Zone Program Integrity Contractor

Cycle Two Amendment 000001

This amendment is issued to correct Section L.10.i, Intent to Submit a Proposal, Zone 2 and is replaced in its entirety as follows (change bolded):

i.

Intent to Submit a Proposal: The Offeror shall indicate its intent to submit a proposal, by Zone, for this solicitation as follows:

Zone 2 May 23, 2008 (1:00 pm Eastern Time)

Zone 1 June 12, 2008 (1:00 pm Eastern Time)

This notice shall be submitted via e-mail with the subject title “ZPIC Cycle Two Zone (1 or 2) Intent to Submit a Proposal” to the following address:

For Zone 2: Nicole.Hoey@cms.hhs.gov

For Zone 1: Gina.Romano@cms.hhs.gov

Oral presentations will be scheduled when CMS is notified of the Offeror's intent to submit a proposal. When submitting an intent, please provide the appropriate point of contact for scheduling the oral presentation including name, title, address, e-mail and phone number.

NOTE: Please be advised that intent to submit a proposal is not binding on the Offeror and is for planning/scheduling purposes only. In addition, an Offeror that submits a negative intent to bid response is not precluded from actually submitting a proposal. However, if you submit intent to bid and then later decide that you will not be submitting a proposal, please e-mail Nicole Hoey for Zone 2: Nicole.Hoey@cms.hhs.gov or Gina Romano for Zone 1:Gina.Romano@cms.hhs.gov, so that scheduling adjustments can be made. This will allow CMS to efficiently schedule oral presentations and maximize the best use of the limited time available to make award of the Zone Program Integrity Contractors.
