- Description
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) intends to compete a requirement entitled "The Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span Home Visit Program (HHVP)." This procurement is being competed under full and open competitive procedures using NAICS Code 541990 and FAR Part 15. It is anticipated that a single cost-reimbursement, multi-year, type contract will be awarded with a three (3) year period of performance. It is expected that a solicitation will be issued on or about December 17, 2012. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES This procurement shall acquire the services of a contractor to perform home-based medical evaluations for HANDLS participants who are unable to visit the NIA's Medical Research Vehicles (MRVs) for their follow-up medical evaluations. This HANDLS sub-study is called the HANDLS Home Visit Program (HHVP). Initially, the NIA will require approximately 50 home visits per year conducted primarily in the Baltimore metropolitan area, but also in other areas to which participants may have moved. Home visit medical evaluations shall be performed according to the HANDLS timeline specified for participants' scheduled follow-up MRV visits. The first year will also include home visits that are out of sequence (behind the usual scheduled appointment date) because HANDLS was unable to evaluate the participant on the MRV when initially scheduled. The main objectives of the procurement are: (1) to perform follow-up study evaluations on all HHVP participants identified by the Government; (2) create, implement, and manage a database tracking system for classifying all HHVP participants. The database will provide complete verification of the status of HANDLS home visit participants and shall include information indicating who are active and willing to participate, who completed a home visit, who have died, and who refuse the home visit (as they occur), and also up-to-date demographic and contact information for all home visit participants; (3) Increase the value of the study by reducing the biasing effect of "informative censoring" (non-random missing data); (4) Expand the collection of biological samples in participants who have developed substantial co-morbidity and disability. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered by the agency. This notice does not commit the Government to award a contract. No collect calls will be accepted. No facsimile transmissions will be accepted. This requirement was previously publicized under sources sought notice nos. HHS-NIH-NIDA(AG)-RDSS-12-171 and HHS-NIH-NIDA(AG)-SBSS-12-171.
