6. SUPERVISION & QUALITY CONTROL:

The primary agent/official responsible for monitoring this procurement in a project officer capacity and who will be verifying that all supplies and/or services have been received and delivered will be Torrey Darkenwald, Clinical Services Administrator, Northern Cheyenne Service Unit.

Contractor time and attendance logs shall be utilized, kept on file, and verified by the COR. The Contracting

Officer, or his/her designated representative is authorized to review by onsite survey, through review of records, or through any other reasonable manner the quality of care rendered under this contract. Adequate records shall be maintained to reflect the accuracy with respect to claims submission as well as for quality of care. The IHS Chart

Review Tool shall be used in evaluation of records. The Contractor shall comply with and assist in all Quality

Assurance activities necessary for the Government to maintain accreditation.

7. SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS:

Contractors cannot serve as expert witnesses in any suit against the Federal Government. Many of the IHS patients receiving services may only speak a native language and/or reside on a Native American Reservation, therefore, the Contractor must demonstrate sensitivity to cross-cultural and language differences.

The Privacy Act of 1974 mandates that the Contractor maintain complete confidentiality of all administrative, medical and personnel records, and all other pertinent information that comes to his/her attention or knowledge.

The Privacy Act carries both civil and criminal penalties for unlawful disclosure of records. Violation of such confidentiality shall be cause for adverse action. The Contractor shall comply with IHS facility infection control and safety procedures, practices, and standards.

8. NON-PERSONAL HEALTHCARE SERVICE CONTRACT:

This procurement is a non-personal Healthcare service contract, as defined in FAR 37.101, under which the

Contractor is an independent contractor. The Government may evaluate the quality of professional and administrative services provided, but retains no control over the medical and professional aspects of services rendered (e.g., professional judgments, diagnosis for specific medical treatment). The Contractor shall indemnify the Government for any liability producing acts or omissions by the Contractor, its employees and agents occurring during contract performance. The Contractor shall maintain medical liability insurance, which is not less than the amount normally prevailing within the local community for the medical specialty concerned. The

Contractor is required to ensure that its subcontracts for provisions of Healthcare services contain the requirements of the clause at 52.237-7, Indemnification and Medical Liability Insurance (Jan 1997).

52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The offers must contain a technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i). TECHNICAL: Sub-Factors:

Technical Capabilities. The offeror will be evaluated based upon their capabilities as they relate to this requirement and upon their understanding of this project.

Management Approach: The offeror will be evaluated based upon their proposed plan to manage personnel, resources, and quality control in order to execute the award. Offeror should specify the applicable background and experience of key staff for their work in areas relevant to this project. Include CV, Resume, and Availability. The candidates presented will represent a sample of the typical qualifications and expertise that can be expected in the performance of the contract.

(ii). PAST PERFORMANCE – Sub-Factors:

Relevance/Quality: The offeror will be evaluated based upon the relevance and quality of past contracts/jobs performed. NOTE: The Government reserves the right to contact any reference provided by the offeror in evaluating the offeror’s past performance. Furthermore, the Government reserves the right to use any information that comes to the attention of the Government in evaluating the offeror.

Performance Confidence: The Government’s assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the requirements of the project based on the offeror’s experience level to projects similar in size and scope to this requirement.

Price will be evaluated to determine whether it is reasonable and if the quotation reflects an understanding of the requirement. This factor will be evaluated as identified in FAR Part

15.305(a)(1). Analysis will include review of price reasonableness and balanced pricing.

Offerors are cautioned that "materially unbalanced" prices and/or unreasonably high or low prices may cause your quotation to be deemed unacceptable and rejected.

mailto:Kenneth.Nicholson@ihs.gov

Project Title

All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are approximately equal to cost or price.

Best Value-Trade Offs: The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the low priced quoter if another superior technical submission, or a submission indicating a reduced performance risk, warrants paying a premium. As non-price factors are evaluated closer to one another between quotes, price will become more significant. Furthermore, the Government reserves the right to award no order at all, depending on the quality of the quotes, the availability of funding and the continued existence of the requirement.
