Design Pickle Digital Graphics Subscription

The Department of Health and Human Services intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Copial Business Strategists LLC. Description: The Office of Human Resources (ASA/OHR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leads many programs and initiatives that are implemented by staff employed by HHS Operating Divisions and Staff Divisions. OHR must provide technical guidance and other supports to these division-level staff to enable them to be successful, which in turn leads to overarching HHS success. Examples of such programs and initiatives include the annual Federal Employee View Point Survey (FEVS), Feds Feed Families, and Public Service Recognition Week. Additional programs and initiatives as feasible are Performance Management Month, Benefits Open-Enrollment, and various Future of Work initiatives. The Deputy Secretary has set engagement-related 2024 goals for the Department that are directly or indirectly related to the OHR programs and initiatives. To support goal achievement, OHR is seeking additional vendor support. Scope of Work The scope of work is the provision of graphics design and motion video production. Only some design tasks are known at this time and these graphics may need to be modified to facilitate better use by OHR division-level partners. HHS/OHR is seeking to purchase the Design Pickle Graphics subscription with Technical Support.
