonable Accommodations http://www1.od.nih.gov/oma/manualchapters/management/2204/2204.pdf Section J: Sign Language Interpreting Services may also require interpreting and CART services.

USAID/Haiti’s Industry Day is designed to assist prospective bidders in successfully competing on USAID activities.

Description

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Head Start, through the Program Support Center (PSC), has a requirement to procure twelve (12) Regional Training and Technical Assistance contracts that will provide local grantees with high-quality, sustained, and intensive training and technical assistance that, “to the maximum extent practicable, ” improves the capacity of local programs to deliver services that, at a minimum, meet or exceed the priority areas described in section 641 (A)(a)(1): correction of findings identified through the federal monitoring system; school readiness; and, training/professional development needs of staff.

The twelve ACF Regions include the following states and entities:

• Region 1 – Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont
• Region 2 – New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands
• Region 3 – Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia
• Region 4 – Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee
• Region 5 – Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin
• Region 6 – Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
• Region 7 – Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska
• Region 8 – Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming
• Region 9 – Arizona, California, Nevada, and Hawaii/Outer Pacific (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Republic of Palau)
• Region 10 – Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington
• Region 11 -American Indian/Alaska Native grantees in 26 states across the country
• Region 12 – Migrant and Seasonal grantees in 37 states across the country

Each ACF Region will include several Early Childhood (EC) Specialists, with the number of EC Specialists proportionate with the number of grantees and delegates within that region. The work of these specialists will be directed toward two of the three priority areas: school readiness and the training/career development needs of teaching staff.

The Early Childhood (EC) Specialist position requires a minimum of a BA or BS Degree, with a preference for a Master’s degree. The degrees for at least 75% of the EC Specialists must be in Early Childhood Education/Development or related field. If the highest degree was awarded more than ten years ago, the resume should be specific regarding courses, conferences, seminars attended that ensure the specialist remains current in the field of early childhood education/development.

Individuals proposed as ECs who are infant toddler specialists must have a minimum of a BA or BS Degree, with a preference for a Master’s degree, in Early Childhood Education/Development with coursework specific to infant and toddler development.

EC Specialists must have a minimum of 5 years’ experience in programs for young children with a preference for experience spanning the birth to five continuum. This experience should include the provision of training and technical assistance to teachers/home visitors and/or education managers in early childhood programs.

The experience of EC Specialists who are infant toddler specialists must include experience with programs serving infants and toddlers. This experience must include the provision of training and technical assistance to teachers, home visitors, family child care providers, and/or education managers.

The experience should include experience related to supporting family engagement and/or family wellbeing.

Individuals proposed as birth to five specialists must have experience across the birth to five spectrum.

All EC Specialists must obtain CLASS certification before providing TTA to grantees related to CLASS.

In addition, the government is seeking to secure the services of several Grantee Specialists for each region. These specialists will be deployed by the regional office to work on the third priority area: deficiencies identified through the monitoring system. In regions with few grantees with identified deficiencies, the grantee specialists may also be deployed to work with grantees with multiple areas of noncompliance, grantees with concerns raised through risk management meetings, or with grantees about which concerns have been raised though other data sources, such as the Program Information Report (PIR).

The Grantee Specialist position requires a BA or BS Degree, with a preference for a Master’s degree. A minimum of 5 years of experience related to program design and management of fiscal operations in or with Head Start/Early Head Start programs and the development and implementation of comprehensive management systems.

In each region, there will be a TTA Coordinator who will work with federal personnel to coordinate the work of the various states and provide ongoing supervision of TTA staff. The TTA Coordinator will also be responsible for the implementation of quality assurance processes to ensure the appropriate provision of TTA and contract deliverables.

The TTA Coordinator position requires a BA or BS Degree, with a preference for a Master’s degree in a field related to program design and management. A minimum of 7 years’ experience is required with 10 years preferred. This experience must include at least 3 years with the provision of high level technical assistance and consultation to Head Start programs; 3-5 years of progressive supervisory/management experience with a preference for experience managing remote-located staff/teams; and expertise and experience in budget oversight and management.

