SUBSTANCES FOR NATIONAL PROGRAMS CHEMICAL DIVISION, OPPT SOL
PR-HQ-98-14263 DUE 081098 POC Contracting Officer, John J. Nanartowicz
III, 202-564-4756 WEB: Assessment of Toxic Substances,
www.epa.gov/oam. E-MAIL: Contracting Officer,
Nanartowicz.John@epamail.epa.gov. THIS REQUIREMENT WILL BE PROCURED
UTILIZING FULL AND OPEN COMPETITIVE PROCEDURES!! The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics
(OPPT) of the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances in
Washington, D.C., under the auspices of the Toxic Substances Control
Act (TSCA), (Sections 4,5, or 6) has the responsibility to collect data
for chemical assessments and to support the regulatory and pollution
prevention activities of the Office. These studies relate to lead and
other organic and inorganic substances under the jurisdiction of TSCA.
Significant emphasis of the work performed under this solicitation
shall be on EPA's lead-based paint (LBP)program, which has one of its
goals to significantly reduce the incidence of blood lead levels above
10 milligrams per deciliter in the United States. Initially, the LBP
program provided technical and program development assistance to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the areas of
detection, measurement, and abatement/management of lead-based paint
hazards in housing. This support was formalized in a Memorandum of
Understanding between EPA and HUD signed in the Spring of 1989. The
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X)
gives EPA a stronger role in addressing the national problems of
lead-based paint in housing and the broader problem of childhood lead
poisoning. EPA's lead strategy recognizes lead-based paint in housing
as the most important contributor to elevated blood lead levels in
children. The purpose of this procurement is to provide statistical,
mathematical, field data collection, and technical analysis support and
planning for OPPT programs. This capability is needed to identify long
and short term program objectives, develop well formulated data
collection programs, provide the means to track progress made toward
meeting stated programs objectives and to conduct those statistical,
technical and scientific studies that will provide for technically
feasible, fiscally affordable and effective programs. The contractor
shall address planning and analysis issues related to EPA's goals and
objectives of this program as set forth in "U.S. EPA Strategy for
Reducing Lead Exposures". More specific program goals and objectives
will be identified in work assignments issued under this proposed
contract. The Contractor shall perform tasks, as specified by work
assignments, in the following areas: Statistical and Mathematical
Analysis; Lead Program Planning; and Technology and Exposure Related
Studies. Email the Contracting Officer at
"nanartowicz.john@epamail.epa.gov" for a copy of the solicitation
package. Due to the anticipated large volume of interest, we will be
unable to return phone calls for this procurement. You may be able to
retrieve a copy of the proposal package on or about July 6, 1998. The
