- Description
- Pursuant to the authority of FAR 6.302-1, The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Program Support Center (PSC), Acquisition Management Services (AMS), on behalf of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) intends negotiate on a sole source basis an order under the PSC Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), 2101 Constitution Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20418; for a Membership to the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care (VSRT) for a one year membership with 4 one year options. DHA seeks to establish collaborative membership between the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine (NAS/IOM) Roundtable on Value Driven Health Care and the Military Health System (MHS), this will enhance the ability of the MHS to steward progress towards effective, innovative care that consistently adds value to patients. The IOM's VSRT provides a trusted venue for national leaders in health and health care to work cooperatively toward their common commitment to effective, innovative care that consistently adds value to patients and society. Defense Health Agency membership on this round table is critical in that this membership will provide the DHA an avenue to sustain ongoing dialogue with members that share the concern that, despite the world's best care in certain circumstances, health in America falls far short on important measures of outcomes, value, and equity. With the recent results from the MHS Review and the charge for the DHA to become a High Reliability Organization (HRO), it is more important than ever that the DHA engage and draw on insights and leadership from throughout the scientific, clinical, commercial, voluntary and public sectors. The NAS/IOM is VSRT is uniquely qualified to provide this service because there is only one NAS/IOM Roundtable on Value & Science-Driven Health Care. Unique features of the Roundtable include the following: • Since its founding in 2006, the anchor element and uniqueness of the Roundtable's work has been its focus on defining, characterizing, and identifying initiatives important to the development of a Learning Health System. The Roundtable has explored key capacity and analytics issues important to ensuring that value and science are the central drivers of health care progress. The Roundtable and the DoD's MHS have had a partnership for several years. The Roundtable's mission to steward progress towards effective, innovative care that consistently adds value to patients and society closely aligns with the DoD's strategic interest in providing high-quality and innovative care, better health, and greater value to active and retired military members. DoD personnel have historically participated in each of the Roundtable's Innovation Collaboratives. • Members of the NAS/IOM VSRT have committed to the NAS/IOM VSRT as the means for joining together with other stakeholders. Roundtable members are leaders from core stakeholder communities (clinicians, patients, health care institutions, employers, manufacturers, insurers, health information technology, researchers, and policy makers) brought together by their common commitment to steward the advances in science, value and culture necessary for a health system that continuously learns and improves in fostering healthier people. They would not replicate their efforts or undermine the work they have accomplished by participating in meetings that have the same purpose, or that would otherwise compete with the VSRT. The members of the NAS/IOM VSRT represent a unique set of critical players that could not be duplicated. Any attempt to replicate the VSRT without these stakeholders' participation would be destined to failure. • The NAS/IOM VSRT builds upon the work it has accomplished since its inception in 2006.. The NAS/IOM VSRT has held a series of meetings and workshops on a variety of Each workshop or meeting takes the information already gathered and uses that as a framework and basis for planning meetings and workshops. The Roundtable membership convenes twice per year to identify and discuss priority issues in the development and application of better evidence for clinical decision-making. In additional the Roundtable holds 2 to 3 public workshops per year, and convenes innovation collaborative in open and project-related meetings throughout the year, and addresses emerging issues. Meetings and workshops undertaken independently would undoubtedly be duplicative and leave gaps in the knowledge development process. • The NAS/IOM is recognized as a neutral convener and has a unique position as a leader in the field of health. A wide range of constituencies look to the NAS/IOM for further direction on effective, innovative care that consistently adds value to patients and society. As a result, workshop and meeting proceedings carry more weight and have a greater impact than similar work issued by another organization. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposal. No solicitation document is available. All responsible sources that have determined that they can provide the same services may submit product information and a capabilities statement that speaks to the services DHA is seeking in this proposed acquisition. The email subject line must reference 15-PSC-510085. All responses are due by September 1, 2015, 10:00am Eastern Time and shall be emailed to Michele Namoski at Shelley.Namoski@psc.hhs.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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 or not to conduct a competitive requirement.