The place of performance for all contract staff, with the exception of the TTA Coordinator who will be located in the Regional Office, will be at a physical location within a state in the region for which the awarded contract is providing services. To provide economies of scale, the use of home offices is strongly encouraged. Virtual offices may not be substituted for a physical presence in the region.

Services may be provided off-site, on-site, through virtual media, or a combination thereof. Other places of performance include, but are not limited to, contractor physical locations, Head Start grantee facilities, hotel meeting rooms, ACF Regional Offices, at third-party sponsored conferences and other locations throughout the U.S.

Twelve cost-reimbursement type contracts will be awarded for a 12 month base period and four 12 month option periods for a total of 60 months. Responses to the Request for Proposal package will be due within 60 calendar days following the actual date of issuance of the RFP. Award of this requirement is anticipated by June 30, 2015. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.

The Government intends to conduct a FAR Part 15 acquisition.

SECTION C – STATEMENT OF WORK

SECTION C1

INTRODUCTION

C1.1 SCOPE. The Cherry Point Windsock, hereafter the Windsock, is the authorized, unofficial publication of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina (MCAS Cherry Point). As such, its contents do not necessarily reflect the official views of, nor constitute an endorsement by, the Department of Defense (DoD). The Windsock is a civilian enterprise (CE) newspaper, published by a CE contractor (hereafter referred to as the “Publisher”) under contract with MCAS Cherry Point. As such, the Windsock contains advertising sold by the Publisher, and may contain supplements or inserts. The Publisher sells advertising to cover costs and secure earnings. Other advertising provisions are contained in this Statement of Work (SOW). The Publisher also provides personnel to aid and support the Windsock staff to support newspaper operations as stipulated in this SOW. The Windsock is published 50 times per year with a circulation of 11,500. It is a key medium in the Commander’s internal information program and is used to communicate mission-essential information to members of the command, including Marines, Sailors, civilian employees, and family members. A typical issue of the Windsock contains most, if not all, of the following elements: command, Marine Corps and Department of Defense news/features, Commander’s comments; letters to the editor; editorials; commentaries; features; sports; entertainment items; Marine Corps Community Services news and announcements; installation and local community news briefs and announcements; photography; line art and classified advertisements. The Publisher may provide material for use in the newspaper if approved by the Commander, or Public Affairs Officer (PAO) as the Commander’s representative.

Priority for story publication will be determined by the PAO, but generally will be laid out by the Publisher in the following order: local (on-base) news including news briefs, local (on-base) features, local (on-base and regional) announcements, Corps-wide news and features, especially those that might be of interest to local Marines. Publisher will design and lay out all pages in accordance with theEditors‘ SOP, which will be provided by the PAO. PAO will have oversight and final decision on all copy and design layouts.

C1.2.1 To enhance the quality of life for military and civilian personnel serving and living at Cherry Point by providing news and information that is informative, educational and entertaining.

C1.2.2 To provide a forum for individuals to express opinions concerning relevant matters, thought-provoking ideas, tasteful and colorful humor; and to provide a place for the submission of advertisements free of charge as described elsewhere in this contract.

R — Commercial Capital Assessment Projections DU100R-2015-032 011215 Rachel.N.Wilson Rachel.N.Wilson, Contract Specialist, Phone 202-402-4284, Fax 202-401-2032, Email rachel.n.wilson@hud.gov COMMERCIAL CAPITAL ASSESSMENT PROJECTIONS (CCAP)
This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability and capability of qualified small businesses (including certified 8(a), Small Disadvantaged, HUBZone firms; veteran and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and women-owned small businesses) to provide analytical and related services to provide an internal view of the General and Special Risk Insurance Fund (GI/SRI) and a small portion of the Mutual Mortgage Fund (MMI) (to be included in references to the GI/SRI fund) and assist the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to manage the risk of its portfolio of insured mortgage loans. The internal view and risk management is expected to be provided and accomplished by the contractor through a series of risk management and financial reports to be known as Commercial Capital Assessment Projections (CCAP).

