- Description
- The Base Notice: Modeling the Health, Economic and Budgetary Impact of Strategies to Reduce Tobacco Use, and Control High Blood Pressure - 00HCAG-2017-14812. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Health Partners Institutes of Education and Research (HPIER). HPIER owns unique, highly specialized, and proprietary microsimulation models, including ModelHealth: Cardiovascular Disease and ModelHealth:Tobacco. In addition to being able to evaluate impact of public health and preventive interventions on multiple diseases or risk factors and examine impacts on a representative population cohorts with varying demographics, these models are specialized in assessing budgetary impacts of public health and prevention policies for the major payers, specifically, Medicare, Medicaid and private insurers. Assessing budgetary impacts is key to meeting the needs for this project, and requires using microsimulation modeling (a powerful and widely accepted tool for analyzing the impact of public policies to support government policy making, but with limited application in evaluation of public health policies). In addition to the unique and highly specialized nature of these models, they have been previously adapted and modified to meet CDC and Office of the Associate Director for Policy (OADP) needs. HPIER has already been used by CDC/OADP to assess several tobacco use prevention policies and several CVD prevention policies including team-based care for hypertension, elimination of trans fatty acids, reducing copayments for generic antihypertensive medications and sodium reduction. Specifically during FY12, HPIER won a competitive award funded by CDC/OADP (Contract 200-2012-53738 Modeling the Health and Economic Impact of Interventions in the Areas of Obesity Prevention, Tobacco Control, Cardiovascular Disease and Community Level Implementation of the National Prevention Strategy). This prior work allowed CDC/OADP to increases its technical capacity in using microsimulation models to assess payer-specific budgetary impact analysis by engaging the expertise of HPIER researchers and their repository of economic models, which were extensively vetted by CDC subject matter experts and further adapted or modified to assess, in addition to health and economic impacts, payer-specific budgetary impacts, for select high value prevention policies specifically among others, targeting tobacco use and cardiovascular disease. The work conducted over two years has helped develop foundational capacity that did not exist in the field before in assessing the budgetary impacts of public health and prevention policies. In addition to developing these models, the contract also included building interactive tools for CDC's internal use. Given all of this, the contractor is in a position to provide an economical and efficient follow up to previous work. This contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all capability statement/responses received within five (5) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government to compete or not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any capability statement response should be emailed to contract specialist at agp8@cdc.gov by COB 08-09-2017.
