- Description
- 1. What level of cost information are you looking for in the response? Can this simply be a level of order magnitude cost or are you looking for some break out of labor, supplies, travel, and indirect expenses? Please submit your capabilities. You do not have to submit an estimated price at this time if you don't want to. 2. In Item 2 of the synopsis work statement, is the last part of the sentence supposed to read "...daunting ensemble of requirements"? Should read as "donning required ensembles." 3. What format will the anthropometric data described in Item 3 of the work statement task list be provided in? 2-D hand scans are in.bmp format and 3D scans are in.stl format. 4. Of the NIOSH data described in item 3 of the task list, can you provide me information on the number of male and female, career and volunteer firefighters that are included in these data and any other information that characterizes the population that was measured? A total of 951 firefighters (863 men and 88 women) participated in the study. They were from four US regions: Rockville, MD; Philadelphia, PA; Phoenix, AZ; and Fort Worth, TX. The sample took into account the geographic density of racial/ethnic distributions calculated from the U.S. Census 2000. There are two missing data within each gender group for some body measurements, resulting in a dataset of 861 men and 86 women; their weighted average height was 176.9 cm (SD = 6.7 cm) and mass was 92.9 kg (SD = 14.8 kg) for men, and 166.7 cm (SD = 6.0 cm) and 72.4 kg (SD = 12.9 kg) for women. The 2-D hand scans would provide sufficient information for sizing determination. The 3D-scans (35 men and 23 women) are supplemental for creating hand models. Potential offerors are encouraged to visit NIOSH webpage for other information that characterizes the population that was measured: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/anthropometry/pdfs/Sizing%20firefighters%20proposal%20core%20part.pdf 5. Does any of the provided anthropometric data include information or measurements that define the "crotch" locations between individual fingers and the thumb? Both the 2D and 3D scans show the crotch locations; contractor is to identify and extract information from the scans. 6. What relationship does this contract activity have with NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural and Proximity Fire Fighting Protective Clothing and Equipment, which currently sets requirements for firefighter glove sizing? NIOSH is aware of the need of the information for updating the current NFPA standards and will provide the study results along with NIOSH internal research outcomes to support the effort. Statment of Work corrections: "daunting ensemble of requirements: should be "donning required ensembles." and 3. Should read: Develop an improved structural gloves sizing system, based on results from item#2, NIOSH data of 951 2-D hand scans, NIOSH data of "58" 3D hand scans, and other literature information.
