- Draft Statement of Work for Farm Data requirement Food Safety Modernization Act: Produce Safety Regulation Implementation Request for Information Released December 15, 2016 BACKGROUND FDA is implementing the Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human Consumption Regulation (referred to as the Produce Safety Rule) to minimize the risk of serious adverse health consequences or death from consumption of contaminated produce. The regulation establishes science-based minimum standards for the safe growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce, meaning fruits and vegetables grown for human consumption. In support of the implementation, FDA has requested data regarding farms and services to aid in the establishment of an inventory of farms subject to the regulation. A farm inventory is essential for developing and implementing FDA and State operational plans. It will aid in prioritizing and targeting various implementation activities, such as education, outreach, technical assistance, inspection, and training. The anticipated period of performance is a base period of one (1) year and four (4) one year option periods. DISCLAIMER AND IMPORTANT NOTES This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation. Response to the RFI will not be returned. Responders are solely responsible for all expense associated with responding to this RFI. The FDA does not intend to make a selection decision or award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted or FDA's use of such information. Acknowledgment of receipt of responses will not be made, nor will respondents be notified of the outcome of the FDA's review of the information received. Additionally, the FDA does not intend to hold discussions concerning this RFI with any interested parties. However, the FDA reserves the right to contact vendors if additional information is required. NOTE: All proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information included in your response must be identified and appropriately marked. It is suggested that any response to this notice, that includes data that the respondent does not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall mark each sheet of restricted data with the following legend: "This response includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed in whole or in part for any purpose other than for evaluation purposes." In the absence of such identification, the Government will assume to have unlimited rights to all data submitted. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Responses to this RFI shall not exceed 12 pages. They should be submitted via email to Justin Cole at justin.cole@fda.hhs.gov by 12:00 noon on January 13, 2017. A complete response to the RFI should include answers to all of the questions below. Please note that a respondent's failure to provide a complete response to a question will be interpreted to mean that it does not understand the question and does not demonstrate the capability to provide services required. Responses should demonstrate capability, not merely affirm the respondent's capability (e.g.: The response must go beyond the statement that, "XYZ company can provide O&M support."). Respondents are requested to review the attached draft statement of work and submit responses to the following questions: 1. Do you currently have the data (as per SOW) or will you have to go out and obtain the data? 2. Do you have the capability to integrate the data records with other data systems such as Dun and Bradstreet or US Farm? 3. How do you verify the accuracy of the data? 4. What is the quality control plan used for gathering and maintaining the data? 5. How often is the data refreshed or updated? 6. What are the restrictions on sharing and releasing of the data outside of FDA? 7. How many individual farm records are currently contained your data set? 8. How is a farm record is uniquely defined? 9. What data elements do you currently capture on each farm? 10. What format is the data currently kept? 11. Do you have foreign Farm data?
