Behavioral Health Services Information System (BHSIS)

This cost-reimbursement requirement was competitively solicited to all small businesses via SAM.gov. The rationale for using other than a fixed-priced approach was due to the nature of the work being solicited. The contractor will be required to not only continue the work being carried out on the BHSIS contract including data collections and systems, but they will also need to create a new data collection survey that will combine two legacy surveys into one. Additionally, a new this acquisition will support the redesign of the SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Locator, and the migration of all the major BHSIS assets to the AWS Cloud. As all of this work is new, there is no historical data to help SAMHSA or the contractor to determine the cost of doing this work, therefore requiring a fixed-price contract is not feasible.
