TITLE: Wellness and Health Promotion (WHP) Web Portal Services
I. INTRODUCTION
This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding the availability and capability of all qualified sources to perform a potential requirement.
II. BACKGROUND
Federal Occupational Health (FOH), under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), designs and provides a suite of occupational health services for federal agencies and their employees. FOH manages over 180 Health Centers and FOH’s division of Wellness and Health Promotion Services (WHPS) manages over 25 Health Promotion (HP) Programs and Wellness/Fitness (WF) Centers nationwide. Like all FOH programs, WHPS programs can be customized to meet each organization’s unique needs. Agencies can choose to integrate WHPS with other occupational health services such as health screenings, online health assessments, cholesterol and glucose testing, and blood pressure monitoring.
FOH Health Promotion staff may provide outreach wellness and health promotion services locally and virtually (i.e., coaching, webinars etc.). FOH also provides WF center management services, which include management of the day-to-day operations, exercise programs, fitness assessments, group exercise classes, wellness programs, membership utilization reporting and more. In agencies without an on-site fitness center, FOH provides virtual health promotion services including Health Assessment (HA), healthy lifestyle coaching, incentive programs, virtual fitness classes, webinars and more. During the past year, nearly 80,000 of the 1.7 million Federal employees FOH serves have accessed online and/or telephonic health coaching, virtual fitness classes and incentive management services.
Purpose and Objectives
The objective of this Sources Sought is to survey industry capabilities to provide a web-based, Contractor-Owned/ Contractor-Operated (COCO) wellness and health promotion (WHP) product that includes comprehensive self-management tools, targeted interventions, and interactive contacts to foster program engagement. The product must include online Health Appraisals (HA), (also known as health risk appraisal or HRA), personalized healthy lifestyle information, fitness center attendance tracking, a range of pre-recorded virtual fitness classes including equipment and non-equipment workouts, and other tailored tracking and assessment tools to deliver a complete interactive health and wellness and health promotion system for eligible Federal employees of FOH’s customers.
The WHP web portal is directly tied to "One HHS" Program Objective 13: Emphasize Prevention and Healthy Living (http://www.hhs.gov/pma/depObj.html). It also supports FOH’s mission objectives to improve the health and safety of our federal workforce. This WHP web portal will enhance the programs FOH offers to its interagency partners by providing a health promotion tool that can be used by FOH’s health promotion experts to manage the provision, customization and reporting of high-quality health information to customers in the Federal government.
