- Description
- This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought synopsis only. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their size classifications (Large Business, HUBZone 8(a), 8(a), HUBZone, and Small Disadvantage Business) relative to the NAICS Codes. Project Title: Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Data Coordination and Consolidation Center (DCCC) Project Description: The goal of this project is to develop and implement a set of web-based tools to: 1) provide a data collection, storage, analysis and reporting center for CSAP program activities, to include collection and reporting of SAMHSA’s National Outcome Measures (NOMs); 2) provide training and technical assistance to the prevention and other professional users on SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), to promote consistency in understanding and implementation of the SPF; 3) fund epidemiological workgroups in all States not funded through the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant Program (SPF SIG). For this contract, the Offeror will create these tools within existing CSAP web-based resources to maximize the efficiency of product delivery. The technological aspects of this contract require that the web-based tools are user-friendly and that they accurately communicate the requirements of CSAP and SAMHSA around the SPF and the NOMs. The user-friendliness is critical to ensure that the implementation of the SPF produces quality planning and service processes in the prevention field, and that the field can access training and TA to aid in this implementation. Accuracy is critical to ensure that, as states and communities engage in these planning and service processes, they can produce and deliver high quality data for federal reporting requirements. This contract will assume the responsibility for reporting state and community data to CSAP and SAMHSA in timely and easy-to-read formats to help federal staff in assessing substance use trends and effectiveness of CSAP funding. The contract will require participation in national, regional and state workshops and conferences, and the organization of these events as needed, to ensure understanding and use of the web-based tools by relevant audiences. The Offeror must comply with, and assist the government in completion of, all required federal processes, such as OMB clearances, preparation of ad hoc and standard reports and presentation materials, and management of the project. Your responses to the questions provided below will assist the Government in selecting the appropriate acquisition method. Page limit: Maximum 11 pages (font size 10 or larger). In addition, a copy of the company capability statement will be accepted. Responses are due March 31, 2005. The anticipated period of performance is a base year and 4 (12month) option periods.
