1. Is there a process or approach in place to measure current state for DEIA? Does your strategy already incorporate Equity and Accessibility?
EO 14035 requires federal agencies to assess the current state of DEIA and submit their findings in 100 days. To assist federal agencies with this preliminary assessment, agencies will be provided with an assessment template, baseline data, and learning opportunities.
1. Are there existing training programs that are expected t be used? Or are we able to suggest learning that meets current needs?
Agencies have DEIA training and curriculum in place and under development but as stated in the notice, the awardee to any future contract will be expected to provide subject matter expertise to agencies to help them develop and/or enhance existing DEIA training programs, this may include, but is not limited to information sessions and answering questions
1. Are you imagining documentation of progress and completion of tasks where all of OPM is on one system?
The requirement associated with the Implementation of Executive Order 14035 will be pertinent to all agencies within the United States and therefore the above question is not understood nor able to be answered at this time.
1. From the table it seems like administration plays the prominent role, potentially more an important role than Subject Matter Expertise, training, assessment, consulting. Am I misreading that?
