R -- ONCOLOGY MEDICAL REVIEW SERVICES SOL Not assigned DUE 030100 POC Ron Ostrich 202 -- 606-0152 WEB: OPM Procurement Home Page, http://www.opm.gov/procure. E-MAIL: Contracting Officer e-mail address, reostric@opm.gov. R -- The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is soliciting proposals for award of an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract for oncology medical review services for the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). Hospitals, medical schools, group practices, joint ventures, or individuals may propose to provide the service. Any contract award resulting from this solicitation will be for a base year and two option years. There will be no guarantee of work beyond the minimum quantities specified in this solicitation. All arrangements with the Contractor for services under this contract after award will be made by the OPM's Office of Insurance Programs, through the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), to be designated at time of contract award. Specific tasks under this contract will be accomplished by "Work Orders" issued by the COR, to be performed at the Contractor's place of business. The Contractor's place of business is to be located in the geographical proximity of the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The COR will provide to the Contractor in writing, a description of each specific proposed task to be performed under the contract, for example, review of disputed oncology service claims, agency consulting, and special projects. At the time the work order is issued, the COR will notify the Contractor and reach a mutual agreement as to the mode and date of pickup and delivery. The majority of work orders will require a one-day priority/expedited review. Where an expedited review is unnecessary, the Contractor will have five calendar days from receipt to deliver the completed work order. Each work order will be at the rate to be established at the time the contract is signed. The Government will have one week to review and accept all work products. OPM will reserve the right to approve/disapprove any individual assigned by a Contractor to work on any individual work order. No additional effort, changes in scope of work, or changes in delivery dates shall be undertaken on an individual work order without the explicit authorization of the COR. Response to this proposal should be received by the Contracting Officer no later than 4:00 PM on Wednesday, March 1, 2000. Contact Ronald E. Ostrich, Contracting Officer, 202-606-0152, REOSTRIC@OPM.GOV. Posted 01/24/00 (W-SN418076). (0024)
