140A1623Q0008/0001 assessments, reports and software?

NO, it is not acceptable to change the trajectory of this project, in terms not utilizing the GAIN SS need and risk screening and assessment instrument and proposing to build a different screening instrument, assessment, reports and software. This is based on the fact that these instruments have been thoroughly validated, vetted and customized to be responsive to Tribes and over 8 years have developed multiple standardized practice/implementation protocols, analysis, datasets and reporting formats based on the use of this specific need and risk instrument. To change all of this in order to build a new instrument would not be in the best interests of this ongoing project. Therefore, the applicant is expected to continue the use of this highly validated need and risk screening instrument, rather than propose or recommend and/or build different or new screening, assessments, reports and software

4) For the purposes of budgeting, how many Tribes should the budget be based on?

The successful contractor should anticipate adding a minimum of 10 tribes annually over the course of the five year project.

5) We are not an Indian owned small business but we are very interested in responding. If there are no qualified responses to this solicitation, will it be re-released for a wider audience to apply?

If no qualified responses are received from the initial solicitation, the opportunity will be re-posted unrestricted.
