D -- DASH SYNTHESIS AND DISSEMINATION PROJECT (DASH-SD) SOL 98B139(N) DUE 071098 POC Mark S. Federer, Contracting Officer, (404) 842-6789 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contemplates award of a five year contract (including options) to synthesize and disseminate current scientific findings from youth risk behavior intervention programs and program evaluations. Synthesis involves both cataloging and analyzing scientific literature and convening expert panels to reach consensus. Dissemination is the process of delivering the findings of these synthesis activities to those who might use them to improve their practices (at the national, state, and local levels) to reduce the burden of adolescent health risk behaviors. The contract will be divided into three complementary tasks paralleling the aspects of synthesis and dissemination described above. Task A will involve updating, maintaining, and expanding a series of adolescent risk behavior-specific research databases within the Youth Risk Behavior Research Registry. Task B will involve planning, implementing, and documenting expert panel meetings. Task C will involve development of reports resulting from Task A and Task B activities, and disseminating results. Written requests for copies of the solicitation will be honored if received within 15 days of the RFP issue date, which will be on or about May 30, 1997. Requests received after that date will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis until the supply is exhausted. The date specified for receipt of offers will be approximately 40 days after the RFP issue date. Requests for copies of the RFP must cite the RFP Number: 98B139(N). Telephone requests will not be accepted. This acquisition will be 100 percent set-aside for small business concerns. The applicable SIC Code is 8733. For purposes of this acquisition, a business concern is considered "small" if their average annual receipts (including affiliates) during the three preceding fiscal years do not exceed $5 Million. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. (0124)
