R499--Evidence Based Clinical Practice Guidelines

The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) intends to solicit for a five year, firm fixed price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Evidence Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG). Implementation of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines is one strategy Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has embraced to improve care by reducing variation in practice and systematizing best practices. Guidelines address patient cohorts, serve to reduce errors, and provide consistent quality of care and utilization of resources throughout and between Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) health care systems. Guidelines are also cornerstones for accountability and facilitate learning and the conduct of research. The guidelines on the site are those endorsed by the VA/DoD Evidence Based Practice Work Group.

This requirement will be solicited on an unrestricted basis. The NAICS Code will be 541990. The IDIQ contract will include developing CPG, updating published CPG, conversion of CPG, Focus Groups, and Website development. Further information will be provided in solicitation 36C10G23R0012 which will be posted in Federal Business Opportunities website, www.sam.gov, around 15 days after the release of this notice.
