- FEDBIZOPS Synopsis The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Water (OW); Office of Science and Technology (OST) has a requirement for peer review consultation and support. All peer review procedures, products and responsibilities shall be per the U.S. EPA Peer Review Handbook. The purpose of peer review is to uncover any technical problems or unresolved issues for use in revising a preliminary product so that the final work product will reflect sound technical information and analyses. These processes enhance the quality of, and provide for, objective review and evaluation of scientific or technical work by knowledgeable experts who have no vested interest in related policy or implementation issues. The successful contractor will supply all necessary labor, material, services, equipment, and facilities in support of the effort delineated by the performance work statement. Scientific and technical work products identified for peer review may address one or more of the following: Selection/coordination of peer reviewers; Preparation of peer review reports, including uncovering any technical problems or unresolved issues and incorporating comments into a report so that the final work product will reflect sound technical information and analysis; Coordination of peer review meetings, workshops, conferences, scientific meetings, and public forums including facilitating, recording, and reporting on results as necessary, and logistical meeting support as needed. General categories of scientific and technical work products which are subject to peer review includes: Criteria methodologies/criteria and advisories; Engineering and technical studies; Reports to Congress; Technical guidance and methodologies; Economic evaluations; Statistical analyses; Environmental models; Technical publications, products and approaches; Analytical methods; and Policies and strategies.
