- Description
- (i) This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source, fixed-price, purchase order under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) as set forth in FAR 6.302-1(c), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, to Wolters Kluwer, 4024 West Peterson Ave, Chicago, II 60646 for the 12-month License Agreement and subscription to provide the database service used in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/Center for Financing, Access, and Cost Trends (AHRQ/CFACT) for analytical research and data development. (ii) This procurement allows for the editing, imputation and matching of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Prescription Drug data obtained from the Household Component (HC) and Pharmacy Component (PC) of MEPS. These activities prepare the data so that it can be used to produce many MEPS public use files (PUFs) including the Prescribed Medicines Event file, the Full Year Consolidated File, and the Appendix to MEPS Event Files. The proprietary generic product identifier (GPI) in the Master Drug Data Base (MDDB) produced only by Wolters Kluwer is used in the MEPS prescribed drug editing, matching and imputation. The matching and imputation programs are dependent on the GPI variable. Without the GPI variable, AHRQ would be unable to produce the MEPS prescribed drug expenditure estimates as well as various MEPS public use files. (iii) The corresponding NAICS code is 511210 Software Publishers with a size standard $25 million. (iv) A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. (v) For specific questions, please contact, Madilyn Gonzalez, Contract Specialist, Email: Madilyn.Gonzalez@psc.hhs.gov. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement no later than 12:00 p.m., EST, August 10, 2012.
