Detail
The Cherokee Nation is the federally recognized government of the Cherokee people and thereby has sovereign status granted by treaty and law.  Tribal sovereignty is the right to self-governance. The seat of tribal government is the W.W. Keeler Complex near Tahlequah, Oklahoma, capital of the Cherokee Nation. The jurisdictional area of the Cherokee Nation (hereinafter referred to as Nation) covers 14 counties in Northeastern Oklahoma. The Nation’s Health Services Group provides medical care to Tribal Members and operates numerous facilities and departments located throughout the jurisdictional area. Behavioral Health is a department within the Health Services Group. The Behavioral Health Department has received funding from the Strategic Prevention Framework Prescription Drug (SPF-RX) Program. This program is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of sharing medications and work with pharmaceutical and medical communities on the risks of overprescribing to young adults. SPF-Rx will also raise community awareness and bring prescription drug abuse prevention activities and education to schools, communities, parents, prescribers, and their patients. In addition, Cherokee Nation will track reductions in opioid overdoses and the incorporation of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) data into needs assessments and strategic plans as indicators of the program’s success. To comply with the program evaluation standards, the Nation is seeking proposals from interested parties to provide an Evaluation Team. The purpose of the team is to ensure on-target evaluation with appropriate milestones, measurable outcomes established, and monitoring parameters and outcomes are reported. This work will be in accordance with the Nation’s goals set by the Behavioral Health Department as well as federal requirements from the funding source. The Nation is seeking proposals from interested parties with qualifications, credentials, and previous experience providing services for organizations similar in size and scope. The service timeframe will extend from date of award to the end of the current fiscal year, September 30, 2017 with the option to renew based on satisfactory service and agreement of both parties for four additional fiscal years. Complete information regarding the scope of work and specifications are provided in this Request for Proposal (RFP). The Nation will be accepting proposals from Indian and Non-Indian parties. Indian preference will be given only to responding parties who provide proof of current certification from the Cherokee Nation Tribal Employments Office (TERO) located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, telephone number (918) 453-5000. Indian preference will be applied in accordance with Cherokee Nation Acquisition Management Policy and Procedures. Proof of TERO certification must accompany and be included in proposal submittal.
