- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. The Social Security Administration is performing market research to identify potential sources for providing assistance with a study testing the usability and reliability of a prototype person-side instrument with items addressing an individual's ability to perform specific physical and mental work-related activities. This study is part of a larger project to develop a new occupational information system tailored specifically for the agency's disability programs and adjudicative needs. Specific tasks to be conducted include assisting in the development of the study design, developing three electronic data collection instruments (DCIs) and databases, developing one non-electronic DCI for focus groups, developing the protocol for each of the DCIs, facilitating and leading focus groups in 10 cities across the country, developing training, assisting with the pre-test(s) of the study design, monitoring the databases, analyzing study results, and preparing a report on the study findings. The NAICS code is 541720 and the size standard is $7M. Responses shall include the complete name and address of the interested party, CAGE Code, DUNS, and the name, phone number and email address of at least one point of contact. Interested parties MUST indicate their type of business and size to include identification as a Small Business, Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business, HubZone Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, or 8(a), if applicable (see size standard above). If services are available through a GSA schedule, please indicate so. A qualification statement must be included with responses and is not expected to be a proposal, but rather short statements regarding the company's ability to demonstrate existing, or developed, expertise and experience in relation to this project and the areas specified herein. Submission of a qualification statement is not a prerequisite to any potential future offerings. This sources sought notice will be used by the government to determine how the solicitation will be issued. The final decision will be made based upon the results of this sources sought notice. This request for information does not constitute, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. This notice shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the Government. No entitlement to payment will arise as a result of the submission of contractor information. No other program information related to total dollars available, total quantity authorized or timeline for official solicitation is available at this time. SSA will post that information in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to FedBizOpps after finalization of the acquisition documents.
