U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Program Contract Service Center (3803R), 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460-0001

R -- STATISTICAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF TOXIC 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.
