Contracting Officer (202) 514-3420 17. INS requires the creation of 200
logic-based test questions over a five year period, consisting of one
base year and four option years. The INS requires deductive and
inductive questions. Qualified test question offerors must have a B.A.
or B.S. degree; demonstrate a minimum of three years of specialized
experience in verbal reasoning ability measurement, successfully
completed course(s) in formal logic or have used logic extensively in
development of test items for tests or reasoning, and demonstrate the
ability to write logic-based reading comprehension questions. All
questions must be useable and not previously used in any manner. INS
testing staff will use these questions to examine applicants for border
patrol, and professional law enforcement and adjudicator occupations at
the entry level. Each questions format contains a 50 to 100 word
stimulus, a single question followed by five answer choices. Successful
offerors may have to perform specific research to select job-related
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. The RFP will require offerors to
submit resumes, sample questions for evaluation purposes, ad
ethics/confidentiality references. All useable questions will become
the sole property of the INS. Each option year is expected to have a
minimum of 100 questions and option quantities up to 100 additional
questions. If multiple, qualified offerors are identified, the INS may
make multiple awards. Qualified offerors shall fax requests for the
RFP to 202-616-78876 by 11/13/97 to Kathryn Kallinikos, Attn:
HRA-8-0A01. See Numbered Notes (s): 1 (0311) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0115 19971112\U-0004.SOL)
