- Description
- The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Plexus Scientific Corporation, 1900 N. Beauregard St., Suite 300, Alexandria, VA 22311. The purpose of this contract is to continue with the next phase, Phase II, of designing a performance management tool that helps AHRQ to improve its strategic management process. Phase II will continue to draw upon the program performance and management of data (Phase I) by: 1) moving the Visual Performance Suite (VPS) from the Plexus site and installing on an AHRQ server; 2) configuring and implementing VPS; 3) generating additional custom reports including GPRA Budget Report, Goal Linkages Report, and summary of Measures Report; 4) integrating AHRQ'S budget and grantee data into VPS; 5) developing user manuals; and, 6) conducting VPS Training. The estimated period of performance is for approximately 4 months. Plexus has successfully completed the first phase of this project by designing a performance management software tool. Currently this software and AHRQ performance data are hosted on the Plexus site as this company is the only vendor that sells the Visual Performance Suite. They do not have any resellers at this time. In addition, their professional services staff is the only consulting organization certified to provide the implementation and consulting services associated with the VPS solution as the tool is moved from the Plexus site to AHRQ's IT system during Phase II of the contract. Interested parties should fax a written request to the Contracting Officer at 301-427-1740 no later than 1:00pm on August 8, 2006. All responses will be considered by AHRQ. Telephone requests will not be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
