SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Government is required to
provide, in solicitations, a complete
description of the supplies to be
acquired and the packing requirements
to determine transportation (freight rate)
charges for the evaluation of offers.
Generally, the freight rate for supplies is
based on the ratings applicable to the
freight classification description
published in the National Motor Freight
Classification (for carriers) and the
Uniform Freight Classification (for rail)
filed with Federal and State regulatory
bodies.
When the Government purchases
supplies that are new to the supply
system, nonstandard, or modifications
of previously shipped supplies, and
different freight classifications may
apply, per FAR clause 52.247–53,
offerors are requested to indicate the full
Uniform Freight Classification or
National Motor Freight Classification
description applicable to the supplies.
The Government will use these
descriptions as well as other
information available to determine the
classification description most
appropriate and advantageous to the
government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Patients in the United States often
have difficulty understanding the
medical billing process. Currently, there
is no standard for consumer medical
billing documents, and bills vary in
content, presentation, and use of jargon.
Consumers also receive bills from
multiple sources and may not
understand the rationale for each bill, or
know that they will be receiving
multiple bills for one episode of care.
HHS recognizes that many health care
organizations have been doing
important work to address the complex
problems that individuals face as they
navigate the medical billing process. A
national design and innovation
challenge is a unique way to both
support these ongoing efforts and
catalyze innovation.
II. Provisions of the Notice
The Challenge has two objectives:
