- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), Bethesda, Maryland, intends to negotiate a on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1 (b), with Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand for the following data and services: 1) Monthly case data collected from December 2009 through September 2010 for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) transmission in Thailand. Location of cases from a historical and prospective nature will be provided in a format conducive for a GIS platform. 2) Monthly data on vector population densities in Thailand. A number of transects will be performed in Thailand to establish seasonal and positional trends in vector populations. These data sets will include all associated variables with vector populations to include vector ecology, biology and behavior. All data will be provided in an appropriate format for modeling. 3) Monthly meteorological data from Thailand. This data will include data from the meteorological services in Thailand from a country wide scale as well as site specific data from on ground observation locations that are established by the research based on his knowledge of the local transmission dynamics. 4) Research and Consulting Services on predicting Japanese Encephalitis in Asia. The research will include literature searches and personal communication with other scientists doing similar vector borne disease research. The awardee will interpret the results of data analysis and assist in preparing scientific articles. The awardee will advise the project on ways to model and predict mosquito-borne diseases. This service will be procured as a commercial item in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). The sole source determination is based on very specific data required for a very defined region of the world; there were no other sources for this data available. The data is real time vector and human data that requires on the ground gathering capabilities as well as aerial mapping capabilities for Thailand. Efforts to find alternate sources always led back to Kasetsart and their unique data sets needed for our modeling efforts. It is also the only facility in the region with close ties to the Ministry of Health that could provide the support and detail in data required by this modeling effort, therefore it is the one source reasonably available to meet the needs of the government. This is not a request for quote. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can obtain/provide all the data and services as outlined above. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to carolyn.lisovich@usuhs.mil. The deadline for the submittal of responses is 16 September 2010, 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
