The Government is releasing this Draft Solicitation as a courtesy and a synopsis to interested offerors.

As a Federal law enforcement agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for ensuring that certain personnel are fully qualified to safely and effectively perform the essential job duties without undue risk or hazard to self or public. This involves, but is not limited to, developing and the implementation of the Office of Personnel Management approved job-related medical standards, facilitating medical examinations and consultations, and managing and implementing the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Program to deter illegal drug use. This draft solicitation is for medical services to support two program offices within CBP’s Office of Human Resources Management (HRM), namely, National Programs Division’s (NPD) Medical and Fitness Branch (MFB) and CBP Hiring Center (CBP HC). CBP Hiring Center (CBP HC) is located in Bloomington, MN, and for the purposes of this draft solicitation, is responsible for the coordination of the pre-employment candidate medical examinations and fitness tests for positions with medical standards and physical requirements, and for the scheduling of specimen collection services for the drug testing of candidates selected to occupy safety sensitive positions.

This presolicitation notice of the Draft SOW does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever nor does it intend to award a contract on the basis of this presolicitation notice. The Draft Solicitation includes the following Attachments: Attachment 1 Statement of Work (SOW) Attachment 2 Small Business Utilization Plan Form Attachment 3 Historical Duty Locations Attachment 4 CBP Medical Services Price Proposal Template Attachment 5 Past Performance Questionnaire Attachment 6 Security Documents The Government also wants to address the length of the SOW. Please note that the SOW is broken into two separate programs: Pre-Employment and Post-Employment. Many of the requirements are restated or very similar for each program, which has resulted in the lengthier SOW document. The Government is working diligently on a potential solicitation, but is not providing details of the potential solicitation release at this time.
