Acquisition Branch (Washington), 6525 Belcrest Road, Room 1170,
Hyattsville, MD 20782 B -- DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY (DXA) BODY COMPOSITION AND
DENSITOMETRY QUALITY CONTROL CENTER FOR NHANES IV TOTAL BODY SCANS
ACQUIRED WITH HOLOGIC QDR 4500A FAN- BEAM INSTRUMENTS SOL
200-1999-07016 DUE 031299 POC Contact Point, Elisa Hillman,
301/436-7007, Contracting Officer, Ronald L. Atherholt This requirement
is for the acquisition of scan image analysis and review of total body
DXA scan data, including quality control data. Scans will be analyzed
for total and regional bone mineral and soft tissue composition. The
period of performance will be one year for the basic contract with a
possible additional 6-one-year option periods. The contractor will
provide: personnel with expertise in scan image analysis and in quality
control evaluation of total body fan-beam DXA scan data collected on a
Hologic QDR 4500A fan-beam densitometer from sample persons and
quality control data from standardized calibration phantoms; and
standardized criteria for evaluating these data. Personnel with
expertise in using DXA to measure bone mineral and soft tissue will
review scans to ensure that acquisition by NHANES IV field staff and
analysis by the contractor's scan analysts are appropriate. The
contractor will use the same standardized approach for evaluating these
data for all seven years of the contract. If changes in either the
technology for collecting and analyzing DXA total body scan data or in
the criteria for evaluating the data occur, the contractor will
perform studies to assess the comparability of the original and revised
methods using a Hologic QDR 4500A fan-beam bone densitometer installed
with 8.24a:3 version software at the contractor's institution. In
addition, if more than one person is used to perform image analysis or
expert review of the total body scan data, the contractor will provide
estimates of inter-reader reliability. (This requirement was previously
released under Solicitation Number 200-98-7002 which is hereby canceled
and reissued as solicitation Number 200-1999-7016.) The estimated
release date for this RFP is approximately 15 days after publication
and closing is approximately 30 days after RFP issue date. Requests for
copies must be submitted in writing and addressed to Ms. Elisa Hillman,
reference RFP Number 200-1999-7016. All responsible sources may submit
a proposal which shallbe considered by the agency. Posted 01/25/99
