The U.S. Information Agency's International Broadcasting Bureau
(USIA/IBB), Contracts and Procurement Division (B/PA/AC), has a
requirement, subject to the availability of funds, for a contractor to
obtain: (1) quantitative data on the size, composition, and media
habits of the audience for Voice of America (VOA) broadcasts in
Tanzania; and (2) qualitative evaluations of VOA broadcasts by
listeners in Tanzania. The USIA/IBB anticipates awarding a
firm-fixed-price contract (purchase order), utilizing Simplified
Acquisition Procedures, as specified in the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR), Part 13, to the responsible quoter (offeror) whose
price quotation conforming to a forthcoming RFQ is most advantageous to
the USIA/IBB, based on the quoter's: (a) Technical
Capabilities/Experience in conducting audience surveys and focus groups
as outlined in the forthcoming RFQ for this procurement; and (b) Price
quotation. Of these two selection criteria, the Technical
Capabilities/Experience criterion is significantly dominant over the
Price criterion. Request for Quotation (RFQ) No. B/PA-99-27 is
scheduled for release by B/PA/AC on July 13, 1999. Responses to the
forthcoming RFQ (i.e., Technical Capabilities/Experience information,
and Price quotation) are due to B/PA/AC by the close of business (5
p.m. EST), Friday, August 6, 1999. Firms interested in receiving a copy
of the RFQ must request such receipt in writing to the Contracting
Officer, Mr. Wayne Greene, via facsimile at (202) 260-0855 or E-mail at
wgreene@IBB.gov. All written requests for copies of the RFQ must be
received by B/PA/AC by July 13, 1999; and such requests shall include
the RFQ number, the requestor's company name, the name of the company's
point-of-contact (POC), the company's mailing address, and the POC's
telephone and facsimile numbers. No telephone requests for this RFQ
will be accepted by B/PA/AC. The Contracting Officer has found and
determined that this proposed work is appropriate for an "unrestricted"
procurement, pursuant to FAR Subpart 19.502 (Setting Aside
Acquisitions). All responsible sources may request a copy of the
forthcoming RFQ upon its release by USIA/IBB. This Notice is not an
IFB, RFP, or RFQ. Posted 06/28/99 (W-SN347712). (0179) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0017 19990630\B-0005.SOL)
