RECOVERY: THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. This notice represent award of a modification to the existing contractor Noridian Healthcare Solutios, LLC under the current contract
number HHSM-500-2012-M0012Z in the amount of $230,150 authorized under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR OFFERS.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, or Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was signed in
law on February 17, 2009. The law includes the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Heal
Act (HITECH Act), which established programs to provide incentive payments for the "meaningful use" of certified
electronic health record (EHR) technology. Included in these incentive payments (also known as HITECH
payments) are payments to Medicare hospitals.

The purpose of this modification is to fund the contractor to collect and subsequently enter necessary data into HITECH FISS screens for all Subsection (d) Hospitals by March 31, 2011.
This contract action was not awarded as a fixed price type because uncertainties involved in contract performance did not permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use any type of fixed price contract. As such, a cost-reimbursement type action was awarded (FAR 16.301-2).
