Develop culturally adapted cancer navigation training

The Indian Health Service seeks to procure the development of a culturally adapted cancer navigation training program through a fixed price purchase order. Key requirements include creating a six-month curriculum focused on the American Indian cancer journey, conducting training for personnel to serve as patient navigators, and evaluating the program's effectiveness. Proposals will be evaluated based on demonstrated expertise in cancer navigation for American Indians, knowledge of rural health barriers, and technical approach. Quotes are due by February 26, 2024.

This opportunity is set aside for Indian small businesses and offers a place of performance in Rockville, Maryland. Evaluation will consider past performance and technical approach equally with cost in determining best value. The training is intended to span six months with payments tied to deliverables such as curriculum development, meetings, and implementation. No incumbent or budget is specified, though the objective is to improve cancer screening and patient coordination for underserved rural communities.
