- This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. The purpose of this task is to provide a mechanism for reimbursing definitive medical care provided to National Disaster Medical System (NDMS)-placed patients who were victims of declared disasters or public health emergencies in 2009. Reimbursement, under the guidelines of the NDMS, will be made to hospitals (and licensed practitioners providing medical services to NDMS inpatients within those hospitals) that participate in the NDMS. In summary, the contractor shall independently, and not as an agent of the government, furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, material, equipment, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the government, to develop and administer a claim-based reimbursement program for definitive medical care provided by qualified hospitals and licensed practitioners, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the 24 October 2005 NDMS Partners Memorandum of Agreement (to be provided). The reimbursement program shall cover claims resulting from the activation of the NDMS Interested small businesses are encouraged to respond to this notice.

Failure to definitively address each of these factors will result in a finding that respondent lacks capability to perform the work.
