About this file
This document contains the Questions and Answers for Request for Quotation (RFQ) 75N95024Q00388, which is seeking services related to the "Accuracy of the New Diagnostic Code to Identify Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis in Archived Electronic Health System Data."
The RFQ provides details on the scope of work, which includes algorithm development but does not require the creation of SQL queries. It clarifies that background checks are not required for the contractor or its employees, and that historical data ranging from 1 to 5 years will be needed. The statement of work includes additional protocol development as part of Task 2. The estimated workload for data reviewers is 150-300 items per patient. Data will be extracted from a single hospital. Past performance can come from both corporate and independent contracting experience, and resumes highlighting candidates' expertise can be included. The interim and final reports should focus on summary tables and statistical evaluations of the accuracy of the ICD codes. The anticipated period of performance is 36 months from the date of award, and the acquisition will be a firm fixed-price purchase order.
