- Description
- Dominican Republic MAT Pilot to reduce HIV in PWID Pursuant to the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Program Support Center (PSC), Acquisition Management Services (AMS), on behalf of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to sole source to: University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus Box 365067 San Juan, PR 00936-5067 The contractor is to collaborate with International, Dominican Government, and local partners on the development of a curriculum and training materials related to Medication Assisted Treatment with Buprenorphine for PWIDs in the Dominican Republic. The goal of engaging PWIDs in MAT is to decrease the risk for infection or re-infection with HIV. SAMHSA requests a sole source contracting with Dr. Angel González and Dr. Salvador Santiago through the University of Puerto Rico Graduate, School of Public Health Medical Sciences Campus. This sole source is based on their expertise in Medical Assisted Treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine-naloxone to reduce HIV transmission among injecting drug users (IDU). They are both internationally recognized scholar in this area and they have experience delivering technical assistance to the Ministry of Health from the Dominican Republic. They both understand the situation on the ground in terms of knowledge gaps within the Dominican Republic health system and have significantly contributed as mentors and trainers not only in Puerto Rico but also in other countries. They are the best qualified individuals for this project and sole source contracting will allow for a timely implementation and assurance for meeting the project goals. Dr. Angel González and Dr. Salvador Santiago is a leader in the area of substance abuse prevention and treatment specifically with a focus on opioid medication interventions and a developer of culturally competent models of addiction therapy for individuals of Latin and Caribbean descent. Should alternate sources become available, we will reconsider at that time. This is not a solicitation for competitive proposal. No solicitation document is available. All responsible sources that have determined that they can provide the same services may submit product information and a capabilities statement that speaks to the services SAMHSA is seeking in this proposed acquisition. The email subject line must reference SAM159933. All responses are due by August 31, 2015, 12:00 PM Eastern Time and can be sent to Anthony Adebayo at Anthony.adebayo@psc.hhs.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract base upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
