National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Executive Management & Advisory Services Recompete

Approval is requested to recompete a contract to provide Senior Executive Management and Advisory Services in support of the NHLBI Immediate Office of the Director (IOD) as NHLBI implements its new organizational structure across functional groups and sub-elements. The contractor will provide senior-level organizational planning, executive advisory, facilitation, project management, workforce transition, and change management support to document roles, responsibilities, authorities, reporting relationships, decision rights, workflows, operational dependencies, escalation pathways, and operating procedures. The team will facilitate leadership and staff working sessions; map cross-functional processes and handoffs; identify gaps in skills, competencies, resources, and capacity; support onboarding, knowledge transfer, and transition into new or expanded duties; develop stakeholder engagement and communications strategies; identify implementation risks and mitigation actions; and provide leadership-ready briefings, analyses, decision logs, action trackers, implementation tools, and transition materials. This support will help the IOD establish a sustainable operating model that strengthens organizational clarity, accountability, collaboration, internal coordination, workforce capability, and mission execution. The requirement supports Federal management and accountability responsibilities under the Government Performance and Results Act, as amended by the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010, including 31 U.S.C. 1115-1122 and 5 U.S.C. 306, by aligning organizational activities, responsibilities, performance objectives, and decision-making processes with NHLBI's mission and strategic priorities. It also supports the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act framework under 31 U.S.C. 3512 by establishing documented responsibilities, authorities, workflows, approvals, controls, and oversight mechanisms necessary for effective and efficient operations and protection of Federal resources; the Chief Human Capital Officers Act framework, including 5 U.S.C. 1402, by supporting workforce planning, competency development, leadership capacity, and alignment of personnel capabilities with mission requirements; and Federal records-management requirements under 44 U.S.C. chapters 29, 31, and 33 through the development and maintenance of organizational records, procedures, decision documentation, and transition materials. Failure to approve this requirement would jeopardize the consistent and sustainable implementation of the IOD organizational reset and increase the risk of unclear accountability, fragmented workflows, duplicated effort, delayed decisions, inadequate staff readiness, loss of institutional knowledge, and ineffective use of Federal resources.
