Q -- PRIMARY CARE CLINIC SERVICES SOL NOO140-99-Q-2253 DUE 081698 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 FY99 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 began on 1 Oct 97 and continue through 30 Sep 98. FY99 constitutes an option period under the contract. The contract provides primary care to both TriCare Prime enrollees and also provides 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 access to care impacts of the implementation of the Managed Care Support Contract (MCSC) in Region 1. The implementation of the MCSC has increased the demand for non-enrollee appointments at the PCC beyond the level initiallyanticipated. 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 FY99. It is anticipated that patient care efficiencies associated with the MCSC will allevitate the need for the additional appointments by the end of FY99. 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 98. Further, pursuing the additional appointments from any other source would be impracticable as Coastal is currently providing full operation of the PCC. 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 forcompetitive 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 this notice 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. Posted 07/16/98 (D-SN224452). (0197)
