R499--HealthViews Health of Vietnam Era Women Study

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office is seeking a qualified contractor to conduct the Health VIEWS Follow‑Up Survey for the Vietnam Women’s Health Study at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. The effort requires administering a four‑part mailing sequence to all eligible sample members—including an initial survey packet with a reverse pre‑incentive cash payment, a single reminder postcard, a second survey packet for non‑respondents, and a final thank‑you/incentive letter—followed by secure data collection, cleaning, and delivery of a final dataset, codebook, methods report, disposition and link files, and a data‑destruction certification. The contractor must demonstrate experience with large‑scale (4,000 + completed responses) survey research, specifically with Veteran populations, women Veterans, and Vietnam‑era Veterans, and must possess tracing and identity‑resolution capabilities using non‑public databases (e.g., Experian, Lexis‑Nexis). Key deliverables include designation of a Project Manager, an initial virtual meeting and agenda within 30 days of award, a detailed Project Plan, bi‑weekly response‑rate reports, batch‑tracing summaries, undeliverable‑mail logs, CATI disposition metrics, and final data package transfer confirmation. The contract will be subject to FAR subcontracting limits (≥50 % of personnel costs performed by the prime for small businesses/SDVOSBs), includes an option year contingent on performance and funding, and requires submission of socioeconomic status, SAM Unique Entity ID, and a capabilities statement as part of the response.