BACKGROUND: Transactions associated with the FHA’s guarantee programs for commercial (commercial includes multifamily apartment complexes, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living residences, Board and Care facilities) mortgages are recorded in an account of the federal government known as the GI/SRI. FHA has insured over 45,000 million mortgages through the GI/SRI since 1970 of which over 13,000 are currently active. Aggregate insurance in force was $90 billion as of 9/30/14. Cash flows on these insurance policies result from both FHA’s insurance operations and from transactions mandated by federal credit reform. Aggregate GI/SRI cash flows and performance measures are reported monthly.

The CCAP will have a monthly operating cycle. New input data from FHA and other appropriate sources will be updated each month or as needed for special projects principally at the direction of the Office of Management and Budget. (Information drawn from FHA is the transfer of data the contractor might need from FHA. This pertains specifically to the FHA data subject to the GI/SRI Funds for which CCAP is requesting portfolio, valuation and risk modeling. The data and frequency FHA will execute the transfers to the contractor will depend of what kind of data the contractor will need from FHA. It is anticipated these data will be transferred on a regular basis preferably monthly.) Differences between previously forecast and subsequent actual values will be evaluated for out-of -tolerance outcomes and adjustments to models will be made where appropriate. New reports and forecasts will be generated after the current accuracy and reliability of CCAP components has been established.

The model shall provide a sound and effective risk management to RMCAP in accordance with principles and standards such as those established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (AB-2013-07-Model-Risk-Management-Guidance) and The Federal Reserve Board and The Comptroller of the Currency (Supervisory Guidance on Model Risk Management). This is to also to develop, document, operate and manage the RMCAP in accordance with all applicable OMB Circulars (A-11, A-123 and A-129 (OMB Circulars)), and all applicable Federal Accounting and Audit Standards (FASAB Handbook).

Requirements Description
Performance Objectives:

Task Objectives:

1. Analyze the content of appropriate FHA information systems to identify the data elements needed to best achieve each of CCAP’s objectives and work with FHA personnel and contractors to develop, implement and operate processes to transfer that information to CCAP.

2. Provide risk measurement and monitoring information. Intended use: accurately and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of monthly deviations between contractual, budgeted and actual GI/SRI loan performance and the risks causing those deviations (prepayments, delinquencies, claims, losses, recoveries, etc.) by risk category, cohort, portfolio and other appropriate aggregates by: (a) calculating monthly loan level contractual and actual loan performance measures for the FHA commercial portfolios; (b) allocating the differences by type of risk expressed as dollars, as a percent of contractual or budgeted cash flows, and as conditional and cumulative performance measures rates (performance measures include default, claim, and prepayment rates).

3. Provide information placing risk in historical perspective. Intended use: accurately and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of the position in historical context of each monthly aggregate deviation between contractual, budgeted and actual GI/SRI cash flows by type of risk by calculating the percentile position (or other appropriate measure) of each monthly deviation to its historical distribution.

4. Provide property disposition information. Intended use: accurately and reliably inform FHA decision-makers of historical and probable future note and property-level net proceeds by probability (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% and 99%) and method of disposition.

5. Provide probable future cash flows from outstanding insurance-in-force. Intended use: for outstanding endorsements on a monthly basis: reliably and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of future monthly undiscounted cash flows by probability (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% and 99%) for each cohort and other appropriate aggregate by line item on the cash activity report taking into analytic account probable future economic environments and the probable loan-level deviations from contractual cash flows expected to result from those environments.

6. Estimate the performance of the loan risk categories, cohorts and portfolios used to generate the guaranty liability. Intended use: as a component of FHA’s financial statements as of each October 31st. FHA’s loan guaranty liability is part of its annual financial statements which are targeted for completion at or soon after mid-November.

