- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY ? The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) intends to negotiate on a SOLE SOURCE basis with The American College of Surgeons, 633 N. St. Clair, Chicago, IL 60611. The purpose of this project is to continue the development and implementation of the standard trauma care data elements developed by ACS and HRSA during the past two years. This work will support the HRSA Trauma-EMS Systems Program in the provision of technical assistance to the States in their effort to build effective statewide trauma systems. Data Collection is the foundation for building effective statewide trauma programs. Data is a principal driver in trauma systems strategic planning and in trauma care improvement. Trauma data quantifies the magnitude of the injury problem. Unfortunately, most States do not have a comprehensive trauma registry from which to measure the severity of the problem, costs, and personnel needs. Additionally, it is essential to determine the quality of health care delivered and to evaluate patient outcomes. The result of their work will be a minimum standard trauma care dataset for use on the national level, data definitions, and inclusion/exclusion criteria for trauma care. These results will be presented to a larger national group for consensus, and ultimate adoption into trauma registries. The use of standardized trauma care definitions will enhance the quality of data in NTDB and other systems. The further development of online services will increase the usage and distribution of NTDB information. This procurement shall be processed in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions. The period of performance for this project is 16 months. In accordance with FAR 13.106-1, a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition is on file. Proposed contractor, The American College of Surgeons (ACS) maintains the only comprehensive national database of injury records, the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB), which contains over 1.5 million trauma cases from trauma centers across the nation. The NTDB is the only comprehensive database available to trauma centers for benchmarking direct care, complications, length of stay, charges, and patient outcomes. The proposed 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). Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all capability statements received within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to complete 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.
