The solicitation is restricted to individuals only; submissions from companies or corporations will not be considered, and selected offerors must perform all work themselves.
The evaluation criteria assess offeror capability across multiple dimensions. Technical and supplier capability factors include: current employment status with USPS or federal agencies (ineligible if currently employed unless retiring within 30 days); educational attainment (Master's degree or higher preferred); required equipment including Windows 10 computer with 4GB minimum memory, Microsoft Office 2010 or higher, Adobe Acrobat Professional, fax capability, broadband internet, dedicated telephone line, document scanner, and antivirus protection; proficiency levels in Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat Professional; knowledge of federal sector EEO statutes, regulations, case law, and administrative procedures; organizational and administrative skills with timeline adherence; ability to create electronic objective reports with comparative analysis; legal research capability regarding EEO case law and federal anti-discrimination laws; and ability to write Final Agency Decisions on complete EEO records. Past performance factors evaluate completion of final agency decisions within 15 days while managing multiple cases and overall investigative experience including researching, problem-solving, evidence collection, interviewing, and report writing. Availability requires capacity to complete a minimum of ten cases annually. Additional requirements include U.S. citizenship or permanent resident alien status, successful background check and drug screening, and ability to obtain a sensitive security clearance. Offerors must provide a minimum of three professional references from the past three years demonstrating similar scope and complexity of work, including contact information and detailed service descriptions.
