- Description
- The Defense Health Agency (DHA)�intends to award a sole source contract to Nash Healthcare Consulting, LLC, in affiliation with DiGiacomo-Geffers Associates, for�up to�2 years of service providing consultative services in support of the agency's Accreditation and Compliance (AC)�Program.� The agency�established the AC Program in response to the�congressionally directed transition of Military Treatment Facilities from the Services to the authority, direction and control of the DHA.� The AC Program includes a contract with a nationally-recognized Accrediting Organization (AO).� In the conduct of�the AC�Program, the agency requires services to provide onsite accreditation assist visits consistent with the MTF�s mid-cycle review (18-24 months after most recent accreditation survey); conduct patient and system tracers and appropriate interviews to assess compliance with AO standards; conduct a Life Safety Assessment thorough on-site review of the facility and assess compliance with the Life Safety Code;�prepare written reports to the MTF, Market or Region point of contact, and the Contracting Officer's Representative; and provide relevant sample material, policies, and procedures.�The agency has an immediate need for the services, but is not prepared to issue a competitive solicitation. In December 2020, the agency issued a Request For Information/Sources Sought Notice (see HT0011-21-RFI-0092 in archived notices) and, later, consulted another DoD contracting activity concerning a similar procurement.� As a result of this market research, the contracting officer believes Nash Healthcare Consulting would be the only responsible Woman Owned Small Business�(WOSB) to respond to a solicitation for the services and so intends to pursue a sole source award under the procedures at FAR 19.1506 to initiate services until such time as a competitive award can be completed. The determination�to award the�intended sole source contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. All responsible�WOSB concerns�may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. This is not a request for quotes or proposals. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. The Government will review any responses to this notice�to determine whether this procurement may continue under the procedures at FAR 19.1506.�� Responses must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that�a responsible�WOSB has the intent and capability to prepare a proposal in response to a Government solicitation of�such certification consultative�services.� The Government makes no assurance that a�response would result in earlier release of a competitive solicitation. Firms not solicited under this requirement may request a copy of the solicitation, but are advised that authorization for other than full and open competition under FAR 6.3 is under Agency review. A copy of a Justification and Approval will be posted no later than 14 days after a contract award.
