- Special Notice This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts or quotations. All responses may be used for market analysis in determining the availability of potential qualified businesses for the purposes of determining an appropriate acquisition strategy. The Portland Area Indian Health Service (IHS) intends to award a contract to the Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc. (NARA) for a Portland-based youth residential treatment facility serving eligible male and female youths from Federally recognized tribes in Oregon and other states. This procurement will be set-aside for Indian-owned and controlled businesses. IHS will utilize acquisition sole-source procedures under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1(a)(1) "Citations: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1)" for the Indian Health Service. This notice of intent to award is not a request for competitive proposals. The purpose of this notice is merely to obtain capability statements to allow interested firms an opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications for the standards below. Project Background: The Portland Area Indian Health Service provides access to health care for an estimated 150,000 American Indian/Alaska Native residents of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Health delivery services are provided by a mix of health centers, health stations, preventative health programs and urban programs. Health centers provide a wide range of clinical services and are open 40 hours each week. Health stations provide a limited range of clinical services and usually operate less than 40 hours per week. Preventive programs offer counselor and referral services. The Portland Area Indian Health Service operates six Federal health facilities in five Tribal communities and one at Chemawa Indian School. Tribes operate health facilities under the authority of the Indian Self-determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended), Titles 1 and V. Twenty-five Tribes have Title V compacts and there are twenty-one Tribes or Tribal organizations that contract under Title 1. Overall, Tribes administer more than 74% of the Portland Area budget authority appropriation through Self-Determination contracts or Self-Governance compacts. There are also three Urban programs with services ranging from community health to comprehensive primary health care services. The Purpose of this contract is to establish a Portland-based youth residential treatment facility serving eligible youths from Federally recognized tribes in Oregon and other states. The facility will provide residential care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year to assist youths to recover from complex substance use disorders and related consequences of problematic use. The facility will provide culturally respectful and responsive care to youths, their families and communities as funding and staffing capacity permit. Other services may be provided, including educational programming, medical and emergency referrals as needed, and referrals for mental health services. Youths generally present with complex trauma, significantly impairing mental health disorders, psychosocial difficulties, behavioral problems, and other conditions. This procurement action is to allow the establishment of a long-term youth treatment program within the Portland area. Interested concerns may identify their interest and submit a capability statement that demonstrates their ability to provide the services required in the timeframe required. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
