The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism intends to negotiate a nine-month contract with Parker Research Services, 3 Peppergrass, Irvine, California 92604 for a project entitled "Secondary Analysis of Alcohol Sections of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience in Youth (NLSY)." The proposed contract is an examination of subgroups at risk for excessive alcohol use, alcohol abuse and dependence in which the contractor will conduct secondary analyses and submit associated complete manuscripts using the NLSY data sets for the years 1979-94 on alcohol-related research issues for which little information currently exists. Authority: 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. Parker Research Services is the only responsible source familiar and knowledgeable with the numerous complexities of the large NLSY epidemiologic data set, the collection of which has spanned twenty years. Parker Research Services is uniquely qualified to reliably and validly conduct these analyses because of their involvement and expertise in assisting with the construction of alcohol-related data elements appearing on successive waves of the NLSY. Inquiries must be made in writing, telephone inquiries are unacceptable. See Numbered Notes 22 and 26 in the Commerce Business Daily. The proposal will be due on or about January 23, 1998. (0342)
