R -- COMPILATION OF SOURCEBOOK OF ARTS STATISTICS SOL RFP 95-01. DUE 080395. POC William I. Hummel, Contract Specialist, 202/682-5482. The requirement is for the compilation and production of the 1996 edition of the Sourcebook of Arts Statistics. Less than one man year of effort is anticipated. The Sourcebook will be similar to the earlier editions (1988, 1990, and 1992) in that it will be a compendium of the available statistical information on the arts. The 1996 Sourcebook will consist of two volumes: the first will provide an overview of the data contained in volume II, will analyze and highlight information of particular importance, and provide a guide on how to use volume II. The second volume will contain detailed tables, charts, and technical notes on methodology. The 1996 Sourcebook will also have subject and source indices and a glossary of terms. Finally, it will provide less historical information on individual data services than earlier editions but more information on a wider variety of art forms. Release date for RFP 95-01 is approximately June 30, 1995. Requests for the Solicitation should reference RFP 95-01 and include two (2) self-addressed labels. Verbal requests for the Solicitation will not be honored. See Note 1. (166)
