- Description
- NAICS Code: 611310 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL), located in Cincinnati, Ohio plans to use simplified acquisition procedures to acquire, on a competitive basis, firmed fixed price, the following mathematical service: The contractor shall generally apply mathematical theorems to analyze mathematical models of complex, dynamic systems. These systems have some or all of the following characteristics: non-periodic behavior, random or chaotic patterns, variable numbers of parameters or variables, overlapping periodicities in the parameters and variables, and changing covariance among the parameters and variables. The systems will be ecological-socio-economic systems composed of ecological, economic, and social elements. The parameters pertaining to this system and known applicable principles will be supplied by the project officer upon request from the contractor. The contractor shall specifically address several closely related issues that include but are not limited to: (1.) The application of index theory, and more specifically Conley index theory, to issues related to resilience. (2.) The genericity of the dynamics of system models and its application to sustainability and resilience. (3.) The analysis of systems with slowly varying variables. (4.) The investigation and development of numerical methods for identifying and mapping topological features of dynamic systems. (5.) The development of methods to measure resilience of real systems from data. Any firm believing itself capable of meeting EPA requirements may submit a statement of interest to establish the potential of complying with the Statement of Work. Such documentation must be submitted by 12:00 PM EST (NOON) MONDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2003. This procurement will be processed using full and open competition under FAR Part 13. It is anticipated that requests for quotations shall be issued around 12/02/03, with quotes due around 12/12/03. An award will be made by 12/16/03. All interested parties should submit their request to Mr. David Boris, using the following methods: 1.) by fax to 513-487-2109, or 2.) by email (boris.david@epa.gov) referencing "Mathematical Approaches." No telephone requests will be honored.
