- Description
- The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration , Department of Health and Human Services contemplates awarding a one year cost reimbursement contract with four option years entitled Knowledge Application Program (KAP). The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment?s (CSAT) grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts are designed to develop knowledge on best practices in substance abuse treatment. In 1999, CSAT implemented a systematic program to synthesize, publish, and disseminate this knowledge to the substance abuse (SA) treatment and related fields. Additionally, the Knowledge Application Program (KAP) has been responsible for production of CSAT?s premiere publication series, Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs). The current KAP has also been charged with considering the most effective formats for presenting TIPs to each of its intended audiences, and determining whether the specialized knowledge contained in the TIPs is actually reaching and being adopted by those most in need of that knowledge. The current KAP contract has begun to address the need for SA treatment knowledge to be synthesized and packaged in different ways depending on the target audience. For example, new formats known as ?collateral products? have been developed to supplement the standard TIP document in order to better meet the needs of some audiences. The existing KAP program was built on the following premises: 1) Treatment information needs to be presented to target audiences through a range of media and learning approaches including interactive workshops, Internet training courses and videos as well as the traditional training classes and written publications; and 2) To be most useful, information must be specifically tailored to the particular needs of specialized provider groups and must also be culturally relevant when appropriate. The next generation of KAP must support the strong emphasis at SAMHSA on the Science to Services and Workforce Development initiatives. Successful implementation of the science to services cycle requires a strong monitoring and feedback component. Within the context of this requirement, offerors should demonstrate how they will promote SAMHSA's new focus on disseminating effective interventions rather than generating new ones, support performance monitoring systems, assess impact of fidelity vs. adaptation on outcomes of treatment provider use of both KAP and non-KAP products, and provide input to the scientific community regarding new research priorities and service gaps for the substance abuse treatment field. A DRAFT Statement of Work and DRAFT Quality Assurance Surveillance will be posted on the FedBizOps. The items are posted to obtain industry comments and industry standards, if applicable. Industry comments on the DRAFT Statement of Work and DRAFT Quality Assurance Surveillance should be sent directly to ltantard@samhsa.gov. Comments will be received until May 10, 2004. The estimated date for issuance of this RFP is May 13, 2004 with proposal responses due June 14, 2004. This solicitation may be obtained in any of four ways; by mail; picked up in person at 5515 Security Lane, Suite 640, Rockville, MD 20852; FedBizOps,or, electronically at the SAMHSA web site: http:/samhsa.gov/contracts. Files will not be made available on the Web Site until after the estimated issuance date. If you have a continuing interest in the RFP, notify the individual identified below that you wish copies of amendments to the RFP (if any) sent to you, or check the Web Site regularly for amendments which will also be posted there. Note: If you rely on the Web Site for obtaining amendments, SAMHSA has no way to assure, and therefore assumes no responsibility for assuring you have downloaded these amendments. Requests for copies of the RFP must be made in writing. Requests will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until the supply is exhausted; however, there is no assurance that copies requested after the twentieth day will reach the requestor before the due date for receipt of responses. Requests shall be forwarded to the attention of Lynn Tantardini, Contract Specialist, Division of Contracts Management, OPS, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Rockwall II Building, Room 640, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857. Requests may be sent via fax to (301) 594-0535. Electronic mail and telephone requests will not be honored. * * * * *
