**[SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT]{.underline}**

**[C.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[BACKGROUND]{.underline}**

[The Census Bureau\'s longstanding purpose has been to provide the
official statistics required for effective governing. The strategic
direction we have set is intended to improve the value of our
contributions to the American public in general and to our customers who
directly depend on our products and services.]{.underline}

[Our core business is comprised of the conduct of large-scale surveys
and censuses. This includes a full range of activities required to
produce data, including survey and instrument design and data
collection, processing, analysis and dissemination. To remain preeminent
in this field, we must conduct research and statistical analysis
constantly to support our capabilities to carry out the tasks for
surveys and censuses. We must stay abreast of the latest technological
advances through assessment and conduct research on the use of such
technology to take advantage of its capabilities. We must be aware of
our customers\' and respondents\' concerns and willingness to
participate. We must research methodological and statistical advances
that may reduce cost and resources and improve quality, especially in
light of the current environment of cost effective government
programs.]{.underline}

[The Contractor(s) shall support the Census Bureau in carrying out these
research and development tasks in one or more technical areas to support
our desire to constantly improve our products and service to
customers.]{.underline}

**[C.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[SCOPE OF WORK]{.underline}**

[Six major subject areas of advisory and assistance services are
required: 1) assessment, planning and analysis; 2) statistical analysis;
3) methodological research; 4) survey engineering; 5) sub-population
research; and 6) data analysis and dissemination. The Contractor(s)
shall furnish all management, qualified personnel, facilities,
materials, hardware, software, and other contractor support services
required to perform the Statement of Work/Specifications in Section C.3
for the one or more technical areas awarded to the
Contractor(s).]{.underline}

[The possible areas of work provided for each of the six major technical
areas are examples of the type of work that would be sought. Other
research areas are possible, but would be similar to one of the
applications provided. Such research will be fairly described in the
statements of work and specifications set forth in task
orders.]{.underline}

[The Government may issue a task for production purposes to deploy a
successful methodological prototype system as a follow-on task to a
research and development task order.]{.underline}

[The Contractor(s) will perform all work described herein as ordered on
task orders issued by the Contracting Officer. The Census Bureau shall
order services by means of task orders with specifically defined scopes
and schedules, as needed. It is impossible to determine the precise
types or amounts of services that will be ordered during the contract
term. The Census Bureau will not use this contract when it has or
intends to use Government in-house resources.]{.underline}

**[C.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[STATEMENT OF
WORK/SPECIFICATIONS]{.underline}**

[The Contractor(s) shall furnish the necessary personnel, material,
services, and facilities (except as otherwise specified) to perform the
Statement of Work/Specifications as described herein.]{.underline}

**[C.3.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ASSESSMENT, PLANNING, AND
ANALYSIS]{.underline}**

[This technical area focuses on the assessment, planning and analysis of
Census Bureau programs and the way the Census Bureau conducts business.
The Census Bureau, like many other Government agencies, must continually
assess the changing workforce, current management and operating
procedures, emerging markets and technologies, open systems and
standards, and the use of automated systems to its mission. Success of
future Census programs depends on effective planning and management, the
use of automated data processing (ADP) technology, an enhanced level of
services, and the reduction of life cycle costs. Taking advantage of
these opportunities requires not only appropriate technical skills, but
also strong management discipline to ensure that the Bureau\'s decisions
result in the expected payoffs. The Bureau needs to maintain flexibility
to take advantage of advances that will occur over time.]{.underline}

