B -- ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA STUDY SOL CPSC-SS-97-0001 DUE 122096 POC Joyce Lawn, (301) 504-0444 ext. 1148, Robert. J. Frost, (301) 504-0444 ext. 1142 WEB: CPSC HOMEPAGE, http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/contract.html. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is seeking to identify firms who have or have access to expertise in anthropometry, statistics, data collection, computer programming, and project management. CPSC anticipates conducting a pilot Anthropometric Survey. The purpose of this survey is to determine if CPSC data taken during the period 1975-77 should be updated. In that period, two extensive statistically valid surveys were conducted on approximately 8,000 children ranging in age from birth to 18 years. One survey took 40 measurements on the full age span. Since twenty years have elapsed, CPSC is interesting in determining whether this data is still accurate or whether a new comprehensive study is required. A pilot study is proposed that will require ten basic measurements on a statistically valid sample of 300-500 children using classical measurement techniques. The study is required to be completed by October 1, 1997. This is not a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). However, firms that respond should furnish detailed information concerning their capabilities. Interested firms shall respond with capability information within 15 calendar days of this synopsis.
