- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE - THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD CONTRACT TO HEALTH CARE COST INSTITUTE TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE DATA SETS. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) intends to award a sole source contract under the statutory authority permitting soliciting from a single in accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b) on the basis that the Federal Trade Commission know of no other entity that can provide the required data sets. The FTC intends to issue a contract to Health Care Cost Institute, 1310 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20005 in an effort entitled Health Care Data Sets. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability by responding to this requirement via email in Microsoft Word format with a file size less than 5MB to Jason R. Callahan, via email: jcallahan@ftc.gov, Subject Line: Health Care Data Sets no later than 5:00 pm Eastern, 03 September, 2014. All information submitted should support the offeror's capability to provide the items required, and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. Responses must be in writing and must provide clear and concise documentation indicating an offeror's bona fide capability to provide these services. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. The Government reserves the right to cancel the Sole Source Award. Specifically, the FTC health care data requirements are as follows: Data set 1: We require claims level data covering hospital and physician visits from eight states: Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin for 2007-2012 and preferably 2013. The data must provide details on the identity of the hospital, the specifics of the procedure, a de-identified patient key, patients' five-digit zip code. Critically, the data must include actual transaction prices. The data coverage needs to be broad, both in the sense of having a large sample size (i.e., covering a large proportion of the insured population), and in the sense of covering a representative population (e.g., all hospitals, age ranges, procedures, and diagnoses and many insurers per region). Data set 2: We require highly disaggregated price data from individual insurance claims for hospital visits, doctor visits, and prescriptions filled under private health insurance plans from across all 50 states for 2007-2012 and preferably 2013. It is essential that the data include a description of the service provided (including procedure provided or drug dispensed), the date of service, the location of the provider. In addition, and critically, the data must include information on the actual transaction price paid, as well as information on the plan providing coverage for the claim, including the size of the plan and the funding status of the plan (self-funded versus fully insured). The data coverage needs to be broad, both in the sense of having a large sample size (i.e., covering a large proportion of the insured population), and in   the sense of covering a representative population (e.g., all hospitals, age ranges, procedures, and diagnoses and many insurers per region).
