Intent to Sole Source: California Health Interview Survey (CHIS)
Pursuant to the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1) (i), Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has a requirement to gather and compile data about Pacific Islanders, American Indian and Alaska Natives, Asian subpopulations, and many Hispanic subpopulations regarding health disparities. The Government intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the "UCLA Center for Health Policy Research" for this requirement.
AHRQ staff examined a number of state healthcare databases. The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) was identified as the only state healthcare database that has the capacity to provide information about many of these populations. The purpose of this contract is to enable CHIS to gather and compile data, for which national data are limited, in support of the 2014 and 2015NHDR (National Healthcare Disparities Reports).
This is not a solicitation for competitive proposal. No solicitation document is available. All responsible sources that have determined that they can provide the requisite services may submit capabilities statements. The email subject line must reference AHR135856 Capability Statement. All responses are due by July 25, 2014, 2:00PM Eastern time. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government.
