- Description
- The Centers for Disease Control, NIOSH, Cincinnati, OH has a requirement to: update and expand in number and scope, the existing Highmark's, Inc. databases for industry analysis of medical claims; to conduct analysis of rates and costs of diseases that will be used in reports to employers; and to support tracking and reporting on outreach to employers. NIOSH has been working the last four years to develop methods of calculating and interpreting industry disease rates using group medical claims and insurance enrollment data. The goal is to provide useful information to employers that will identify prevention opportunities and to indicate need for further investigation of associations between particular industries and health conditions. Purchase of additional detailed data and analysis for priority diseases and of reports on outreach to employers using analysis results and prevention recommendations from NIOSH will enable timely demonstration of a new model of occupational tracking and prevention. No solicitation is available, however interested parties may request a copy of the scope of work. The Government intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Independence Blue Cross as the only insurer who currently has developed the capability of calculating specific disease rates by detailed industry and who is prepared to convey this information to employers along with recommendations for prevention. The time period for this project is September 1, 2006 through October 15, 2007. Responsible sources that believe they possess the expertise and capabilities identified above are encouraged to submit to the Contracting Officer within 15 days from the posting date of this notice their written specifications and supporting information in the format they choose, not to exceed 10 pages. Please submit capabilities and supporting information to: Brenda L. Goodwin, REFERENCE: HCC54-2006-34541, CDC/PGO/AAFB, 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, WV 26505, v 304/285-5882, fax 304/285-6083 or e-mail bcg1@cdc.gov. The Government will review any/all information submitted and determine if other qualified sources that could perform the effort. Information received in response to this notice will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), negotiations will be on a sole source basis conducted for the Independence Blue Cross as the only source meeting our needs and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted.
