Q -- PRIMARY CARE CLINIC SERVICES SOL NOO140-97-Q-3744 DUE 090597 POC Point of Contact -- Ken Bullock, Senior Contract Specialist, 215-697-9676, P. R. Russial, Contracting Officer, 215-697-9670 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Bid Officer, synopsis@phil.fisc.navy.mil. The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Norfolk Detachment Philadelphia intends to modify contract N00140-97-C-L205 with Coastal Government Services, Incorporated, to obtain additional non-enrollee appointments during a 10 month period to support the contractor-operated Primary Care Clinic (PCC) at the Naval Medical Clinic Quantico, VA. Subject contract was awarded on 29 May 97 and services during the basic performance period will begin on 1 Oct 97 and continue through 30 Sep 98. The contract will provide primary care to both TriCare Prime enrollees and will also provide non-enrollee appointments. The quantity of non-enrollee appointments varies depending upon the enrollment level at any given time. This modification is necessary due to unforeseen delays in the award and implementation of the Managed Care Support Contract (MCSC) in Region 1. This delay is anticipated to increase the demand for non-enrollee appointments at the PCC as the patient care efficiencies associated with enrollment will not be realized until the start of the MCSC. The current terms of the contract provide for approximately 23,000 non-enrollee appointments per year at an enrollment level of zero. The resultant modification will add an additional 600 non-enrollee appointments per month during the period 1 Oct 97 through 31 Jul 98 until enrollment can begin under the Region 1 MCSC. FISC Norfolk Detachment Philadelphia intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Coastal Government Services for this requirement. This firm is considered the only source capable of providing services which meet all of the Navy's requirements by 1 Oct 97. Interested parties may identify their interest and prove their capability to respond to this requirement for additional non-enrollee appointments at the Quantico PCC. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all information received within forty-five (45) days after date of this notice will be considered by the Government. Information received as a result of thisnotice of intent will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for information received. (0217)
