- Description
- The Food and Drug Administration intends to award a Purchase Order on sole source basis to Mr. Gilbert Kaplan. Kaplan will provide technical assistance with summarizing data on pesticide, microbiological and mycotoxin contamination of feeds obtained from FACTS as part of the Feed Contaminants Program. The Center for Veterinary Medicine?s (CVM) Office of Surveillance and Compliance is responsible for planning and coordinating many field activities, and particularly for the Feed Contaminants Program (FCP). Mr. Kaplan is the only known source possessing the knowledge, insight and experience to perform these tasks because: 1) Mr. Kaplan was responsible for these tasks when he was an employee of the CVM and has continued this responsibility as a contractor since his retirement; 2) Mr. Kaplan has extensive knowledge and experience with the FCP, and has participated in CVM?s recent revision of that program; 3) Mr. Kaplan has knowledge and experience with the FACTS database and the software used by the field to record the results of inspections, feed sampling, and laboratory analyses; and 4) Mr. Kaplan has many years of experience in extracting the results from the FACTS database and evaluating the effectiveness of the compliance program, particularly with respect to pesticide, mycotoxin and microbiological contamination of animal feeds. Because of this experience and knowledge, Mr. Kaplan will need no training in ORA/CVM workplanning activities, in CVM?s feed compliance programs, or in how to extract compliance program results from the FACTS database to analyze the effectiveness of the Center?s FCP. Thus, he will be able to perform the identified work in the short amount of time allotted for these tasks in the contract.
