- Description
- The NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC), Norfolk, Contracting Department, Philadelphia Office intends to acquire with UpToDate, Inc., virtual medical evidence based clinical support services for the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Enterprise. Navy health care professionals require access to an in depth, accurate, complete, unbiased, evidence-based treatment plans and peer reviewed clinical information to be used at the point of care (chairside). We acknowledge that there are two products that meet this requirement, UpToDate and DynaMed Plus. Defense Health Agency (DHA) already placed a contract for a point of care evidence based tool (POCEBT) for the Navy with DynaMed Plus with Ebsco Industries, Inc. The Navy recognizes a need at this time for both products because they complement each other and it is not ideal for medical care providers to rely on one single product. UpToDate is preferred for clinicians that have limited or little experience in specific areas of medicine. The treatment plans shall be distinct and provide guidelines for how a resolution to a patient medical condition should occur. This electronic clinical reference topical review database subscription is required to support our junior physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and independent duty corpsmen (IDC) with the ability to input symptoms that a patient presents to them leading to a list of possible diseases or disorders that they can then narrow down to the actual disease, disorder or condition that they have leading to treatment of the patient. This is especially needed as many of our remote located clinics do not have easy access to consultation with specialist providers. These providers are often the sole providers where they work. These are also the providers that work on Navy vessels, both submarines and ships. Patient education information in the form of handouts that can be printed out is integral to this product. The service shall also provide a resource of vetted articles that are suitable to provide to patients. This topical review database is required for physicians and medics as a first-line comprehensive and primary source of information. FLC ™s intent is to process this procurement with UpToDate, Inc. based out of Waltham, Massachusetts. FLC ™s intent is to issue a firm fixed price contract. The Period of Performance is from 01 September 2017 through 31 August 2018, plus one one-year option period ending 31 August 2019, if the option is exercised. The proposed contract action is for services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested offerors may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit a capability statement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The proposed procurement is being processed as a sole source unrestricted-full and open basis. The solicitation number is N00189-17-R-Z106 and the applicable NAICS code is 511120. Please send any and all questions to Maynard Lee, LT, Contract Negotiator, email maynard.lee@navy.mil.
