- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability and capability of potential Small Businesses (including HUB Zone, 8a, Small Disadvantaged, Veteran- and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned and Woman-owned Small Businesses) that can provide inspections of tobacco retail establishments. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a Contractor to conduct tobacco retail inspections in the various states. The FDA is looking for small businesses that have the ability to conduct inspections in the following regions of the United States: Region 1 : Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia; Region 2 : Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, DC, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, US Virgin Islands, West Virginia; Region 3 : Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin; and Region 4 : Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. Region 5 : Puerto Rico (see attached Statement of Work (SOW) under Task 1.y for special requirements for Region 5). A small business MUST be able to conduct inspections in all the states located in that region. Under the provisions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco Control Act or TCA), which amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, FDA has been given the authority to regulate the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health and to reduce tobacco use by minors. The Tobacco Control Act also amended the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (CSTHEA) to grant FDA authority to regulate certain health warnings that must appear on smokeless tobacco products. The FDA requires a contractor to facilitate the enforcement provisions of the TCA by: (1) maintaining an active list of tobacco retail establishments; (2) conducting inspections of retailers that sell and promote regulated tobacco products; (3) collecting, documenting, and preserving evidence of inspections and investigations; and (4) supporting the FDA in judicial actions resulting from inspections and investigations. The contractor must be able to provide commissionable individuals to conduct these inspections. In order to be commissionable, the inspector must be a health, food, or drug officer/employee of the State, Territory, or political subdivision thereof. The contractor must be able to provide individuals who are capable of meeting this requirement. This must be clearly addressed in your capability statement. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (20-MAR-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
