- Description
- This is a notice the Indian Health Service, Alaska Area Native Health Service (AANHS)intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to the North Slope Borough, Barrow, Alaska. The AANHS receives annual funding to provide Community Health Aide/Practitioner Services, Emergency Medical Services and Substance Abuse Treatment and Services to Alaska Natives and American Indian beneficiaries in the arctic slope region of Alaska. This funding is available to the Arctic Slope Native Association (ASNA)as part of a Public Law 93-638 Compact between the AANHS and ASNA which provides for a broad range of healthcare services. However the ASNA has chosen not to include the Community Health Aide/Practitioner Services, Emergency Medical Services and Substance Abuse Treatment Services in their Compact at this time because the arctic slope local government, the North Slope Borough, currently provides these services and the ASNA believes it would not be cost effective or in the best interest of the north slope region residents to duplicate or compete with these services at this time. There are currrently discussion between the North Slope Borough and the ASNA to work together to provde the services. The amount of funding available to the IHS for these services is only a portion of the actual cost to provide these service to the arctic slope region. Essentially, the IHS will only be subsidizing the cost of these services currently provided by the North Slope Borough. This sole source contract is authorized by Title 41, USC 253(c)(1). There is no other source for these services and there are no business opportunitues for any private entity. The community of Barrow is located on the north slope of Alaska and is only accessible by air. Housing, other infastructure and transportation facilities are minimal. The North Slope Borough, which the IHS will contract with to provide these services is a State of Alaska chartered Borough government and has provided these services for many years. It should be noted this contract could be terminated at any time because the ASNA has the statutory authority to request the funding be transferred to their Public Law 93-638 Compact at any time. This contract will be for the period January 1, 2007 thru September 30, 2007 and will include Options to renew the contract for two additional one-year periods, in the event the ASNA does not agree to assume the services during or following the base year of this contract.