7. Provide probable future risk category, cohort, portfolio insurance-in-force cash flows (beginning with the cash flows provided by the Cash Flow Team) and performance measures. Intended use: on a monthly basis for the next seven risk categories, cohorts, portfolios: reliably and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of predicted insurance-in-force and monthly undiscounted cash flows and performance measures by probability (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% and 99%) by taking into analytic account probable future economic environments and the probable loan-level deviations from contractual cash flows expected to result from those environments.

8. Provide capital ratio monitoring. Intended use: on a monthly basis, accurately and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of (a) the level and trend of compliance with the GI/SRI’s target capital ratio and (b) the probable future compliance with the GI/SRI’s target capital ratio by: calculating capital ratios for the commercial risk categories, cohorts, portfolios, individually and collectively, and for the GI/SRI fund by dividing the valuations provided by the cash flow team the Cash Flow Team by the corresponding values of insurance-in-force.

9. Provide menu-driven policy analyses. Intended use: (a) on a monthly basis, accurately and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of the levels and trends of selected performance indicators (credit subsidy rate, delinquency rate, claim rate, loss rate, firm commitment volume, endorsement volume etc.) over the appropriate ranges of historical underwriting criteria, servicers, servicing and property disposition practices and cross-tabulations thereof by risk category, cohort, portfolio, program and other appropriate aggregates; and, (b) accurately and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of the impacts of changes in selected historical loan performance indicators (credit subsidy rate, delinquency rate, claim rate, loss rate, firm commitment volume, endorsement volume etc.) that would have resulted from changes in the historical ranges of selected underwriting criteria, servicers, servicing and property disposition practices and cross-tabulations thereof by risk category, cohort, portfolio and other appropriate aggregates.

10. Provide policy analyses requiring new or extended methods, models and/or estimation. Intended use: (a) as needed, provide expert analytic services to adapt the CCAP software to accurately and appropriately inform FHA decision-makers of the probable impacts (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% and 99%) of adopting new underwriting criteria, Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) changes, servicing, eligibility requirements, loan size criteria, new program specifications or other proposed program changes and property disposition practices on selected performance indicators (credit subsidy rate, delinquency rate, claim rate, refinance rate, loss rate, firm commitment volume, endorsement volume etc.) including cross-tabulations of new and existing criteria and practices by risk category, cohort, portfolio and other appropriate aggregates; (b) compare the projected performance to the pre-change historical performance; (c) where appropriate, add the analyses to the array of menu-driven policy analyses such that they can be rerun and downloaded after updating inputs but without additional contract labor effort.

11. Provide information for annual report. Intended use: (a) annually, using results generated by achieving Objective 7 as of October 31st, summarize the level and trend of GI/SRI valuations and the GI/SRI capital ratio together with probable future valuations and capital ratios for the next seven fiscal years in one or more formats appropriate to FHA’s Report to Congress; and, (b) provide expert analytic services to summarize and explain the data and trends, the general risks to the forecast and the specific risks to the GI/SRI valuations and capital ratios. FHA generally completes its Report to Congress between mid-November and mid-December of each year.

12. Provide budget performance estimates and re-estimates. Intended use: enhance FHA’s ability to effectively and efficiently achieve GI/SRI policy goals at minimal risk to taxpayers and to comply with GI/SRI capital ratio requirements by: (a) adapting information and models produced to achieve Objectives 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 to accurately and reliably estimate probable credit subsidy rates and probable firm commitment and endorsement volumes for budget risk category, cohort, portfolios and corresponding re-estimates for outstanding risk category, cohort, portfolios and inform FHA decision-makers of their probable impacts on GI/SRI capital resources and the need for mandatory appropriations; (b) estimate the probable performance measures rates which correspond to probable credit subsidy rates; (c) estimate the probable impacts of the prescribed economic assumptions on probable GI/SRI performance measures and other key variables and, as needed, provide analytic support for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of deviations from prescribed budget practices; and, (d) provide all budgetary materials in the formats prescribed by the OMB.

13. Provide report storage and retrieval. Intended use: each report and similar output and its supporting data will be organized by the contractor for electronic storage with efficient, user friendly query and retrieval capabilities.

