AI Contract Overview

The Indian Health Service (IHS) plans to enter into a sole-source agreement with Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) for a no-cost license of immunization forecasting software, contingent on acceptable negotiation terms. This software module must be compatible with the IHS Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS) and provide up-to-date immunization forecasts for both pediatric and adult clinical care within the Indian health care system. The module will replace the current Clinical Decision Support for immunizations (CDSi) provided by the ImmServe module, which will no longer be supported after December 31, 2013. Key requirements include coverage of all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) vaccines for all ages, seamless integration into the RPMS without significant modifications, and no additional technical or hardware demands for local RPMS instances. Furthermore, the software should support both local deployment and centralized service delivery models. Following its market research, IHS determined that the TCH application is the only viable solution meeting all specifications. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, IHS invites interested parties to express their interest or submit proposals within fifteen days of the notice’s publication. The government will consider submissions to decide whether to proceed with a competitive procurement, but the final decision on competition remains at the government's discretion. The contracting officer for this procurement is Dale M Burson.

Full Description

The Indian Health Service (IHS) intends to solicit from a single source and enter into an agreement with Texas Children's Hospital (TCH), 6621 Fannin Street, Houston, TX 77030, for a no cost license for immunization forecasting software, subject to negotiation of acceptable terms. The IHS requires a software module compatible with the IHS Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS) to provide up to date forecasting of immunizations that are due, for clinical users providing care to children and adults across the Indian health care system. Clinical Decision Support for immunizations (CDSi) is currently provided in the RPMS by the ImmServe module supplied by Medical Decision Associates (MDA). MDA will no longer support ImmServe after December 31, 2013, and IHS requires a new module that can be integrated with the RPMS and widely deployed before that date. IHS requirements for CDSi include: 1) The module shall include and accurately forecast all Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended vaccines for all age groups; 2) The module shall integrate and operate within the RPMS environment without substantial modification to either the CDSi module or the RPMS; 3) The module shall not introduce new technical, hardware or software requirements for facilities employing local instances of the RPMS and CDSi; 4) The module shall be designed to permit both local (direct connection to a co-located RPMS instance) and centralized (CDSi as a service) deployment of the CDSi module. The IHS concluded based on its market research that the TCH application is the only source reasonably available that meets all requirements. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within fifteen days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
