NATIONAL CORE INDICATOR SURVEY COORDINATION RFP

OPWDD is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a responsive and responsible Bidder to conduct the National Core Indicators surveys (i.e., In-Person Survey and Family Survey) for randomly selected individuals throughout the State of New York. OPWDD wants to collect data from the NCI In-Person Survey (IPS) and Family Survey suite (Adult Family Survey, Family Guardian Survey, and Child Family Survey) to meet the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services Access Rule reporting requirements, as well as for other federal and internal reporting and data sharing.

For each survey, the sample will have targets identified by OPWDD. The selected Bidder will be responsible for recruiting, training, and deploying staff statewide to conduct In-Person Surveys and Family Surveys. The selected Bidder will be provided with an oversampling of data upon or before the contract award date.

This RFP will be posted on both the NYS OPWDD Procurement Opportunities webpage at https://opwdd.ny.gov/procurement-opportunities , and on the NYS Contract Reporter (NYSCR) website at https://www.nyscr.ny.gov/ , as required by Economic Development Law 4-C, titled “The Procurement Opportunities Newsletter.”
