- Description
- Statement of Work for TTAG Data Symposium The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), intends to award under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (Dollar Threshold $100,000), a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to the California Rural Indian Health Board, 4400 Auburn Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95841 for the following services, under NAICS Code 923120. The purpose of this effort is to conduct a Data Symposium to examine at least four reports of studies identifying barriers and problems of consistent data tracking of American Indian/Alaska native enrollment and utilization of Medicare and Medicaid programs. A group of subject matter experts are required to analyze the findings in the reports and recommend solutions to improving data collection. The symposium will include invited participants from CMS, IHS, the TTAG (Tribal Technical Advisory Group), academia, the National Indian Health Board, the national Congress of American Indians, Congressional staff, the Kaiser Foundation, and Families USA. The day and a half event will include presentations by a TTAG representative discussing previous data research projects; experienced academic researchers; at least one CMS Data analyst; and one HIS Data Analyst. The last half of the symposium will be reserved for the identification of secondary analysis that would further the understanding of health status, service utilization and barriers to care for the three target populations identified in the TTAG research framework. The contractor will summarize the existing reports, secure subject matter experts, coordinate the development of a whitepaper, and coordinate recommendations for future actions. The contractor will also provide meeting support and services including planning and coordination of all meeting logistics and material preparation for the CMS/TTAG Data Symposium. This event will be by invitation only and requires that all participants review the three baseline documents, and come prepared to contribute to the ideas and discussion generated by panel discussants designated in advance for topic areas in each report. It is anticipated that the period of performance will be six months following the award of a purchase order. This procurement should be awarded to the CRIHB because this organization has a current Data Use Agreement with CMS and has been analyzing the HIS and CMS data and published three of the documents cited. Other organizations will have to go through the process of requesting and obtaining data use agreements with both CMS and IHS. CRHIB is very familiar with the importance of having data that is consistent between federal agencies and is very familiar with working with AIAN populations and organizations. A detail Statement of Work is attached. All responsible sources may submit a response, which, if received timely, must be considered by the agency. Expression of interest and statement of capabilities must be emailed to Phillip.Harrell@cms.hhs.gov. Statement of capabilities must be received within 5 days from the published date of this notice. In addition, all interested contractors must be registered with the Central Contractors Registration System (CCR) at the following website: http://www.ccr.gov.