[Possible areas of work are:]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Marketing Assistance.
]{.underline}**[Assistance in conducting market research and trend
analyses; customer and product development; strategic marketing
management; modeling and market information systems; and testing and
evaluating marketing plans and strategies. Customers and their needs are
constantly changing. Who the customer is and what products and services
are needed change rapidly just as society as a whole changes. Once a
product or service need has been identified, we need to determine the
best and most acceptable means of production and distribution. The
Census Bureau needs to look at how we identify our customers, what
materials and products the customer needs, and the optimal way to
produce and distribute the products. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Technology
Assessment.]{.underline}**[ Assessment, evaluation and integration of
rapidly changing technology and emerging automated systems for data
collection, data processing and control, data security, data
dissemination, migration to open systems, systems design and testing,
uses of technology in training, and telecommunications. Assessments
provide a means for making reasonable projections about the technologies
that are likely to be available in the future along with information on
price, performance, standards, training, penetration to various market
segments and expertise or training required to use it. The Census Bureau
needs to identify these trends early and assess their utility for future
program implementation. Examples of technologies the Bureau may be
interested in assessing include hand-held computers and palm-tops for
field applications of interviewing, listing and mapping; the
implementation of multimedia technologies for electronic questionnaires;
generalized variance calculation systems; optimal data bases for
macro-data and micro-data; web-based/computer-based training and
automated calender/planning tools for field management; the use of the
Internet/worldwide web for collecting and disseminating data; and for
training applications and documentation in a broad array of information.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Knowledge, Attitude and
Behavioral Studies.]{.underline}**[ Surveys to determine public
attitudes and perceptions regarding various technologies; literature
reviews; the extent of technology penetration and public\'s use of
technology; cost to users and the economics of the technology (income
level of users); relevant legislation under consideration; and research
on the ways to migrate to applications software systems that are
inter-operable across diverse computing platforms or new platforms that
emerge.]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Project Management
Assistance.]{.underline}**[ Assistance with project management and
evaluation of computer-based project management tools for the conduct of
censuses and surveys to provide leading edge project management
solutions for achieving project objectives. A critical success factor in
keeping a competitive edge is to define and strengthen project
management capabilities across the organization, by evaluating the
\"as-is\" as well as the \"to be\" status. Failure to meet one or more
of the three fundamental project objectives - schedule, budget and
product quality - can have a significant impact on the success of the
organization as a whole. By researching and developing planning
processes at a detailed level, you achieve a critical connection between
corporate strategic goals and project goals. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Business Case
Planning.]{.underline}**[ Assistance with business case planning to
develop an integrated set of management tools, policies, and procedures
for planning, managing and conducting Census Bureau programs. This
support shall include: (1) assisting in the development of a plan of
action and set of criteria for determining the scope of benefit/cost
analyses; (2) assisting planners in the Bureau\'s functional areas in
the development of business case models related to their functions; (3)
supporting the performance of requirements analyses; (4) supporting the
performance of benefits/cost analyses that focus on specific solutions
suggested as a result of requirements analyses; (5) developing benefit
and cost criteria, and guidance for selection of appropriate resources;
(6) formulating strategies, plans, procedures, and policies for
preparing business case analyses; and (7) conducting and facilitating
technical meetings and/or joint application development (JAD) sessions
to identify weaknesses, strengths, requirements, etc., with an existing
application.]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Technical
Analysis.]{.underline}**[ Assistance in conducting technical tradeoff
analyses of alternative technology related solutions for the business
functions of the program areas. The analysis shall include documentation
of the existing functions and processes, high-level alternative
solutions that improve the efficiency and/or the effectiveness of the
Bureau\'s business, cost and benefit analysis compatible with the
business case model of the functional area, conceptual design
documentation of the selected alternative; requirements specification
for follow-on efforts to implement the selected alternative, and
justification documentation (benefit cost analyses, alternatives
analyses, strategic documents, etc.) as appropriate. Technical
alternatives to be considered may cover a broad spectrum, including the
following areas: (1) artificial intelligence and expert systems; (2)
high performance computing platforms; (3) high performance data
communications networks; (4) software tools and application packages;
and (5) end-user and local group assets. Potential avenues for
exploration include ADP hardware, software, data communications,
personnel, documentation, global position system(GPS)integration,
facilities, and training.]{.underline}

**[C.3.1.7]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Cost and Workload Modeling
Assistance.]{.underline}**[ Assistance in supporting predictive and
evaluative modeling of cost effective approaches for workloads and
assignments using demographic, economic and geographic data. Models
based on the integration of the three data groups are necessary to
improve planning and cost and workload estimates. The models support
evaluations that are based on functions such as quality, coverage and
extent of geographic source information and the impact they have on
future operations. For example, a model may indicate a measurable
relationship between the frequency of feature updates such as new
construction or changes to the landscape and their impact on acquisition
of additional or modified address information respectively.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
RESEARCH]{.underline}**

[This technical area focuses on research and development of statistical
theory and methodologies for the design and production of estimates for
censuses and surveys. Broad research areas include statistical
standards, survey design and estimation, evaluation and quality
assurance, small area estimation, confidentiality, sampling and
non-sampling errors, automation, data analysis, time series analysis and
statistical computing.]{.underline}

