Notice ID: 140D0425R0029
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution (CADR), established in October 2001, is located within the Office of the Secretary under the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget (PMB) of DOI. The CADR office promotes, coordinates and facilitates greater use of conflict management and consensus-building processes throughout Interiors bureaus and offices to support the mission.
Workplace conflict management at Interior is addressed through the Integrated Conflict Management System — known as CORE PLUS (COnflict REsolution PLUS). CORE PLUS represents an Interior wide effort to promote a culture where employees are able to recognize and respond to conflict in constructive ways that decrease tensions, increase understanding, improve problem-solving, and produce better results. The objective of CORE PLUS is to manage and resolve informal and formal workplace disputes, grievances, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) matters. The purpose of CORE PLUS is to provide Interior employees with processes, tools, and skills that will allow them to prevent the escalation of differences and collaboratively solve problems as close to the origin of those problems and as cost-effectively as possible. It includes the adoption of practices and structures that assist in preventing and managing conflict. CORE PLUS creates an environment for raising all kinds of concerns, allowing for concerns to be heard, people to be treated respectfully, and problems to be solved effectively in a fair, friendly, flexible, and fast manner. To fulfill this mission, the CADR office is seeking to procure the services of high-quality third-party neutral mediators and facilitators, executive and leadership coaches, trainers, curriculum designers, and other individuals involved in the field of conflict management.
