- Description
- Notice of intent to issue a sole source cost modification to contract: HHSS270200700004C / Reference Number 270-07-0191 to: Chestnut Health Systems, 1003 Martin Luther King Dr, Bloomington, IL 61701 The purpose of this modification is to provide additional funds to the contract to support the increase in the number of grantee sites for the Assertive Adolescent and Family Treatment (AAFT) grant program, using the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach/Assertive Continuing Care (A-CRA/ACC) treatment protocols from 35 to approximately 70; and the number of grantee sites (including the additional AAFT sites) requiring support for the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) will increase from 147 to approximately 204 covered under this contract. The ability to add additional sites will be incorporated as additional optional tasks (A and B) to this contract. Optional Task A will add 10 additional grantee sites; Optional Task B will add 5 additional grantee sites, if exercised, and these optional tasks may be exercised additional times as needed. The AAFT Grant Program requires the use of the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) and the Adolescent Community Reinforcement (A-CRA) and Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) clinical protocols, while other Division of Services Improvement discretionary grantee sites are encouraged to use these approaches. The Request for Applications for the AAFT Grant Program specified that the cost of training, monitoring and certification in the GAIN, A-CRA and ACC would be borne by the Federal Government, and for those discretionary grantees in programs other than AAFT that choose to use the GAIN, support services are also required. Chestnut Health Systems served as the Coordinating Center for the Cannabis Youth Treatment Study in which the GAIN and A-CRA were developed and tested. Chestnut Health Systems also developed the ACC Protocol. Chestnut Health Systems holds the copyright for the GAIN and is the sole training organization for the GAIN, A-CRA and ACC. Training, monitoring, coaching and certification require a national center for overseeing these activities that will be from disparate locations throughout the United States and its Territories. The training, monitoring, coaching and certification are in the GAIN assessment and follow up instruments; and the A-CRA, and ACC clinical protocols. The outcomes of this contract will be nationally trained and certified administrators and trainers of the GAIN, and nationally trained and certified clinicians and clinical supervisors of A-CRA and ACC. At the end of the training period the grantee sites will be equipped to train and certify their own personnel in the GAIN, A-CRA and ACC. Chestnut Health Systems will operate and maintain a data base, updated monthly, and forwarded to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration/Center for Substance Abuse Treatment on the progress and implementation of these tools in the designated sites. The proposed contract action for additional sites is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1)) only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all capabilities received within forty five (45) days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contractor based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
