Description

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation. All information received in response to this RFI will be treated as business confidential information. Nonetheless, submitters should properly mark their responses if the information is confidential. Responses to the RFI will not be returned. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expense associated with responding to this RFI.� Please see the attach document�for further instructions. The government requires a contract for Food Frequency Questionnaire and Calcium/Vitamin D screeners�analysis services, as defined in the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) (see attached document).� In order to capture a thorough history of nutrient intake of the warfighter in various environments, a validated questionnaire is required. For a number of years, the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM), has used a Food Frequency Questionnaire�for USARIEM scientists to complete their�protocols. This tool meets the needs of the scientists by providing intake data in terms of daily intake of macro and micro-nutrients, food groups, MyPyramid food groups, Glycemic Index and load, and Percent of calories from nutrients over a 6 month timeframe. Additionally, it provides the volunteer intake reports and Healthy Eating Index Variables, which are all valuable sources of information that the scientists use for reporting in publications.� In addition to the quality of the service and the data that is acquired from the analysis, USARIEM requires continuity in data collected; there has been a longstanding use of�a validated�Block FFQ by USARIEM scientists, and continuing use of the same nutrient intake tool in future protocols strengthens the scientific integrity of the data and the ability to compare findings across studies.
