COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MAY 5,1995 PSA#1340Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Contracts Management Branch, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockwall II, 10th Floor, Rockville, Maryland 20857 R -- STATE SYSTEMS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT (SSTAP) SOL
CSAT-95-0016 POC Contact Contract Specialist, Lynn Tantardini, (301)
443- 1150; Contracting Officer, Jacquelyn C. Carey, (301) 443-8805 The
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
contemplates awarding a four year cost-reimbursement contract. The
purpose of this procurement is to assist States in effectively
addressing their needs for improvements in substance abuse treatment
funded by the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block
Grant and related State resources by (1) developing a technical
assistance (TA) plan to implement improvements identified in a
technical review, conducted under another contract, (2) providing
technical assistance based upon the TA plan, and (3) providing ad-hoc
technical assistance based on other needs. The results of this effort
will be to improve States' compliance with Federal block grant
requirements and to enhance the capability of States to provide quality
services through a strengthened systems infrastructure which addresses
the linkages among substance abuse, criminal justice, juvenile
justice, and public health. This will also result in improving the
States' capabilities to address issues of substance abuse services
delivery and financing under State health care reform. Offerors must
demonstrate a capability to develop and execute a comprehensive systems
planning, implementation, and reporting approach, based on the State
AOD systems technical review and technical assistance contract
mechanism originated in 1990 by the Office for Treatment Improvement
(OTI), now known as the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSTAT).
CSAT is one of three Centers which comprise the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The estimated issuance
date of RFP No. CSAT-95-0016 is approximately fifteen (15) calendar
days from the date of this announcement and proposals are due to be
received in the Contracting Office 45 calendar days thereafter. The
solicitation may be obtained in either of two ways; electronically, by
downloading a file from the SAMHSA Bulletin Board System (BBS) at 1
(800) 424-2294 or by mail. To download from the BBS, you should set
your communications program at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and parity at
none (8-1-none). SAMHSA's modems will communicate at 1200 to 9600 BPS
and can negotiate with higher speed modems. If your modem is slower
than 1200 BPS, you will not be able to use this BBS. Our software can
use several common transfer protocols. We recommenc Zmodem if it is
available in your communications program; however any of those listed
on the BBS should prove satisfactory. Large files will be posted as
self extracting compressed files to save time during the transfer.
Hardware compression features in the modems will be relied upon to
provide compression for smaller files. Upon reading the file
electronically downloaded you should determine if you have a continuing
interest in the RFP. If so, you must either write the individual
identified below that you wish copies of amendments to the RFP (if any)
sent to you by mail or check the BBS regularly for amendments which
will also be posted there and can be downloaded electronically. You may
choose either method for obtaining amendments. Note, however, that if
you rely on the BBS for obtaining amendments, at this time we have no
way to assure, and will therefore assume no responsibility for
assuring, you have downloaded these amendments. Request for copies of
the RFP to be mailed must be made in writing. Telephone requests will
not be honored. Requests may also be submitted by facsimile on (301)
