Notice ID 75N94023R00015
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), on behalf of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), intends to procure support services for the continued operations and maintenance of the USRDS.
In support of the overall NIDDK mission and the mission of the KUH, the objective of this acquisition is to procure services to maintain and to update the USRDS database and to produce the Annual Data Reports (ADRs) which will be the key deliverable under the contract. The USRDS shall have a Contract Management Board (CMB), providing subject matter expertise for each chapter in the Annual Data Report, and the Contractor should have the capability to form a CMB comprising of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for each chapter in the ADR. The CMB must include membership from both CMS and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), since the USRDS receives its data from CMS, and the USRDS relies on critical partnerships with the CDC. It is critical to continue this project because it is congressionally mandated (OBRA 1986) and the USRDS is used as an essential reference by patients and providers and provides details that are essential for the conduct of research in planning studies.
The scope of the USRDS contract would include the requirement of the USRDS CC to make data readily available to the renal community, maintenance and updates of the USRDS data archives, including but not limited to the production of the Annual Data Reports (ADRs) and other specified reports, publication of findings from analysis of the USRDS data, and support of research to the Renal community related to the USRDS.