14. Provide reports and inquiry capability currently available in the OPIIS (Online Property Integrated Information Suite) model and tool. Intended Use: To provide HUD/Housing available information reports on commercial property risk assessment for HUD Headquarters and the HUD Field Offices. Currently OPIIS does not contain reports for the 232 and 242 programs. The Base Year will include adding reports for the 232 and 242 programs reports and modifying reports. Currently the OPPIS model contains approximately 50 reports and online views consisting of commercial property FHA-insured loans consisting of insured loan portfolio data such as insurance-n-force, location, units, number of buildings, financial statements, vacancy rates, risk assessment of default, etc.

15. CCAP must provide the similar services offered in OPIIS:
a. Provide access to approximately 2,000 HUD/Housing/FHA users nationwide including US Territories;

b. Help Desk with phone number and email for questions from field and HUD Headquarters;

c. In addition to the existing reports in OPIIS being replicated in the Base Year, up to 12 new reports will be developed in CCAP;

d. Business and model support on HUD at work website including updated DED updates, training, etc.;

e. Provide full day to day operation and maintenance;

f. New tool development or enhancement similar to develop of Property Review Template tool on an as-needed basis. The model changes are more service-provider driven than HUD driven and therefore the service provider must update changes on mutually agreed upon timeframes;

g. Model and Tool documentation;

h. Model and Tool user support hours will be provided each year and in what format,

i. Fully document, test, and implement any new data additions and changes to models, tools and database(s). Contractor will be responsible for new script development to support model, tool and database changes and additions;

j. Ad-hoc data requests – up to 12 per month – be handled for data requests from Sr. Management, program areas, Capitol Hill, etc.;

Technical objectives:

1. Simplicity: to help manage operational risk, each CCAP task objective must be achieved by the simplest methods available for the required accuracy and reliability. The processes by which the CCAP produces information to inform FHA decision-makers must be comprehensible by mortgage insurance practitioners.

2. Efficiency: to ensure maximum timeliness of the information produced by CCAP and to help ensure that project and budget development deadlines are met, the total elapsed time between the availability of required inputs to CCAP and the availability of decision-ready reports must be minimized without degrading the reliability, precision or other qualitative aspects of the information.

3. Model risk management: each CCAP task objective must be achieved within a provided framework effectively designed to manage model risk to within tolerable levels.

4. Transparency: each component of the CCAP must be adequately documented so as to: (1) prevent key person or contractor dependency; (2) enable proper operation; (3) facilitate independent review with minimal assistance; and, (4) reduce risk when report or model is changed.

5. Credibility: all information produced by each CCAP component must be authoritatively credible as evidenced by professional acceptance as best practices of the methods used to produce the information and the recognized expertise of the subject matter expert in the fields of financial analysis and modeling, financial risk management, mortgage analytics and mortgage insurance and as required by FHA, OMB or other governmental standards.

6. Inputs: all risk measurement and model assumptions and data must be appropriate, accurate and complete.

7. Processes: all processes must be conceptually valid, logically consistent and conform to then current best practices; all code must be verified to the corresponding theory and mathematics.

8. Outputs: all information generated by the CCAP must include a brief, thorough and comprehensible assessment of its accuracy and reliability. Such assessments will include monthly comparisons of predicted and actual outcomes to ensure that differences remain within tolerances.

9. Loan guaranty liability: all inputs, processes and estimates of loan guaranty liability must conform to all accounting and audit standards and other authoritative pronouncements applicable to FHA and conform to concepts and guidance provided by the OMB.

Program Objectives:

1. Ownership: FHA must own and be in a format acceptable to HUD, effective ownership and possession, such as through a custodian, of all versions of the CCAP processes, models, reports, data and related documentation at the end of each business day and the end of the contract term. Required to host the models, tools and data in a secure location acceptable to FHA.

2. Compliance: each CCAP component must at all times be fully compliant with all applicable laws, regulations, circulars, accounting and audit standards and related guidance and other authoritative pronouncements. must provide documentary evidence of authoritative knowledge and successful experience at designing, developing, testing, documenting, implementing, operating and maintaining financial risk measurement, econometric, statistical forecasting and management models to applicable federal standards.

