- Description
- RFI Medical/Dental Consultation Services, USMEPCOM The U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), Center for Health Care Contracting (CHCC), on behalf of United States Military Entrance Processing Command (USMEPCOM), has developed this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit market research information from industry to assist the Government with analysis of a Government requirement and provide commercial insight on performance-based solutions, best practices, possible contractual arrangements, and potential issues. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. It is not a Request for Proposal, a Request for Quotation, an Invitation for Bids, a Solicitation, or an indication the CHCC will contract for the items contained in the RFI. This RFI is part of a Government market research effort to determine the scope of industry capabilities and interest and will be treated as information only. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and the Government will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this RFI. Responses to this RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the result of the review. If a Solicitation is issued, it will be announced on the Federal Business Opportunities website http://www.fbo.gov at a later date, and all interested parties must respond to that Solicitation announcement separately from any response to this announcement. This RFI does not restrict the Governments acquisition approach on a future Solicitation. The Governments requirement is to obtain a non-personal services contract to establish a qualified medical and dental provider network for the scheduling of specialty physician and dental consultations, diagnostic tests and clinical laboratory services consisting of private civilian medical and dental professionals. The contractor shall be required to schedule approximately 59,000 consultations per year over 65 Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) located throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. A draft performance work statement (PWS) is attached to this announcement. It is anticipated that any resultant contract(s) that might result from this survey would have a period of performance from 01 October 2011 through 30 September 2012 and will have four option years. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 621111; and the small business size standard is $10.0M. The Government desires that respondents offer their experience and recommendations on the following questions and issues related to the USMEPCOM requirements. (1) What is the normal length of a contract for the services being contemplated? (2) Are there normally any special terms or conditions or unique contract structure associated with the services? (3) Is there a particular CLIN structure that is preferred (i.e. by specialty, location, etc.)? (4) What is your standard rate for these services? (5) How is malpractice insurance handled in referral networks? Does the contractor maintain an umbrella policy or do individual providers have their own insurance? (6) Do you have a catalog or other published product literature on these services? If so, please provide this information. (7) How familiar are you with HIPAA and DIPAC requirements? (8) Are there any innovative approaches used by your company? (9) Do you provide any type of guarantee for your service? (10) What makes your company a market leader? (11) Who are some of your customers (past and present)? (12) What is the business size standard of your company (small business, SDB, SDVOSB, Hubzoned, 8a, Large, etc)? If 8a eligible, please provide current status regarding your scheduled graduation date from the 8a program under this NAICS code. (13) Discuss any concerns you may have with the attached draft performance work statement. (14) What kinds of performance assessment methods are commonly used? (15) Please list if you provide services to Industry and/or Government.
