Academic Detailing Outreach and Education Program

The District of Columbia is seeking proposals for an Academic Detailing Outreach and Education Program, a contract opportunity posted on May 2, 2014, with a submission deadline of May 12, 2014. This procurement appears to be focused on healthcare education and outreach services, likely targeting specific medical or public health intervention strategies. The contract seeks a vendor capable of delivering comprehensive academic detailing services, which typically involve direct educational interventions with healthcare providers to improve clinical practices and patient outcomes. The specific deliverables likely include developing educational materials, conducting professional training sessions, and implementing targeted outreach programs. While detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly stated in the provided information, contractors would presumably be assessed on their expertise in healthcare education, prior experience with similar public health initiatives, and demonstrated ability to effectively communicate complex medical information. The compressed timeline between posting and submission dates suggests an expedited procurement process, requiring potential bidders to prepare and submit comprehensive proposals quickly.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. However, given the nature of academic detailing and public health programming, potential respondents would likely need substantial qualifications in healthcare education, medical communication, and professional training methodologies. The lack of information about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure suggests this might be a new or restructured program initiative. While no specific budget range is provided in the available information, academic detailing programs typically require significant investment in professional expertise, research, curriculum development, and direct outreach activities. Potential contractors would need to demonstrate substantial capabilities in designing and implementing evidence-based educational interventions for healthcare professionals, with a likely emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches and measurable impact on clinical practices.
