Veterans Outcome Assessment Program Services

The Maine-based government authority is seeking a vendor to provide veterans outcome assessment program services. The agency needs to collect interview data from veterans across the country who have received mental health or suicide prevention services. This initiative aims to track participants receiving initial interviews to ensure timely follow-up interviews and to secure digital data from these interactions. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to conduct interviews with veterans in a sensitive, quiet, and confidential environment using qualified and trained staff. The vendor must employ agreed-upon protocols for any urgent or emergent crisis that may develop with a veteran respondent during the process. Additionally, the agency requires informal weekly status updates via telephone or email, detailed quarterly reports of completed interviews, and monthly transmissions of all interview data in a digital file using an agreed-upon secure data transmission protocol. This opportunity is set aside entirely for small businesses, and only United States organizations are eligible to participate. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite. The buyer is currently looking for proposals and has not provided a specific budget or key dates in the initial announcement.
