Contracting Office ZIP Code: 30341 Contract Award and Solicitation Number: 200-2010-F-35288 - MOD 13 and 14; 2010-Q-11924 Contract Award Dollar Amount: $1,998,069.00 (Option 3, Year 4) Contract Line Item Numbers: 0039, 0040, 0041 (Optional Line Items: 0042 and 0043) Contract Award Date: 09/24/2013 (Option 3, Year 4) Contractor: SRA International Inc. Place of Contract Performance: Contractor's site The purpose of this acquisition is to provide contractor support for processing the data collection forms from components of the National Health Care Surveys and related data collection efforts according to specifications provided within the SOW. This is to modify services and exercise these additonal services under Option 3, Year 4. SRA is the incumbent contractor currently providing services for these Tasks, all of which are related to the National Health Care Surveys. The key surveys involved, NAMCS and NHAMCS, are very complex, including a combination of traditional survey data and abstracted medical data, which requires ICD coding. Some particulars related to these surveys have changed dramatically since the initial year of this contract. Originally, the surveys were conducted on paper and pencil, and the contract requirement included extensive data entry and validation, receipt and control, and considerable medical coding. In year two of the contract, the surveys moved to a computerized data collection platform, and the sample quintupled in size. This meant that many of the data management tasks changed completely, with a reduced emphasis on keying but a much greater need for ICD coding. At the same time, several supplements were launched to collect data from the same populations, and with partially overlapping but expanded content. Although the requirements changed, all tasks covered the same survey systems, and performance of the work still required the same highly specific knowledge of content, objectives, data collection procedures, processing requirements, data verification protocols, and coding systems. The knowledge base would be lost if the task had to be started with new support. It would not be possible to process a new contract without incurring extensive additional costs and delays in the production and release of mission-critical data and the urgency of the timeline would not be met. Data from these surveys are used to monitor the effect of major developments in the U.S. health care system. The revised contract tasks were essentially designed to produce faster data that monitors much more specific geographic areas than was previously possible. The work as described in the original contract would not have met the data needs of NCHS and its external partners-rapid changes and the need for more precise data required considerable system reengineering. However, the overall nature of the data, coding requirements, and final dataset specifications remained the same, and the current contractor had very specific experience with these systems and specifications. It was necessary to retain this experience in order to meet the expanding data needs of this contract and urgent timelines.
