Q -- Health and Wellness Event Planning Services

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. This is not a request for quotes (RFQ), invitation for bid (IFB), request for proposal (RFP), request for application (RFA) or an announcement of a solicitation and does not assume the government will award a contract or proceed with any of the above solicitations in the near future. This notice is for market research purposes only. Federal Occupational Health Service (FOHS) provides comprehensive occupational health (OH) services to federal agencies throughout the federal government. The FOHS mission is to improve the health and safety of the government workforce by designing and providing innovative, customized, cost-effective occupational health, environmental and work/life solutions that exceed customer expectations. In keeping with this mission, the Clinical Division of FOHS provides a full range of health fair services. On occasion FOHS needs assistance from a contractor when coordinating larger health fairs. This assistance would include: attending meetings with agency prior to fair to determine specific needs; arranging on behalf of agency any specific permits necessary for fair; assisting with exhibit set up on the day of the fair; meetings with agency after fair. In addition to these services, the contractor may be asked to bring in vendors to perform screenings for bone density, glucose, cholesterol, and other wellness laboratory tests. Currently, the health fairs are only in the Washington, D.C. Metro region, but may extend to other surrounding states. Contractor would not be responsible for the procurement of tents, tables, or generators for health fairs; this will be the responsibility of the sponsoring agency. However, contractor would need to make recommendations to the agency as to quantity of these items needed for the fair well in advance, no less than 90 days prior to date of fair. Some health fairs may require special clearances or permits, which could include road closures. Contractor will need to be well versed in this process and be able to attend necessary meetings to accomplish this task on behalf of the sponsoring agency.
