- Description
- This is a Sole Source notification. A written solicitation will not be issued. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), intends to award a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) purchase order to Jeff Murray's Programming Shop, Inc. (jProg), to support CAREWare Software Operations and Maintenance. CAREWare software has evolved into a comprehensive electronic health information system that has now become the source of over half of the Bureau's year-end data submitted by Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program recipients and providers of HIV care. The software has become central to the monitoring and evaluation activities of many recipients, and in a number of jurisdictions, is run on a full network across entire states or cities, allowing for data sharing across agencies and importing data from outside systems. In 2018-19, CAREWare will be updated to a new structure with a browser-based user interface. The new front end will modernize the look and feel of the application and introduce a number of efficiencies. jProg is uniquely positioned for the work because jProg, has copyright license to specific components of the software. Only the services offered by jProg can meet HAB's needs due to their unique, long-term experience, and that firm's copyright to specific features, functions and algorithms in CAREWare. No other organization would be able to meet HRSA's needs due to the unique "ownership" of the underlying software code. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 13.501(a). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested offerors may submit their capabilities or responses before the closing date and time of this notice to the Government for consideration. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests. Any questions concerning this notice should be directed to Philip Senerchia, at (301) 443-6065 or psenerchia@hrsa.gov
