The scope includes up to five counseling or coaching sessions per employee by experienced, licensed counselors for personal or work-related concerns, billed within the contract rather than separately. The contractor must also submit quarterly usage reports to the Contracting Officer's Representative within 30 days after each quarter ends. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations in the United States, and the solicitation is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with a base year and four option years (OY1 through OY4).
