About this opportunity
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is seeking a contractor to provide evaluation services for a Produce Prescription Pilot Program in Native communities. The solicitation aims to support the development, management, and facilitation of an evaluation framework for implementing produce prescription programs across five tribal communities. The contractor will be responsible for creating a comprehensive evaluation methodology, including process and outcome evaluations, data collection and analysis, and organizing meetings and training sessions for program grantees. Evaluation criteria will prioritize technical capabilities, followed by past performance and price, with a focus on the contractor's ability to support nutrition security initiatives. Key deadlines include May 6th, 2025, for submitting questions and May 27th, 2025, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time for quote submissions, with the agency anticipating an award between June and July 2025.
The contract is an unrestricted acquisition using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12 and 13 procedures, with no specific set-aside designations. There is no incumbent contractor for this requirement. The contract will be structured as a firm fixed-price, level-of-effort arrangement with cost-reimbursable travel and other direct costs, spanning a base period of one year and four potential one-year option periods. The total contract value will be determined during the evaluation process, with the initial program supporting five tribal communities that received $500,000 each in 2023 and 2024. The place of performance is located in Rockville, MD 20851, and the contract falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541690 for Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services.
