- Description
- Respiratory Dosimetry Model Development and Simulation Studies to Support Risk Analysis of Libby Amphibole (LA) Solicitation THIS IS A SOLICITATION FOR RESPIRATORY DOSIMETRY MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND SIMULATION STUDIES TO SUPPORT RISK ANALYSIS OF LIBBY AMPHIBOLE (LA). The solicitation number is PR-HQ-10-10087 and the solicitation is being issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) anticipates that a contract will be awarded as a Time and Materials Fixed Rate type. This procurement is being issued as full and open competition. The associated North Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 541720 and the size Standard is 500 employees. Award will be made to a single contractor. This procurement requires the contractor to provide all necessary personnel, facilities and equipment to perform a modification of the Multi-Path Particle Dosimetry (MPPD) model, or development/ modification of a similar publicly-available model with software and menu-driven graphical user interface (GUI), to extend the predictive range for fibers from100 nm to 100 µm. This modification is intended to allow the MPPD or similar dosimetry model to provide predictions of both deposited and retained fiber burdens of all types of inhaled fibers (and particles), ranging from nanotubes to longer asbestos fibers. The resultant modified model will be used in asbestos risk assessment applications to describe fiber inhalability, deposition efficiency, and clearance rates in the respiratory tract of humans and rodents. The contractor shall be responsible for developing algorithms to describe fiber behavior in the respiratory tract and then implementing these in the MPPD model or other user-friendly, flexible, and public software that offers a graphical user interface to aid computations and simulations. Initial parameter values in the model shall be updated by the contractor using new EPA data being developed under separate contract. Simulation studies of additional relevant data sets shall provide model structure verification and support analyses for risk assessment. The work is anticipated to begin on or before March 1, 2010 and continue for 2 years. Contractor will be evaluated in accordance with the included Evaluation Criteria. All offers are due by January 13, 2010 @5:00 pm.
