Background/Purpose

The Indian Health Service Worker Wellbeing and Resiliency workgroup seeks to develop digital stories to support an IHS-specific worker resiliency campaign. Creating digital stories aims to share experiences, build community, relate, remember, and heal. These stories are developed with respect and humility for the power creating, telling and sharing a story holds. Because the nature of storytelling is integrated into the AI/AN culture, the vendor must be Native American, familiar with the AI/AN culture, and capable of facilitating the program in a manner that is protective and culturally responsive.

AI/AN cultural practices have a strong history of healing and an important role in employee health and well-being. Storytelling is an important aspect of culture where life lessons and histories are carried on with tradition and respect.

This project aims to collect and produce ten (10) digital stories, averaging three to five minutes each, from a diverse sampling of IHS employees and disciplines. Videos will be produced in MP4 format for hosting on YouTube and sharing via social media platforms.

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
