AI Contract Overview

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), via the Program Support Center, intends to award a sole source simplified acquisition contract to the Rand Corporation to conduct a multi-site evaluation of the Co-Occurring State Infrastructure Grant Program (COSIG). The evaluation will be designed collaboratively with participating COSIG states, which will supply primary data. The contractor is responsible for developing and executing the evaluation under SAMHSA's oversight, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data to assess the program’s effectiveness throughout the 2003 COSIG Initiative. Qualitative data will focus on understanding financing, organizational, and clinical objectives at demonstration sites, documenting strategies used to meet these goals and challenges encountered. This will involve interviews with key staff at state, local, and provider agency levels. Quantitative analysis will track consumer changes in service access and utilization, alongside efforts to evaluate care quality and alignment with best practice guidelines, potentially using administrative records and chart review. This acquisition is conducted as a simplified sole source procurement under FAR 6.302, with the government intending to negotiate exclusively with Rand Corporation. However, interested parties are permitted to express their interest or submit proposals within seven days of the notice’s publication, though the government retains full discretion on whether to compete the procurement. Responses will primarily inform the decision about competitive procurement, without guaranteeing further actions. The contract aims to rigorously evaluate COSIG’s impact on co-occurring disorder services, providing insights that can inform future service delivery improvements.
