- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center intends to award a non-competitive procurement to Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc, 2003 Central Avenue, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001, for the statistical consulting services of Shay Howlin, Biometrician. This work is for follow-on services to be provided for development of a survival and risk analysis that will identify factors contributing to elevated biomarkers of oil exposure and increased mortality rates in western Prince William Sound sea otters and for development of new analysis tools to predict locations of lingering oil, based on biomarker measurements in a suite of nearshore species. Ms. Howlin has provided similar analysis of sea otter pup survival in 2002/2003. Many factors that we require to be analyzed in this situation are the same or similar to those incorporated in the pup survival analysis. Ms Howlin developed a statistical model then that can now be built upon to perform this analysis. She also accumulated unique expertise in the vagaries of sea otter health indices and radio-tracking data that need to be dealt with before accepting results of statistical tests as valid. Because of Ms. Howlin's expertise in these types of analyses, she was specifically identified in a court order as the biometrician to be contracted for the work in the study plan for this project, for the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council. This notice is for informational purposes only. This is not a request for competitive quotes. Interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to respond within ten days of this announcement. All responses must be in writing by facsimile to the Contracting Officer at (916) 278-9339 or email vfriesner@usgs.gov. A determination not to continue with this acquisition based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive acquisition.
