Description

This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. It is NOT a solicitation for proposals. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this notice, and will NOT reimburse any cost incurred in response to this notice. The applicable North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 621498 with a size standard of $10.0 million (USD). This sources sought notice is being issued to determine if there are small businesses capable of, and interested in, providing the required services. Responses from interested, capable and experienced small business firms will assist the VA in making a set-aside decision for this procurement. Relevant experience would be a project where the company BOTH established and operated a Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) for primary care and mental health services. Payments under the contemplated contract would be made on a capitated-rate basis. The company awarded the contract will be required to have a fully operation clinic up and running on or before the 90th day after award. Set-up activities include, but are not limited to: 1) leasing adequate space 2) furnishing the space with adequate office furniture 3) equipping the space with adequate office, computer and medical equipment 4) furnishing health care providers (other than physicians and psychologists) with the requisite licenses, credentials, certifications, and other support staff to run the clinic 5) working with the VA to connect to the VA computer network 6) ensuring that the clinic will be compliant with all relevant VA and JCAHO regulations from the first day of operation Operational activities include, but are not limited to, handling all operational activities of a primary care and mental health clinic, and using the VA Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) to enter all information related to patient care. The contractor would provide primary care and mental health services in a clinic environment, solely to veterans who primarily reside in Lincoln County & Tillamook County, OR. The current clinic located in Newport, OR has 1,400 enrolled patients, and there are currently 165 patients on the wait list to join the facility. The contractor operated CBOC must have the necessary facilities, professional medical staff, diagnostic testing and treatment capability, and referral arrangements needed to ensure continuity of health care. All services at the clinic to be performed by physicians and psychologists will be performed by VA staff. All other clinic staff (e.g, Registered Nurses, Medical Support Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses, Health Technicians, etc.) will be provided by the contractor. Primary Care services include longitudinal outpatient medical care for the purposes of prevention and detection of disease and subsequent management of medical conditions, for veterans deemed eligible. The contractor will also be responsible for documenting care provided using CPRS. The proposed CBOC, at a minimum, shall provide one standard of care that must be consistent, safe and of high quality. Additionally, the proposed CBOC is expected to comply with all relevant VA policies and procedures, including those related to quality, patient safety and performance. The care provided by the CBOC should be patient centered, continuous, accessible, coordinated, and consistent with VA Medical Center standards, including the thirteen service standards detailed in VHA Directive 2006-041, "Veterans Health Care Service Standards," dated 6/27/06 (http://www.va.gov/vhapublications/ViewPublication.asp?pub_ID=1443). Finally, the VA Office of Patient Care Services, Primary Care Program Office, is undertaking a new initiative to implement a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model at all Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Primary Care sites which is referred to as Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT). This initiative supports the VHA Universal Health Care Services Plan to redesign VHA healthcare delivery through increasing access, coordination, communication, and continuity of care. PACT provides accessible, coordinated, comprehensive, patient-centered care, and is managed by primary care providers with the active involvement of other clinical and non-clinical staff. PACT allows patients to have a more active role in their health care and is associated with increased quality improvement, patient satisfaction, and a decrease in hospital costs due to fewer hospital visits and readmissions. Additional information on PACT can be found here: http://www.va.gov/primarycare/pcmh/). Interested parties shall respond to this Sources Sought Notice no later than close of business on May 21, 2013, and shall provide the following information: 1) Name of business and company contact information 2) DUNS number 3) Description of specific projects where your firm BOTH established and operated a primary care outpatient clinic in the United States. Only list those projects where your firm handled BOTH the establishment and the operation of the clinic. List the dates of operation for each project that meets BOTH criteria. 4) PROVIDE REFERENCES FOR PROJECTS WHERE YOUR FIRM HAS BOTH ESTABLISHED AND OPERATED A PRIMARY CARE CLINIC. If a formal solicitation is issued, it is anticipated that the award date of any resultant contract would be in the first quarter of 2014. The contract period of performance would consist of a one-year base period, and four 1-year option periods.
