- NAICS Code: 541810 Title: "Global Forestry and Agriculture Climate Economic Model Development and Analysis" Posting Date: June 6, 2007 Procurement Office: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Administrative Contract Service Center (3803R), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20460 Response Date: June 21, 2007 THIS IS A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT, NOT A RFQ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Change Division (CCD), Climate Economics Branch (CEB) intends to award a sole source fixed-price purchase order under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures to the Ohio State University Research Foundation in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of this acquisition is to support CEB analysis of global forest and agricultural GHG emissions, mitigation and impacts. The contractor will develop a combined forest and agriculture sectoral model for detailed analysis of global net GHG emissions and mitigation across the forest and agriculture sectors. The contractor will also develop the forest sector of a global dynamic general equilibrium model and implement, evaluate and revise the Global Trade Analysis Project land-use forestry database. Dr. Brent Sohngen and associates at Ohio State University have the unique expertise and skills to complete the tasks of this Purchase Order. Dr. Sohngen maintains the Global Timber Model (GTM), an internationally regarded, state of the art global forest economic climate model. The GTM model is regarded as the premier economic model for global forest carbon sequestration analysis. Over the past year, Dr. Sohngen and his students have been very active in successfully addressing a number of difficult methodological modeling challenges in developing an initial dynamic global forest and agricultural model and collaborating with EPA and Purdue University in developing global general equilibrium models with explicit modeling of land-use behavior and responses to carbon prices. These novel modeling frameworks and the new forest data that they have used have been presented and vetted in a variety of professional meetings and documented in a number of draft book chapters and journal publications. Dr. Sohngen also developed forest bioenergy modeling resources (data and biomass production structures) that can be introduced into the global forest and agricultural modeling framework. This is not a request for quotation. No contract will awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. All inquires and concerns must be addressed in writing to U.S. EPA, Stacey Wolejko (3803R) 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20460, or to facsimile number (202) 565-2560, or sent by email to wolejko.stacey@epa.gov. Response to this notice must be submitted within fifteen (15) days after this electronic posting. Consideration of responses is solely within the discretion of the Government, generally for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Please include your number, point of contact, address, and telephone number. Telephone requests or inquiries will not be accepted.
