Accelerating Change and Transformation in Organizations and Networks II (ACTION II)

The Accelerating Change and Transformation in Organizations and Networks II (ACTION II) is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The contract focuses on healthcare quality improvement, patient safety, and health system transformation initiatives. Task orders under this vehicle primarily support research, evaluation, and implementation of healthcare improvement strategies across various clinical settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, and primary care environments.

The task orders typically range from $200,000 to $20 million, with most contracts lasting between two to three years and utilizing cost-plus fixed fee or firm fixed price pricing structures. Key focus areas include implementing patient safety programs, reducing hospital-acquired infections, evaluating healthcare technology adoption, developing safety intervention toolkits, and conducting comprehensive studies on healthcare delivery system improvements. None of the task orders were set aside for specific small business categories, and they appear to be awarded to multiple prime contractors with expertise in healthcare research and quality improvement. The majority of task orders are focused on national-level healthcare initiatives, with research and implementation activities spanning multiple states including Pennsylvania, Utah, Maryland, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and the District of Columbia.
