99 -- 1996 INTERNATIONAL CRIME (VICTIMIZATION) SURVEY DATA SET POC Raymond C. German, Contracting Officer, (202) 307-0613. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) intends to enter into a contract with Inter/View Nederland B.V., Overtoom 519-521, 1054 LH Amsterdam, Postbus 60068, 1005 G Amsterdam, Netherlands, for one data set containing the results of the 1996 INTERNATIONAL CRIME (VICTIMIZATION) SURVEY. The data set was produced as a result of an international survey of households in more than ten countries during the period of January -- March 1996 by Inter/View. Inter/View will deliver the data set on an IBM compatible ASCII SPSS diskette with a machine readable code book to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). BJS will use the survey to compare the experience of crime and crime victimization in the United States with those of other countries. OJP intends to procure the 1996 INTERNATIONAL CRIME (VICTIIMIZATION) SURVEY data set on a sole source basis from Inter/View, bcause the Inter/View survey data set contains the only statistics on crime and victimization rates that are comparable from one country to another. The Government anticipates award of a firm-fixed-price contract with delivery of the data set on or about January 7, 1997. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Responses shall contain sufficient documentation to demonstrate capability to fulfill this requirement. A solicitation is not available. See Note 26. (0347)
