The social and economic turmoil in Serbia during the past decade have major adverse impact on the quality of living and working conditions, and workers there may have experienced unusual patterns of exposure to various industrial and environmental carcinogens.

The services to be provided require a physician with advanced training in occupational health and epidemiology to assess the state of evidence for various occupation and disease associations, and to provide insight into possible biological mechanisms. Experience with industrial conditions and epidemiologic studies in developing countries also is essential in the understanding and interpretation of results from these studies. Period of Performance: September 1, 2002 through August 31, 2002. FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Service (November 1999) pertains to this order. This requirement will be a fixed price order.
