The purpose of this Amendment 0001 is as follows: 1) To correct the due date and time for quotation submission to 12:00pm on July 15, 2022; 2) To provide the Government's response to vendor questions (Attachment); The purpose of this contract is to obtain Medical Doctor Subject Matter Expert (SME) Services to assist CRCL in performing its investigatory and oversight functions. The selected subject matter expert shall primarily assist CRCL in conducting investigations involving medical issues in immigration detention facilities used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which shall include preparing reports related to the investigations. CRCL cannot accurately predict the locations nor the number of facilities that may require onsite reviews because it depends on the complaints received. The expert may also be asked to assist CRCL with other CRCL matters related to medical care, including reviews initiated by DHS leadership, consulting with substantive work groups, providing training, and other activities as requested. Medical Doctor SME services are required to evaluate complaints received pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 345 and 42 U.S.C. § 2000-ee-1 and also to oversee compliance with constitutional, statutory, regulatory, policy, and other requirements related to civil rights and civil liberties. In addition to evaluating complaints, the contractor shall provide assistance related to activities that arise within CRCL’s authority, including, but not limited to research, analysis, and/or development of system- wide standards, policies, procedures, and training. Services include, but are not limited to, conducting reviews of DHS facilities, providing training related to their areas of expertise, and other activities and projects related to medical care concerns, as tasked by CRCL, such as participating in work groups, developing or presenting briefings, and preparation of documents. In particular, the experts shall also be required to prepare detailed reports regarding their observations and findings, as well as to provide recommendations based upon applicable correctional standards. CRCL cannot accurately predict the extent of the related activities required because it depends on the complaints received.
