H -- H999 LOGIC-BASED TEST QUESTIONS SOL HQ-96-15 POC John Dragonetti, Contracting Officer, (202) 514-2646. The INS intends to issue an RFP for logic-based test questions. The resultant contract will be for a minimum of 100 questions and a maximum of 200 questions. Both inductive and deductive questions are needed. All questions must be useable and not previously used in any manner. INS testing staff will use these questions to examine applicants for professional law enforcement occupations. Each question format contains a 50 to 100 word stimulus, a single question, and five answer choices. Successful offerors may have to perform specific research to select appropriate subject matter for question ideas. The INS will provide a formal logic-based taxonomy to the successful offeror. Questions will be written at the college graduate level. Qualified test question creators must demonstrate a minimum of 3 years of specialized experience in verbal reasoning ability measurement, successfully completed course(s) in formal logic or used logic extensively in development of test items for tests of reasoning, and demonstrate the ability to write logic-based, reading comprehension questions. Offerors will submit resumes, sample questions for evaluation purposes, and ethics/confidentiality references. All useable questions will become the sole property of the INS. (0095)
