- SOL: VA-261-11-RP-0210 Due: April 30, 2011 (est.) Request for Proposal (RFP) - Wound Care Workshop. This will be a sole-source procurement for the Skin Care Program at VA Palo Alto Health Care System, due to the determination that the proposed vendor is the only education organization that provides a comprehensive on-site wound care course for health institutions. Additionally, the course offered by the proposed vendor is the only approved educational pathway to WCC ® (Wound Care Certified) by the National Alliance of Wound Care ® (NAWC ®). The National Alliance of Wound Care is the credentialing body for this National Certification. The proposed vendor is accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA). It is a Multi-Disciplinary Wound Care Certification. Additionally, the proposed vendor is the only education company that offers on-site wound care education. The course is an approved pathway for WCC ® (Wound Care Certified) credentialing. To qualify for the WCC, health professionals are not required to have a bachelors of science degree. All other wound care certifications accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA), require a bachelors degree as one of the qualifications for certification. In addition, none of the other certifying bodies have an education pathway that is offered on-site with the ability to take the national exam for those who qualify and wish to apply for certification. Despite the foregoing, should any potential offerors determine that they can provide for this requirement, they may contact the Contracting Officer below to inquire. However the current intent is to proceed with a sole-source procurement. The NAICS code is 611699, size standard of $7.0 million applies. Product Service code of U099 applies.
