DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT

The determination by the Government to make this requirement a single-sole source is based upon the market research conducted as prescribed in FAR Part 10-Market Research. The results of the market research concluded that Momentive Inc., has the necessary software and capability needed to complete this requirement. This requirement is a software subscription to Momentive Inc., for SurveyMonkey needed to conduct accreditation body look back site visits to a subset of opioid treatment programs (OTPs) that have been the subject of a recent accreditation survey.

Background SurveyMonkey by Momentive Inc., was first used by DPT in 2020 and has been used each year since.

This product serves as an audit tool that allows SAMSHA’s DPT to meet its regulatory requirements of conducting look back site visits to a subset of opioid treatment programs (OTPs) that have been the subject of a recent accreditation survey. This requirement is outlined in 42 CFR §8.5 - Periodic evaluation of accreditation bodies -SAMHSA will evaluate periodically the performance of accreditation bodies primarily by inspecting a selected sample of the OTPs accredited by the accrediting body and by evaluating the accreditation body's reports of surveys conducted, to determine whether the OTPs surveyed and accredited by the accreditation body are in compliance with the Federal opioid treatment standards. As a result of the look behind site visits, there will be an evaluation to determine if there are any deficiencies in the accreditation body's performance that may warrant corrective action or withdrawal of the approval of the accreditation body under §8.6.

Purpose and Objectives The purpose of this contract is to secure a sole-source license software with Momentive Inc., the necessary software audit tool that is required to administer the accreditation body audit tool during regulatory site reviews. SurveyMonkey by Momentive Inc., is a HIPAA compliant and FedRAMP approved secure system that can be used offline with custom analyzation of data has required by the Division of Pharmacologic Therapies (DPT). Unlike most similar software tools that are non-functional offline, SurveyMonkey allows for offline usage that is vital to this requirement. SurveyMonkey has been exclusively used since 2020.

This is because of the potential extensive time and cost it will take the Government to transition from SurveyMonkey to a new system. All previously analyzed data till now may be inaccessible to include the ability to extract data to conduct analysis from previous years.
