Description

The US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, Combat Feeding Directorate, intends to award a firm fixed price contract to Carol S Willey because the US Army Contracting Command APG requires a highly specialized nutritional analysis taking into account nutrient losses and/or uptakes affected by various food preparations and cooking processes. Very few people understand how to apply these factors to a recipe. Carol Willey has been working for the Armed Forces Recipe Service as a Food Technologist and Registered Dietician for the past two years and is familiar with the project's specific needs. Ms. Willey has over 16 years of experience as a full time Nutrient Database Specialist with the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and has a unique skill as a nutrient data base researcher, specializing in working with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient database standard release nutrition codes. The services required for this current procurement are to: 1. Update the current Armed Forces Recipe Service's (AFRS) by applying major revisions to multiple existing recipes and incorporating new recipes into the collection. 2. Perform detailed nutrient analysis of all new and updated recipes during, and at the completion of the testing/development phase and will update the recipe files with the final nutrition data. The purpose of the nutrient analysis is to ensure that the updated and new recipes result in the nutrition-related outcomes. 3. Utilize the new nutrition analysis/recipe development software to enter required data (ingredients and nutrient links, legacy and new AFRS recipes) to fully populate the database in order to make it ready for use by all services and DLA. 4. Aid in applying go for Green® color codes to all AFRS recipes. Overall, the goal of the proposed work will be to provide support to the AFRS team by populating the new software database with existing AFRS data and by generating nutrient analysis for new and updated recipes at various stages of development and at completion using approved nutrition analysis software. This is not a Request for Quotes. No solicitation package is available. Any responses to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
