Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Marketing Systems Group for the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) sampling. The proposed contract action will be awarded under FAR Part 12 for a Base Year and two Option Years for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 41 United States Code (U.S.C.) 253(c)(1) as set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 and HHSAR 306.302-1. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. For most states, the BRFSS is the only source for this type of information. This sole source contract is to ensure the continuity of sampling during the critical phase of incorporation of new sample frames. Cell phone samples, first introduced as pilot studies in 2008, will become an integral part of the BRFSS sample more accurately representing the proportion of the population which relies exclusively on cell phones for personal communication. Currently all vendors with prior experience with BRFSS utilize databases from Marketing Systems Group (MSG) to create samples for telephone survey research. MSG is the developer of the GENESYS database, which is updated quarterly and is thoroughly described below. For most states, the BRFSS is the only source for this type of information.
