Data Purchasing Project (Navippro)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Inflexxion, Inc. for Purchase proprietary data source for in-depth information on substance use patterns, including substances used, routes of use, demographic, social, legal, medical, psychiatric, and employment data on individuals being screened for or entering substance abuse treatment. Although current surveillance systems such as the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) and the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) do provide essential data on substance use patterns, the NAVIPPRO system provides data that is not well-captured in either of these data sources or other Federal data systems. We require the data system to provide information on individuals who have other substance use disorders with or without an opioid use disorder. In addition, we require a data system that uses a validated assessment instrument such as the ASI. Our desire to purchase these data is based on an assessment of the current Federal and proprietary surveillance systems and their gaps. The NAVIPPRO system meets our specific requirements and that other proprietary systems do not. This contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). 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 quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within Thirty (30) days of the issuance of this notice 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.
