Additionally, the vendor must assess current staffing levels, identify gaps in future needs using peer benchmarks, provide generalized private contractor unit cost ranges, and evaluate the pros and cons of using contract labor versus hiring additional staff to complete and manage projects. Eligibility is restricted to onshore USA organizations, and the required work will be performed offsite.
