- Description
- The US Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District is issuing a solicitation W912EF-11-R-0039 for commercial Advisory and Assistance Service prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.6 for Applied Biostatistical Services for the Northwestern Region's Anadromous Fish Evaluation Program. The proposed acquisition is a total small business set-aside. Offers from other than small business concerns will not be considered. The NAICS code applicable to this acquisition is 541690 with a Small Business Size Standard of $7 million dollars in average annual receipts as determined by 13 CFR 121.104. The Northwestern Region's Anadromous Fish Evaluation Program (AFEP) conducts scientific investigations to aid in the recovery of listed endangered salmon and other species. This is accomplished through improving fish passage conditions in the Columbia and Snake Rivers to maximize the survival of juveniles and the return of spawning adults. The AFEP requires the services of a qualified bio-statistician to provide applied bio-statistical expertise for various research projects under the AFEP, the Corps' comprehensive research program encompassing all the Walla Walla and Portland District's anadromous fish research efforts. Professional services of biometrician(s)/statistician(s) with demonstrated experience in reviewing anadromous fish research and hydropower operations are necessary to provide an objective and independent review of statistical objectives and parameters of similar research projects. The objectives of the review requirements are to provide statistical review (hereafter referred to as review) of preliminary and final research proposals and draft reports submitted under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Region's AFEP. The statistical review shall evaluate technical merit, applicability, and make recommendations to improve statistical design and analysis. In addition, the biometrician(s)/statistician(s) will be expected to attend some Corps in-house and AFEP meetings to discuss results, reviews, and to provide comments and suggestions on experimental design during the development and implementation of research studies and assist in the interpretation of results. The intent of this Request For Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals describing how the Offeror meets the needs of Corps by demonstration of education, experience, past performance references, scientific credibility, and written communication skills. Most of the anticipated work is to be focused on lab or field evaluations of adult and juvenile salmonids at the hydroelectric projects, although future work may occur anywhere in the Columbia Basin, including near-shore-ocean and tributaries of the Snake and Columbia Rivers. It is anticipated that biological studies similar in nature to those conducted in recent years will continue in the future, although subject matter, scope, and details could change. The solicitation will be available for downloading on or about September 2, 2011. Proposals are due September 20, 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.
