REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-2005-94,2005-95 / dated 01-19-2017. STATUTORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is conducted as non-competitive under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) under provisions of the statutory authority of FAR Subpart 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT The NIMH, one of 27 Institute Centers at the NIH, is committed to making important discoveries that improve health and save lives. NIMH is the lead federal agency for research on mental disorders. The mission of NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. The NIMH Intramural Research division plans and conducts basic, clinical, and translational research to advance understanding of the diagnosis, causes, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders through the study of brain function and behavior. NIMH along with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at DHHS is tasked with an initiative to assist the implementation of the Collaborative Care model in HRSA-funded nurse-led safety net clinics. The focus of these clinics is to provide physical, mental and behavioral treatment to underrepresented racial/ethnic minority groups in rural and under-served communities. Project Description Title: Training on Implementing Collaborative Care Model for Behavioral Health Conditions in Nurse-Led Safety-Net Clinics. Statement of Work: Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, material, equipment, and facilities, not otherwise provided by the Government as needed to perform the following tasks. The contractor shall: Establish a training program for successful implementation of Collaborative Care and to provide follow up training to ensure fidelity of the Collaborative Care Delivery to government officials and HRSA grantees receiving funds under the Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention-Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: Behavioral Health Integration (NEPQR-IPCP: BHI) program, supporting successful implementation of the Collaborative Care model for Behavioral Health Conditions, which includes depression, alcohol and substance abuse, suicide prevention and other common mental health conditions in primary care; develop a training program that succesfully implements the "Improving Mood -- Promoting Access to Collaborative Treatment" (IMPACT) model of Collaborative Care; provide services and materials necessary to provide in-person training for government staff and grantees who will be implementing the Collaborative Care model. Purpose and Objectives The goal of this procurement is to obtain access and training on the CMTS to ensure effective delivery of Collaborative Care implementation for grantees who will receive funds under the NEPQR-IPCP: BHI program. The purpose is to facilitate an initiative to assist the implementation of the Collaborative Care model in HRSA-funded nurse-led safety net clinics. The focus of these clinics is to provide physical, mental and behavioral treatment to underrepresented racial/ethnic minority groups in rural and under-served communities. For over 2 decades, NIMH and other federal agencies (e.g., Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs) and foundations (e.g., MacArthur Foundation), have invested heavily in collaborative care research. Evidence from over 100 randomized controlled trials is robust, and suggests that when implemented correctly, collaborative care is effective for depression, anxiety, suicide prevention, and other behavioral health and medical conditions. Collaborative care can: reduce health disparities; is well liked by patients receiving care and providers delivering it; and, is considered a high value (i.e. cost-effective intervention) which increases access to care for people who need it, as well as, promotes continuity of care to help keep people in care once they access it. The Collaborative Care IMPACT model was developed at the University of Washington in 2004 as a multi-site trial established as a cost-effective, evidence-based model of what was to become the "Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions" (AIMS) Center in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington. The AIMS Center has assisted over 600 clinics with implementation of evidence-based "Collaborative Care" programs. This experience has resulted in a thorough understanding of factors that facilitate and hinder effective implementation. The AIMS Center developed the "Care Management Tracking System" (CMTS) that uses spreadsheet registries to track patient outcomes and supports the effective implementation of IMPACT that has been deployed in numerous states throughout the US and Canada and has helped over 90,000 patients receive better care. The registry is also used for program monitoring and to facilitate the delivery of technical assistance. Access to the CMTS license is only available to AIMS Center implementation and research partners. Period of Performance/Contract Type The Period of Performance shall be effective on or around September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018, including one additional subsequent option year performance period, as a Cost-Reimbursement type of contract.
