REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Human Capital Program Development. Procurement of an Organizational Culture Survey and Technical and Analytical Support Service to Aid DLA in the Analysis of Survey Response - 2.1 This is a Request for Information (RFI). This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. This request for information (RFI) is issued for the purpose of obtaining knowledge and information for project planning purposes. Human Capital Program Development (J12) is requesting information relative to an upcoming procurement of an Organizational Culture Survey. The information provided by vendors will be used to: (1) determine the commercial availability of the proposed services; (2) determine the capabilities of offerors to provide the Analytical and Technical Support outlined in the Draft Statement of Work (See Attachment #1); and (3) develop an the Acquisition Strategy if adequate response is received. BACKGROUND The DLA Culture Survey, administered by DLA Human Resources (J1), is the only enterprise-wide assessment of the DLA workforce that assesses organizational culture. This survey effort provides vital metrics to assess DLA's ability to make progress toward and meet its strategic goals, both at the enterprise and activity level. The influence of organizational culture is very strong. It can be either a driver of, or a barrier to, the implementation of strategic objectives. Organizational culture drives employee motivation and problems can arise when there is a discrepancy between what an organization strives to achieve and employees' assumptions and beliefs. High culture scores are correlated to a number of positive performance indicators. The results, which are benchmarked with other private and public organizations, are used to inform workforce planning and other talent management initiatives to ensure that DLA is able to recruit, select, develop, and retain an agile workforce with the capabilities to meet our current and future mission requirements. Using longitudinal data helps the agency look at where they have been and where they are going. These are some of the reasons why DLA is seeking information on an acquisition of an Organizational Culture Model and Survey program. DLA has completed seven administrations of the DLA Culture Survey using the Denison Organizational Culture Model and Survey as the assessment tool. These surveys provide vital metrics to assess DLA's ability to make progress toward and meet its strategic human capital goals. Because of the importance of the DLA Culture Survey and its high visibility across the agency, DLA needs a Contractor with a proven method of successfully delivering an online survey (and on paper as needed) to a large, geographically distributed workforce. This request for quote is seeking information for a similar or better program that could provide successful results for DLA.
