- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. This work (PFDC) is being done as a modification to an existing contract, HHSM-500-2010-00028C that was awarded to National Government Services, Inc. IAW FAR Part 16, the PFDC contract was competitively awarded in August 2010 and approved to be awarded as "Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee". This contract modification #6 is intended to create a separate contract line item (CLIN) specifically for SOW Task 20.1; the work on this CLIN shall be managed and invoiced through a separate arrangement with CMS/OIS detailed in Appendix B of the SOW. The work includes assisting CMS/OIS in obtaining banking information for HITECH providers that the NLR does not have access to; the PFDC shall also conduct research on HITECH providers in the J13 MAC region to determine the reasons they are not being paid by the NLR; and the PFDC shall develop solutions and recommendations for CMS/OIS/NLR to make payments. The total period of performance for all work conducted under this CLIN is from date of award to 1/1/13. This SOW task 20.1 is new work that has resulted from OIS and shared system problems with obtaining banking/payment information necessary for the PFDC to issue payments to providers. Because of the PFDC's capability of obtaining this missing payment information, it is necessary to award this work to the PFDC on a separate CLIN that can be managed and funded by OIS. Because this need for work is new, at the time of contract award it was not possible to accurately determine the amount or schedule of funding required meeting these requirements with a high level of confidence. The contractor rates and hours are strictly monitored to ensure that the government does not experience lack of efficiency with this type of contract. Market research, past performance, and comparison to other projects' similar functionality is examined to ensure that the contractor's productivity falls in-line with government expectations. The Contracting Officer determined at time of award that a Cost-Reimbursement contract was suitable for this requirement as uncertainties in the services required did not permit the Government or contractor to estimate with sufficient accuracy in order to use a fixed-price contract.
