Zangwill, Contracting Officer, (301) 443-1301 The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations having the capability to produce a user-friendly version of the adolescent self-report assessment tool, the Problem Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers (POSIT). All revisions are to be based on secondary analyses of an available data set. Two administration forms of the POSIT-Revised are to be produced: a paper-and pencil, self-scoring form and a computer-administered form that can be scored, printed, and saved. An accompanying manual is to be developed for each administration form of the POSIT-Revised. The offeror should have experience and demonstrated competence in developing paper-and-pencil questionnaires and in writing PC-compatible software programs for self-administering a questionnaire, and for scoring, storing, and printing the results. This is a 100 percent Small Business Set-Aside. It is estimated that a one-yeay, cost-reimbursement contract will result from this requirement. The estimated issuance date for RFP No. N01DA-5-6051 is April 17, 1995, and responses are due to be received in the Contracting Office forty-two (42) calendar days thereafter. Requests for copies of solicitations will be honored if received within 20 calendar days after issuance of the solicitation. Requests received after this period will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until the supply is exhausted; however, there is no assurance that copies requested after the 30th day will reach the requestor before the due date for receipt of responses. This requirement represents a new effort. All reasonable sources may submit a proposal, which will be considered by the Agency. Only written or facsimile requests for this RFP will be accepted. Please forward all requests to the attention of Mrs. Patricia W. Mummaugh, Contract Specialist, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Parklawn Building, Room 10-49 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857 (telefax number is 301-443-7595). (0089)
