Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office (NCO 2), Center of Excellence Canandaigua VA Medical Center, 400 Fort Hill Avenue, Canandaigua, NY 14424-1159 intends to enter into a contract on the basis of other than full and open competition with only one source, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 120 Wall Street, 29th floor, New York, NY 10005, under the authority Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.302-1 (a)(2) only one responsible source, 10U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1). The requirement is to provide a license agreement for the Veterans Self-Check Quiz for an Interactive Screening Program (ISP) that integrates with the existing Veterans Chat Program in collaboration with the VISN 2 Center of Excellence Suicide Prevention Hotline. Provide the License Agreement for the Veterans Self-Check Quiz website. In accordance with the License granted to the VA by American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the AFSP will provide unlimited access to the Veterans Self-Check website during the contract period, on-going technical support and assistance with website functioning throughout the contract period. Periodically monitor the Veterans Self-Check Quiz website to ensure user access and smooth functioning throughout the contact period, and monitor the integration of the Veterans Self-Check Quiz website to accommodate ongoing updates by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The Interactive Screening Program (ISP) is an online method of outreach to populations at risk for suicide, which has been developed by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The ISP includes an online questionnaire that screens for key mental disorders and other conditions that are associated with elevated risk of suicidal behavior in selected target populations. Questionnaires submitted by ISP users are computer-classified into one of four tiers, depending on suicide risk, and then are routed to designated counselors for assessment and personalized response to the individual user. The system provides the counselor a tier-specific template to use in preparing the response, which is augmented with comments related to issues of particular concern that are indicated in the user's questionnaire. The program then allows the user and the counselor to exchange online messages, through which follow-up options, as well as barriers and resistances to mental health treatment, can be explored and resolved. No substitutes will be accepted due to the fact these sources are used on an ongoing means for the staff to perform their necessary studies. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 611710, Educational Support Services, with a corresponding small business size standard of $15.0 million. The estimated date of award for this action is October 1, 2016. The intent is to award a sole source, firm fixed price (FFP) contract. This notice is not a request for proposal and no solicitation will be issued. All responsible parties that believe it can provide the stated services should provide supporting documents demonstrating their capability and specifications. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely by the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses received will be used for future acquisitions. Information can be sent to Kimberly Wiatrowski, Contract Specialist, at Kimberly.wiatrowski@va.gov. No telephone or facsimile requests will be accepted. Responses must be submitted by July 22, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. EST.
