- Description
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) intends to award a Simplified Acquisition on a sole source basis to Northwest Indian College, 2522 Kwina Road, Bellingham, Washington 98226-9217. Northwest Indian College, a non-profit organization will provide training to billing coders in tribal communities. These billing coders will be trained and certified to prepare bills for submission to Medicare and Medicaid fiscal agents for payment. Northwest Indian College (NWIC) is the most capable of providing these trainings in these communities given that many of the tribal colleges are very small institutions and do not have sufficient staff to support and meet the demands of a project of this nature. NWIC has the necessary support staff and can conduct a reasonable number of trainings and has an adequate number of students in order to institute the training program. The associated North American Industry Classification System is 611210. The period of performance shall be from September 28, 2005 to September 27, 2006. The purpose of this synopsis is to determine if any other source(s) are able to provide the services outlined herein and announce the Government?s intent to solicit NWIC on an other than full and open competition basis if no other responsible source is identified. All responsible sources may submit a response, which, if received timely, must be considered by the agency. Expressions of interest and statements of capabilities and cost must be emailed to Phillip.Harrell@cms.hhs.gov or faxed to Phillip Harrell at (410)786-9643 or mailed to Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 7500 Security Blvd., Attn: Phillip Harrell, Mail Stop: C2-12-23, Baltimore, Maryland 21244.
