INVITATION TO DUE DILIGENCE

This letter is an advance notice that the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal

Acquisition Service (FAS) Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in November 2018. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide services in support of the Military OneSource program, a commercial Employee

Assistance Program (EAP) for military members and their families. This program provides members of the Armed Forces and their families, about 5.2 million participants at locations worldwide, with a broad array of information and referrals to both military and civilian resources as well as counseling services.

A draft version of the RFP (titled “Advance Notice”) and draft versions of Attachments 1 through 25 are provided with this notice. These documents are subject to change. Please note that neither the release of these documents nor the hosting of Due Diligence sessions obligates the

Government in any way to release an official solicitation nor to award a contract.

RFP and on the documents provided as part of this notice. During the Due Diligence session the
