- Description
- Statement of Work Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to The University of Illinois Chicago for Senior and Junior Level Faculty Instructors from the University of Illinois Chicago for the "UIC Year-Long Courese" sponsored by MCHEP.. Because the CDC/MCHEP developed previous learning collaboratives, in association with UIC faculty to enhance the analytic skills of CDC and state staff, UIC has a programmatic experience and historical perspective on this project. In 2006, the MCHEP developed a learning collaborative with UIC faculty to enhance the analytic skills of CDC and state staff. Specifically, the one year course was focused on multilevel modeling techniques. During the second course in 2007, training specifically focused on analysis of data contained in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). During 2008, the course topic was providing appropriate data to support the MCH Block Grant five year Needs Assessment. This learning collaborative provided additional statistical and analytic training to both CDC MCH epidemiology assignees in the field, and state MCH program and epidemiologic staff. The direct impact of this joint course is exemplified in the fact sheets, data and policy briefs included in the 2010 MCH Block Grant Needs Assessment. Each participating team provided feedback to the instructors and CDC on their use of the finalized analyses. The most recent course has targeted state, regional, and national level analyses using complex sample surveys. These analyses must be composed of research questions relevant to each participating state or linked to Title V state priorities. To continue highlighting the benefit and impact of this collaborative and capacity building effort, the MCHEP funded a journal supplement. This supplement provided recognition to state staff and their continued efforts to utilize data pertinent to their states. UIC faculty members have conducted training for the two-year course beginning in 2009, and have extensive experience and access to the program. This level of familiarity and access to resources will allow CDC to complete the project using a minimal amount of resources for the maximum benefit. Considering that all of the groundwork for this project has already been established by the UIC, it is the only practical source able to meet the end-use requirements of this agency 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) 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 quotations/responses received within ten (10) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government 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 quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at VWL0@cdc.gov by 5:00 P.M., August 3, 2014 FAR REFERENCE: FAR 5.207- Preparation and transmittal of synopses under (c)(15), (c)(16) (i), and (c)(16)(ii).
