Sources Sought: Federal Occupational Health (FOH) Clinical East Staffing

I. Introductory

This is a Sources Sought.  This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations.  The purpose of this Sources Sought is to obtain knowledge and information on potential vendor interest for project planning purposes.

II. Project Description

Background:

FOH provides defined health services as well as consultation to Federal customer agencies exclusively through Interagency Agreements (IAAs). FOH is the Federal Government’s largest provider of occupational health services (OHS), supporting multiple federal agencies and serving over 1 million federal employees. FOH enters into agreements that are negotiated with federal departments and federal agencies’ national headquarters, and/or with their regional/local components for standard services, including clinical services delivery, expert medical consultation tailored to a particular federal agency’s OHS needs, wellness and health promotion, and behavioral health services. FOH maintains sole responsibility for consulting with its federal agency customers. The Contractor’s primary role is to facilitate delivery of FOH services specified in the draft Statement of Work (SOW) at FOH Service Provision Sites (SPS) by providing Personal Service Contractors (PerSCs) who will perform these services.

FOH defines OHS as the seamless coordination of comprehensive services using a data-driven approach to assist agencies in achieving a culture of health and high performance.

FOH comprehensive services include:

• Clinical Health Services (CHS) - Occupational medicine services, including medical examination, consulting, and case review services that focus on assessing the medical ability of employees to perform their essential job duties safely, reduce lost workdays, and increase employee productivity.
• Environmental Health and Safety Services (EHSS) – Services to ensure a safe working environment through site assessments, environmental health oversight of all FOH occupied spaces, emergency preparedness and emergency response.
• Wellness and Health Promotion Services (WHPS) - Services to assist employees in achieving and maintaining good health through fitness classes and wellness program.
• Behavioral Health Services (BHS) – Employee assistance program, Work/Life and other services designed to promote emotional well-being and a healthy life balance through stress management, financial and legal counseling, and professional referral.

These services are designed to improve health outcomes and employee productivity, while reducing occupational health risks, absenteeism and overall employee healthcare costs. FOH’s vision is to be the occupational health provider of choice for the federal government.  FOH CHS staff play a critical role in ensuring FOH maintains its status as the premier provider of integrated OHS to federal agencies and their employees. By offering flexible, cost competitive solutions, FOH CHS sets the standard for a culture of health and safety across the federal workforce. The Contractor is required to provide PerSC support for all occupational health services that FOH provides, including health promotion activities, data collection, and Agency/FOH initiatives requiring collaboration.

PerSCs are responsible for providing quality and safe health care, health education, and for raising FOH client awareness of health indicators, associated risks to optimal health, and viable solutions for maintaining optimal health.

CHS achieves these goals through services, including, but not limited to:

• Occupational Health Examinations – pre-placement, clearance, surveillance, federal motor carrier, and other types of occupational health exams.
• Immunizations
• Preventive and routine health screenings
• Health risk appraisals
• Occupational health case review programs
• Travel medicine assessments
•  Occupational exposure testing and surveillance programs
• Health education programs
• Workplace medical emergency response
• Specialized health services, as requested and approved
• Consulting

The quality of clinical services and strength of program effectiveness depend heavily on the expertise and experience of the PerSCs who provide direct patient care, occupational health services, and education.

PerSCs will be expected to provide quality services both in individualized and group settings, placing client/patient needs at the forefront of service delivery. All PerSCs will be required to possess and maintain appropriate credentials, licensure, and certifications to provide the specific services called to perform.

PerSCs participation in professional associations and specialized training are strongly encouraged to keep current with identified best practices and medical advancements. Contractor promotion of such participation and pursuits is expected.

SPSs include FOH Occupational Health Centers, FOH Area Offices, and remote sites throughout the contract area. Services provided under this contract shall primarily be performed at the SPSs in accordance with Site Staffing Plan.
