Announcement of Requirements and Registration for the Opioid 
Overdose Prevention Challenge

AGENCY: SAMHSA, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3719.

SUMMARY: In summarizing the challenge that will be issued by your 
agency, please answer the following four questions:

(1) What action is being taken?

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) has issued a challenge to help prevent opioid overdose and 
support recovery through innovative, software-based solutions that help 
people know the signs of opioid use, understand what to do if a family 
member or friend overdoses on heroin or opioid pain medications, and 
support treatment for opioid addiction and recovery.

(2) Why is this action necessary?

    There were 17,000 deaths from opioids in 2010, double the deaths in 
2001. Use of prescription opioids has quadrupled. Death by opioid 
overdose is preventable. SAMHSA hopes to help prevent deaths from 
opioid overdose, and support treatment and recovery for individuals 
with an opioid substance use disorder.

(3) What is the objective of the challenge?

    To prevent deaths from opioid overdose, and support treatment and 
recovery for individuals with an opioid substance use disorder by 
providing resources and information on understanding the signs of 
overdose, how to respond to an overdose, information about opioid use, 
treatment, and recovery.

(4) What is the intended effect of this action?

    A reduction in the number of individuals dying from opioid 
overdose.
    SAMHSA is seeking solutions to this problem through cost-effective, 
portable, technology-based products that effectively reach a diverse 
population of friends and family concerned about opioid use by someone 
they know. Technology-based products may include, but are not limited 
to, web applications, mobile apps, and Web sites.

DATES: The challenge starts on June 1, 2015 10:00 a.m. ET. The 
challenge ends on July 29, 2015 11:59 p.m. ET.

CHALLENGE URL (the ``Competition Web site'') and click ``Sign Up'' to 
create a ChallengePost account, or click ``Log In'' and log in with an 
existing ChallengePost account. There is no charge for creating a 
ChallengePost account.
    (ii) After a Contestant signs up on the Competition Web site a

    (iii) Contestant should indicate their agreement in participating

receive important Competition updates.
    (iv) In the event of a dispute pertaining to this Competition, the 
authorized account holder of the email address used to sign up for the 
ChallengePost account used to enter the Submission will be deemed to be 
the Contestant (in case of an individual) and the Contestant's 
Representative, in the case of a team or Organization. The ``authorized 
account holder'' is the natural person or legal entity assigned an 
email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider 
or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the 
domain associated with the submitted address. Contestants generally and 
potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized 
account holder.
    Amount of the Prize: 1st prize: $10,000 cash; 2nd prize: $7,500 
cash; 3rd prize: $5,000 cash.
    Payment of the Prize: Prize payment will be paid by contractor.
    Basis Upon Which Winner Will Be Selected:
    A. All eligible Submissions will be judged by an expert panel of 
impartial judges (the ``Judges'') selected by the Sponsor. The internal 
panel will judge these Submissions on the criteria identified in these 
Official Rules to select finalist Submissions. Finalist Submissions 
will then be judged by the expert judging panel determined by the 
Sponsor. The judging panel is not required to test the Application and 
may choose to judge based solely on the text description and video 
provided in the Submission. The Sponsor and the Administrator reserve 
the right to divide and assign the criteria identified below in these 
Official Rules among different members of the internal and expert 
judging panels. The Sponsor and the Administrator reserve the right to 
substitute or modify the judging panel at any time for any reason.
    B. All Judges shall be and remain fair and impartial. Any Judge may 
recuse him or herself from judging a Submission if the Judge, the 
Sponsor or the Administrator considers that it is inappropriate, for 
any reason, for the Judge to evaluate a specific Submission or group of 
Submissions.
    C. A Contestant's likelihood of winning will depend primarily on 
the number and quality of all of the Submissions, as determined by the 
Judges using the criteria in these Official Rules. The judging period 
is August 5, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time through August 14, 2015 at 
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (the ``Judging Period'').
    D. Criteria:
    Judging Criteria:
    (i) Quality of Performance (40 points) (includes how well the 
Application functions technically, and extent to which the Application 
responds to the Competition topic and target audience, and how 
thoroughly and clearly the solution utilizes the required assets);
    (ii) Quality of User Experience (25 points) (includes visual 
aesthetic and ease of use);
    (iii) Potential Impact (25 points) (includes the potential impact 
related to successfully informing target audiences about how to prevent 
opioid overdoses and provide a spectrum of additional support for the 
prevention, treatment and recovery of opioid misuse and abuse; and
    (iv) Feasibility of Use (10 points) (includes how easily target 
audiences and members of the public can access and use the 
Application).
    E. If deemed necessary by the judging panel, each of the top five 
finalists may be asked to participate in a virtual or in-person meeting 
with federal staff to discuss their Application and demonstrate its 
operation. The purpose of these meetings will be to further evaluate 
the Contestant's product, provide any additional information to SAMHSA, 
and clarify any concerns or questions raised by the review panel.
    F. Tie Breakers. In the event of a tie between two or more 
Submissions, the tied Submission with the highest score in the first 
criterion listed above shall be deemed the higher scoring Submission. 
In the event any ties remain, this process will be repeated by 
comparing the tied Submissions' scores on the second, third, fourth, 
and fifth criterion listed above, respectively. If two or more 
Submissions are tied on all four criteria, the panel of Judges will 
vote on the tied submissions.
    The COMPETES Act requires the basis on which a winner will be 
selected to be included in the Federal Register notice. 15 U.S.C. 
3719(f)(5). The judges are required by the Act to select the winner or 
winners on this basis. 15 U.S.C. 3719(k)(1). Thus, to meet the 
requirements of the COMPETES Act, the Federal Register notice shall 
describe the basis on which a winner will be selected. The description 
should include the expected number of winners, if multiple winners are 
anticipated.

    (v) The Sponsor and/or the Administrator, at their sole discretion, 
may permit a Contestant to modify part of the Submission after the

Sponsor and/or Administrator. Any modifications beyond what is
