This is a nationwide sources sought notice. This is not an invitation for bid, a request for proposals or other solicitation. The Healthier Worksite Initiative and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office of Occupational Health and Safety, seek to expand nationwide fitness center access for CDC employees, contractors and their family members, to respond to employee requests and promote physical activity by reducing the barriers of distance and cost and increase employee access to fitness centers. The following salient features should be included in the services of any organization being considered for this project: Service Features: 1) Provide access to an already established network of individual and chain fitness centers throughout the United States and San Juan for CDC employees and their families, at a larger membership fee discount than what employees could obtain without this service being offered through CDC. 2) If the provider’s current network does not include fitness centers in some areas where CDC employees work or reside, the provider must be willing to negotiate with local fitness clubs to bring them into the network. 3) Provide flexible memberships that allow employees to use network clubs throughout the U.S. at no extra charge while on travel and permit freezing or transfer of memberships for employees on longer-term assignments away from their local fitness club. 4) Fitness centers included in the network must abide by International Health, Racquet and Sport club Association (IHRSA) membership standards. 5) The provider requires no minimum employee participation. 6) There is no charge to CDC for the above services. Administrative Features: 1) Assign a staff member who is responsible for services provided to CDC employees and communicates regularly with the CDC Healthier Worksite contact person. 2) Provide CDC with aggregate utilization data by geographic area and agreed-to timeframes for program evaluation purposes. Protect employee confidentiality by not identifying individuals in these data sets. 3) Assign a staff member who is responsible for services provided to CDC employees and communicates regularly with the CDC Healthier Worksite contact person. 4) Provide all registration, billing, record keeping, ongoing promotional programs/materials/incentives and employee customer service. 5) Products other than fitness center discounts, such as supplements and diets/counseling, shall not be promoted without prior written approval from CDC. 6) There is no charge to CDC for the above materials, products and services.
