- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to award a purchase order to First Candle/SIDS Alliance, 1314 Bedford Avenue, Suite 210, Baltimore, MD 21208 for the Nursing Continuing Education Outreach Project. The NICHD, the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and First Candle/SIDS Alliance developed a Nursing Continuing Education (CE) Program on SIDS risk reduction to reduce the incidence of SIDS. The goal of the program is to increase the capacity of Nurses to educate families and caregivers about ways to reduce factors known to increase SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death risk. In the first three years of the CE program, First Candle Staff developed a general abstract submission form to submit to national and regional nursing and health related conferences. Through the customization of 70 abstract submissions, First Candle was successful at securing acceptances to over 22 national conferences and 23 regional conferences and 2,022 nurses have completed the CE module. Currently, over 47,000 nurses have completed the CE program and received credit either from the provider-led or online program. First Candle is to conduct an outreach with organizations that influence nursing infant care practices in health care settings and to conduct a follow-up survey to participants to assess if a change in behavior or policy has resulted from the CE completion. The sole source determination is based on that First Candle/SIDS Alliance has been a collaborator of the NICHD-led Safe to Sleep (formerly Back to Sleep) campaign since inception in 1994 and has worked with NICHD through contractual agreements to support educational outreach activities in campaign-related activities and is currently a collaborator for the latest expansion to the Safe to Sleep campaign. In compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) Soliciting from a single source. This solicitation is not a Small Business Set-Aside. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, however; all responses received, before the closing date, of this announcement will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition is based upon responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. It is anticipated that the RFQ NIH-NICHD-15-069 will be available fifteen (15) days after the publication date of this synopsis.
