Description

This proposed contract is a new procurement and is 100% set-aside for small business concerns, under NAICS code 514191, with a size standard of $18.0 million. The purpose of the proposed contract is to establish and operate an Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) to provide accurate, reliable, and up-to-date information on alcohol-related policies (laws and regulations) adopted by governments at the State and Federal levels in the United States. The primary audience for the information provided by the APIS is researchers studying the effects and effectiveness of alcohol-related policies. The contractor shall establish, maintain, and operate the system, including: identifying and acquiring accurate and detailed information on alcohol-related policies adopted at the Federal and State levels beginning January 1, 2001 (including the full text of the laws and regulations); describing alcohol-related policies at several levels of detail, including basic descriptive and procedural data, keywords, and summaries of specific policy provisions; storing the policy information, including all related descriptions and keywords as well as the full text, in an electronic system that permits search and retrieval of policy information by a variety of flexible criteria; and designing, maintaining, and operating a web site that (a) provides introductory information about alcohol-related policy and about the APIS, (b) provides user-friendly access to summary policy information, c) permits users to search the APIS for detailed policy information according to various criteria, (d) generates search results in suitable display formats (e.g., tables, graphs, maps, etc.), and (e) provides access to other policy-related information generated or maintained by the APIS. The main product will be a web site providing user-searchable access to information on alcohol-related policies in several formats and at several levels of detail, up to and including the full text of the laws and regulations themselves. Secondary products include an electronic newsletter reporting recent developments in alcohol policy, special reports on policy-related issues, and customized policy information and technical assistance to researchers. NIAAA anticipates awarding a performance-based contract for a period of two years with three one-year award terms. The RFP will be available on or about March 2, 2001 at the following website: http://www.fedbizopps.gov. See Numbered Note 26.
