- Description
- THIS NOTICE IS ISSUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDANCE FOR THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 AND FAR SUBPART 5.705. Contract Number SB1341-11-CN-0011 was awarded to Wiklund Research and Design of Concord, MA, on February 28, 2011, in the amount of $1,206,648.00. All work was required to be completed not later than February 27, 2012. Work required under this contract shall provide all labor, materials and equipment necessary to develop Usability Guidelines and an Evaluation Framework for Electronic Health Records Systems. The above referenced work is being completed under a time and materials contract. Due to multiple unknowns associated with the project, a firm fixed price could not be established with any reasonable degree of confidence. Unknowns include: uncertainty regarding the frequency and location of meetings that the Contractor will require to complete the required work; uncertainty with respect to the number of Electronic Health Record Systems (EHRs) available and being utilized in the professional marketplace; and use of a firm fixed price contract was anticipated to limit competition and increase the cost to the Government due to a significant amount of risk. Modification 002 is being issued to extend the period of performance and completion dates for deliverables. The extension is required due to Government delays associated with a post-award protest as well as Institutional Review Board and Paperwork Reduction Act approvals required prior to the start of the research protocols. The period of performance has been extended through December 31, 2012. Due dates for deliverables are being modified accordingly. The total amount of the contract remains unchanged.
