FBO: Federal Business Opportunities

Background

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress to aid in policy decisions. The agency is seeking contracts with experienced writers to prepare issue briefs and other documents. Awards to multiple individuals to prepare one or more briefs each are anticipated over a 12-month period based on a firm-fixed job rate. The agency may, at its option, contract with one or more individuals for additional briefs based on performance under the initial contracts. Contract services shall include but are not limited to summarizing or drawing information from one or more full-length publications and sources to produce stand-alone documents, known as "issue briefs," which are clearly written, accessible, and aimed particularly at a broad audience--including Members of Congress, Congressional staff, and members of the public. The work will require independent judgment and initiative but will include collaboration with the agency's analysts, editors, and managers. This collaboration will take place on-site. Therefore, while most of the work will be done off-site, the individual will be expected to meet with CBO staff in their Washington, DC, offices. Contract prices will be negotiated on the basis of the complexity of the original publication(s) on which the brief will be based. Travel expenses are not allowed under this agreement.