3. Independent validation: all CCAP risk management and financial models must be independently validated to determine whether results accurately meet the requirements of their intended use and are reasonable for use as determined by FHA. Each validation will test whether model results can be replicated reliably by an independently developed parallel model constructed from model documentation only.

4. Computing and related capacity: CCAP must be supported by enough computer hardware, software, personnel related resources to facilitate achievement of its efficiency objective. This includes updating documentation and reporting requirements in a timely manner.

USAID DR Deputy Health Office Chief
STATEMENT OF WORK/ How to apply

I. Introduction
USAID/Dominican Republic (DR) is seeking a Health Team Leader to provide technical and supervisory leadership to the health team comprised of 1 US Direct Hire and 4 FSNs managing an annual portfolio of over $7 million in PEPFAR HIV/AIDS funding. The Team Leader will be the focal point on Health issues for the Mission and will report to and support the USAID General Development Officer, a U.S. direct hire who will provide general supervision and oversight of the Social Sector Program portfolio which includes Health and Education. The Health Team Leader will contribute to the establishment of overall program priorities and work assignments, development of strategies, program and project designs, and scopes of work, as well as provide technical guidance and support to CORs and AORs in project implementation. S/he will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment and will have formal decision-making authority in broad program areas consistent with USAID policies, goals, and strategies. S/he will interact with the highest level of government and represent USAID and the US Government in official settings.
II. Background
The Dominican Republic has transitioned to upper middle income country status which presents a variety of challenges in light of the paradigm shift from the traditional conceptualization of development support. The Mission strategy is focused on helping the Dominican Republic to Improve Citizen Security and prevention and management of HIV/AIDS infection is a key component of the strategy. The Health Team is in process of revising traditional development approaches to better respond and support the shift in needs of a new upper middle income country which is facing the challenges of key vulnerable populations existing in fragile states of poverty and outside of the safety net. Additionally as the conditions in the DR continue to improve, responsibility for management and sustainability of activities is shifting to the government and NGO counterparts. Within this context USAID is also challenged with accomplishing its goals with declining budget support.

Country Overview:
The HIV prevalence in the Dominican Republic appears to have stabilized between 0.8-1.1 percent in the general population. In 2010, there were an estimated 48, 550 people living with HIV/AIDS in the Dominican Republic. The HIV epidemic in the Dominican Republic disproportionately affects specific key populations including Men that Have Sex with Men (MSM) with an HIV prevalence of 6.1%, Female Sex Workers (FSW) 4.8%, residents of bateyes (sugar plantations) and typically characterized by extreme poverty, of Haitian descent 3.2%, and women with less than four years of education, 2.3%. Approximately 70% of new infections occur among young women. In addition to vulnerability to HIV disease, these groups are also disproportionately affected by stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence.

The 2008 Stigma Index indicates that people with HIV living in the Dominican Republic continue to be affected by high rates of stigma and discrimination. For example, nearly a quarter of respondents reported having their human rights violated while 10% reported having been refused a job as a result of their HIV status. According to the 2007 DHS, only 15.2% of men and 23.5% of women expressed accepting attitudes towards people living with HIV. Furthermore, HIV+ FSW, MSM, or other vulnerable populations are victim to multiple forms of stigma and discrimination. High rates of stigma and discrimination are an important social barrier preventing people from accessing testing and counseling services. Addressing these vulnerabilities is critical to a successful and comprehensive HIV response.

According to the 2007 DHS, 9.7% of women aged 15 – 49 experienced physical violence and 10.1% experienced sexual violence. Of those who had experienced sexual violence, 38.5% had their first experience before the age of 20, with 6.5% of respondents stating they were younger than 10 years old when they first experienced sexual violence. In addition, these marginalized groups are at greater risk of homophobia and sex trafficking. Recent trends indicate that both the rate and intensity of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) are increasing.

Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, USAID has supported the Government of the Dominican Republic and local organizations to strengthen the HIV response. Historically, most of this support has been funneled through international institutions with a focus on service delivery rather than sustainability. The Dominican Republic has been able to scale-up HIV care and treatment services and slow the spread of HIV by rigorously implementing evidence-based prevention strategies like the 100% Condom Campaign targeting commercial sex workers. Meanwhile, many organizations have strengthened their institutional capacity; maturing from support groups to service delivery organizations and from civil society groups quoting the evidence to institutions creating the evidence. Leveraging this emerging local capacity reflects commitment to investing in local organizations in order to strengthen the comprehensive response to HIV and ensure sustainability.

Haiti:
The complex relationship between the Dominican Republic and Haiti is reflective of a history of highly uneven development. There are an estimated 1,000,000 Haitians, including documented and undocumented immigrants, many living in extreme poverty, throughout the Dominican Republic. Numerous Haitians migrate to the DR seeking jobs, health care and a better life. For example, a significant number of women travel from Haiti to give birth in public hospitals in the Dominican Republic, returning to Haiti after delivery. It has been estimated in hospitals supported by USAID that between 20-35% of the patients delivering are Haitian and at the border areas this number rises to upwards of 70%. Additionally HIV prevalence Haiti is estimated to be twice as high as the DR. There is also considerable movement between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which is especially exacerbated by the porous border. The January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the temporary movement of a large number of Haitians into the Dominican Republic further demonstrated the strong connectivity of issues across the island and a need for partnership. The Health Team Leader will be the focal point on Health issues for the Mission and will report to and support the USAID General Development Officer, a U.S. direct hire who will provide general supervision and oversight to the Health and Education teams. The Health Team Leader will contribute to the establishment of overall program priorities and work assignments, development of strategies, program and project designs, and scopes of work, as well as provide technical guidance and support to COTRs and AOTRs in project implementation. S/he will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment and will have formal decision-making authority in broad program areas consistent with USAID policies, goals, and strategies. S/he will interact with the highest level of government and represent USAID and the US Government in official settings. S/he must be able to think and operate strategically and programmatically, analyzing complex situations in order to assist in the development of USAID strategic plans and programs, and assessing the impact of host country policies and practices on USAID programs. S/he will work in collaboration with members of the Health Team to achieve programmatic objectives. The incumbent will advise, collaborate and work with the health team in the planning, formulating, implementing, and monitoring and evaluating of health activities and strategies.

USAID DR Deputy Health Office Chief
STATEMENT OF WORK/ How to apply

I. Introduction
USAID/Dominican Republic (DR) is seeking to fill the position of Deputy Health Office Chief to provide technical and supervisory leadership to the health team comprised of 1 US Direct Hire, 1 Personal Services Contractor and 5 FSNs managing an annual portfolio of over $7 million in PEPFAR HIV/AIDS funding. The incumbent will be responsible for HIV/AIDS issues for the Mission and will report to and support the USAID Health Office Chief, a U.S. direct hire who will provide general supervision and oversight of the Health Program portfolio. The Deputy Health Office Chief will contribute to the establishment of overall program priorities and work assignments, development of strategies, program and project designs, and scopes of work, as well as provide technical guidance and support to CORs and AORs in project implementation. S/he will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment and will have formal decision-making authority in broad program areas consistent with USAID policies, goals, and strategies. Under the direction and guidance of the Chief of the Health Office, s/he will interact with the highest level of the Dominican government and represent USAID and the US Government in official settings.

