Description

The Agency Of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration(SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, (CSAT), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), through the Division of Acquisition Management (DAM), Program Support Center(PSC), plans to award a 12 month sole source contract using simplified acquisition procedures, to the National Association for Children of Alcoholics (NACOA), 11426 Rockville Pike, Suite 100, Rockville, MD 20852. The anticipated date of award is April 7, 2005. The Purpose of this contract will develop consumer-oriented products as well as use existing materials, such as publications and videos, and repackage them for use at the congregational level across denominations. Topics will include understanding addiction, and the importance of finding the support and help for the affected individuals and family members, and to empower them to initiate and sustain steps toward recovery. In addition the initiative will create and conduct a training program for representatives of faith congregations in one designated pilot city on how to use the materials effectively to provide support, direction and hope to their congregants and other consumers in their communities. These materials will be provided directly to members of faith congregations to help support their individual and family efforts to prevent alcohol and drug problems, to intervene on them as appropriate, and to find the support they need to prevent, address or recover from alcohol and drug addiction. Possible Publications: 1. Pamphlet or booklet for children and youth: When a Parent Drinks Too Much Or Is Using Drugs, What Can I Do? A simple guide to understanding addiction, to acknowledging the fear, pain and confusion it causes, and the importance of finding trusted adults to help and support him, and where and how to find them. 2. Posters, flyers, ad slicks, and drop-in articles for publication in both congregational bulletins and community religious press to provide on-going education, encouragement and support to affected individuals and family members to help them recognize the family nature of addiction and to be empowered to initiate and sustain steps toward recovery. 3. Pamphlet: Helping a Loved One Get Into Treatment and Recovery: A Family Guide to Intervention ? would include information on 12-step programs for family members as well as basic intervention strategies. It would be designed to be complementary to SAMHSA?s new booklet on treatment for family members. Training Materials: A Guide for Congregational Leadership Teams on: How to maximize the packet of materials, How to motivate congregants ? both adults and children ? to study and use the materials and what strategies for displaying and promoting the materials would be most effective, How to provide clear, simple and effective messages to help establish an atmosphere that promotes addressing addiction and supports recovery for the whole family How to address the issues of spirituality being blocked in the face of addiction in the family and the role of spirituality in recovery, and How to support a recovering person?s requesting to present his/her fifth step. Video(s), taken from Recovery Month Webcasts already in existence, which could be included in the packets and recommended for the congregation?s ?lending library.? The contractor shall provide the following but not be limited to: Provide SAMHSA/CSAT with a contract plan within 15 days of contract award. After the contract plan, the contractor shall submit status reports for the end of 1st quarter, mid-year, 3rd quarter and final report. Reports must include work completed, work in progress with completion dates and planned work. Report must address accomplishments as well as areas of recommendation to increase the success of the contract. Create proposed publications and materials listed above if approved by the Agency for publication. All newly created publications must be cleared through the proper HHS/OASPA/SAMHSA/CSAT clearance process. Printing must be completed through the Government Printing Office. Pending government final budget, at least one (1) of the proposed three (3) publications must be produced. If federal printing dollars are available, all products could be required. Design a program (campaign) to distribute packets to congregations across one city and its environs (as a test of their usefulness to the affected consumers), and engage local organizations to participate in the delivery and follow-up. Detroit is suggested as a test site because there is broad and diverse representation of faith and ethnic communities in the metropolitan area, and the contractor has three affiliate organizations and many members active in the substance abuse treatment and prevention fields in the Detroit metropolitan area who could be an integral part of a distribution project and follow-up support. Create and conduct a training program for representatives of faith congregations in the designated city on how to use the materials effectively to provide support, direction and hope to their congregants and other consumers in their communities. Contractor shall work to find additional funds in the local metropolitan area where this project would be initiated and tested. Not only would this increase the number of materials made available to consumers needing help, it would engage local sponsoring organizations and make ?buy-in? for sustaining the project more likely. The proposed simplified acquisition is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source Under Authority of Far 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest by responding to the requirement within 10 days after the date of publication of this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed simplified acquisition 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. No solicitation is available. For further information, please contact Nora Tyson in Rm. 5C-03, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Md. 20857 or on 301-443-5229.
