- Description
- PUBLIC NOTICE: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis with the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ), 20 University Road, 7th Floor, Cambridge, MA 02138 to develop and implement a continuous quality improvement process across Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) programs that will enhance the services to children with special health care needs. Because NICHQ has copyrighted the Medical Home SPREAD Planner tool, which is at the core of the requirement, NICHQ holds proprietary rights over specific processes and protocols developed for MCHB programs that have been piloted with the Universal Hearing Screening, Epilepsy and Medical Home Collaboratives. The need to have these consistent processes for the nationwide promotion and evaluation of these efforts is what makes NICHQ the only responsible source without a duplication of development cost to the Government for a similar planning tool. It would be unlikely that these costs would be recovered through competition. Therefore, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1), NICHQ is determined to thebe the only responsible source. A Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition is on file. This announcement is for information only and is not a solicitation or request for a proposal. See note 22 of this website.