II. Background
The Dominican Republic has transitioned to upper lower middle income country status which presents a variety of challenges in light of the paradigm shift from the traditional conceptualization of development support. The Mission strategy is focused on helping the Dominican Republic to Improve Citizen Security and on prevention and management of HIV/AIDS infections which is a key component of the strategy. The Health Team is in the process of revising traditional development approaches to better respond and support the shift in needs of a new upper middle income country which is facing the challenges of key and vulnerable populations existing in fragile states of poverty and outside of the safety net. Additionally as the conditions in the DR continue to improve, responsibility for management and sustainability of activities is shifting to the government and NGO counterparts. Within this context, USAID is also challenged with accomplishing its goals with declining budget support.
The PEPFAR program is based on a country team approach of U.S. government agencies which includes the Centers for Disease Control, the Department of Defense, the Peace Corps, and the Agency for International Development. The Deputy Health Office Director will be closely involved in planning, collaborating , and negotiating with these agencies to manage the overall activities under this joint program as defined by the overall yearly Country Operational Plan (COP).

Country Overview:
The HIV prevalence in the Dominican Republic is 0.8 percent in the general population (DHS 2013). The 2013 Spectrum model estimates approximately 43,700 persons living with HIV. Of persons newly diagnosed with HIV, approximately 50 percent of men and 35 percent of women have an AIDS defining condition [Ministry of Health (MOH), 2013]. As of January 2014, there were 25,232 (45.6 percent male, median age-41) persons receiving clinical follow-up in one of 77 treatment facilities, of which 18,539 (73.5 percent) were on anti-retroviral treatment (ART). Stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence (GBV) marginalize those affected and create barriers to their ability to access needed HIV prevention, care and treatment services.

The epidemic disproportionately affects specific Key Populations such as commercial sex workers (CSW), Men who Have Sex with Men (MSM), and Injecting Drug Users (DU). HIV seroprevalence among key populations (2012 Behavioral Surveillance Survey) is higher than in the general population. Other Targeted Vulnerable Groups such as residents of bateyes, mobile populations, at-risk youth, at-risk teenage girls and at-risk young women, and HIV pregnant women and their infants also have high infection rates (DHS 2013).

Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, USAID has supported the Government of the Dominican Republic and local organizations to strengthen the HIV response. Historically, most of this support has been funneled through international institutions with a focus on service delivery rather than sustainability. The Dominican Republic has been able to scale-up HIV care and treatment services and slow the spread of HIV by rigorously implementing evidence-based prevention strategies like the 100% Condom Campaign targeting commercial sex workers. Meanwhile, many organizations have strengthened their institutional capacity; maturing from support groups to service delivery organizations. Leveraging this emerging local capacity reflects commitment to investing in local organizations in order to strengthen the comprehensive response to HIV and ensure sustainability.

The complex relationship between the Dominican Republic and Haiti is reflective of a history of highly uneven development. There are an estimated 1,000, 000 Haitians, including documented and undocumented immigrants, many living in extreme poverty, throughout the Dominican Republic. Numerous Haitians migrate to the DR seeking jobs, health care and a better life. For example, a significant number of women travel from Haiti to give birth in public hospitals in the Dominican Republic, returning to Haiti after delivery. It has been estimated in hospitals supported by USAID that between 20-35% of the patients delivering are Haitian and at the border areas this number rises to upwards of 70%. Additionally HIV prevalence in Haiti is estimated to be twice as high as in the DR. There is also considerable movement between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which is especially exacerbated by the porous border. The January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the temporary movement of a large number of Haitians into the Dominican Republic further demonstrated the strong connectivity of issues across the island and a need for partnership.

The Deputy Health Office Chief will be mainly responsible for HIV/AIDS issues for the Mission and will report to and support the USAID Health Office Chief, a U.S. direct hire who will provide general supervision and oversight to the Health team. The Deputy Health Office Chief will contribute to the establishment of overall program priorities and work assignments, development of strategies, program and project designs, and scopes of work, as well as provide technical guidance and support to CORs and AORs in project implementation. S/he will have wide latitude for the exercise of independent judgment and will have formal decision-making authority in broad program areas consistent with USAID policies, goals, and strategies. S/he will interact with the highest level of the Dominican government and represent USAID and the US Government in official settings. S/he must be able to think and operate strategically and programmatically, analyzing complex situations in order to assist in the development of USAID strategic plans and programs, and assessing the impact of host country policies and practices on USAID programs. S/he will work in collaboration with members of the Health Team to achieve programmatic objectives.