[Possible areas of work are:]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Sample Design and
Estimation.]{.underline}**[ Sample design and estimation research for
the launching/re-design/continuous improvement of a census or survey.
The Census Bureau needs flexible sample designs and estimation
methodologies that allows for the production of estimates at many
different levels, for many different sub-population groups, for many
different purposes and for changing sample sizes. Examples of potential
research are planning and designing surveys of electronic network usage
and of \"new economy\" business practices; the investigation of methods
to maximize the overlap between old and new primary sampling units in
multistage sample designs to reduce survey costs or alternatively to
minimize the overlap of sampling units in single‑stage sample designs;
and research on the impact of improved spatial databases using
geographic information systems technology on: field assignment criteria;
delineation of field assignment areas; new approaches to collection and
tabulation geography; census and survey issues for user-defined
geography; differencing issues in geo-spatial data; and issues of
geographic and statistical data confidentiality.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Missing Data
Techniques.]{.underline}**[ Research on methods to handle missing and
inconsistent data. These may be caused by non-response, respondent
errors, interviewer errors, or processing errors. One area where
research is needed is developing criteria for choosing between
re‑weighting and imputation approaches. Another area for research is the
development of new statistical methods for computerized imputing and
editing algorithms. Research on alternative methods for imputing missing
data for racial and ethnic groups and populations requiring special
enumeration methodologies is needed. For example, research is needed to
assess the impact of using estimation techniques that use data reported
by nearby neighbors to impute missing data on persons of
Hispanic-origin. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Total Error
Models.]{.underline}**[ Research to develop and evaluate new error
models. Total error models are used to reflect the sources of both
sampling and nonsampling error on statistics based on data from censuses
and surveys. Such models are also critical in comparing alternative
census or survey designs in the context of minimizing total mean square
error.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Coverage
Measurement.]{.underline}**[ Research and evaluation of methods
refining, improving or developing techniques for measuring completeness
and coverage in our censuses and surveys.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Disclosure
Avoidance.]{.underline}**[ Research to seek new methods and technologies
for maintaining confidentiality in microdata and tables. Research is
needed on methods to protect the confidentiality of enumerated persons
while at the same time minimizing data distortion or error.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Experiments and Simulation
Studies.]{.underline}**[ Research on statistical models to reflect the
various design options in a simulated census or survey experiment to
identify the resources and the timing each option would require.
Operations research and linear programming techniques may be applied to
study the feasibility of alternative operational configurations for the
redesign of censuses and surveys.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.7]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Administrative Records
Research.]{.underline}**[ Research on using data from administrative
records to determine the extent to which administrative records could
replace or supplement traditional data collection methods in censuses
and surveys. This requires research on the quality and completeness of
the records, completeness of coverage of the files(e.g. percentage of
the total population represented), on the feasibility and effectiveness
of different procedures for aggregating administrative records for
individuals into households, and on record matching. Research is needed
to determine what information is necessary to link records from various
sources. Alternative estimation strategies for combining data from
different sources, including different record sources as well as
enumeration, need to be explored.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.8]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Statistical
Computing.]{.underline}**[ Research the use of statistical methods in
generalized survey-processing to improve statistical process control,
reduce processing error, reduce software maintenance costs and reduce
start‑up costs for new surveys. Following initial development of such
methodology, continuing research and development is needed to prevent
software obsolescence. An example of such research and development is
incorporating calibration estimation into an existing generalized
survey‑processing system.]{.underline}

**[C.3.2.9]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Other Statistical
Fields.]{.underline}**[ There are a number of other statistical fields
for which expertise may be needed including: census and survey
evaluations, experimental design, regression analysis, nonparametric
measures, statistical modeling, survey methodology, variance estimation
for complex estimators, quality assurance, stochastic process,
statistical graphics, survival analysis and latent class analysis,
statistical standards, evaluations, small area estimation and time
series analysis.]{.underline}

**[C.3.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[METHODOLOGICAL
RESEARCH]{.underline}**

[This technical area focuses on survey methodology such as questionnaire
design, public cooperation and participation, and improvement of
enumeration methods and procedures for surveys of individuals,
households and establishments. Survey methodology draws on theories and
practices developed in several academic disciplines --- mathematics,
statistics, psychology, survey methodology, linguistics, sociology,
computer science, and economics. The work includes both observational
and experimental methods to test key hypotheses about the nature of
human behavior that affect the quality of survey data and modeling of
behavior that describe errors in responding to survey questions. Both
the social science and statistical concepts are used to study coverage
properties, alternative modes of data collection, field administration
operations, the role of the survey interviewer, the effect of question
structure, wording and context on respondent behavior, models of
measurement error and post-survey processing.]{.underline}

[Possible areas of work are:]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Questionnaire
Design.]{.underline}**[ Questionnaire research focused on the content,
wording and design to reduce measurement error, reduce item nonresponse,
reduce respondent burden, and increase participation. Research is also
needed to assess if the use of different data collection techniques have
any impact on the respondent's understanding and ability to answer
questions. Research techniques include pretesting through usability
testing, focus groups, cognitive interviews, behavior coding, expert
panel review, etc. Ethnographic research may provide background for
survey development or for evaluation of enumeration
techniques.]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Response Burden
Studies.]{.underline}**[ Respondent burden research to identify ways to
reduce individual and business reporting burden by coordinating data
requests Bureau-wide and relating information requests with individual
and business record keeping practices.]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Cooperation and
Participation.]{.underline}**[ Cooperation and participation research is
needed to investigate a variety of issues related to the timing,
targeting, content of messages, and the effectiveness of alternative
vehicles (oral, visual) for promoting participation in Census Bureau
programs. Various segments of the population differ in their attitudes
and knowledge about census programs, and vary in their concern about
privacy issues. Different media and/or messages may be needed to
encourage cooperation in different segments of the populations. Research
needs to be conducted on how to inform the American public and
traditionally low response groups, in a way that will motivate their
participation. Additionally, effective means of communicating complex
and potentially controversial messages, such as the use of sampling or
the use of administrative records, must be developed and tested. And the
most efficient ways of communicating the Bureau's policies to
respondents need be examined.]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Privacy Issues.]{.underline}**[
Privacy concerns may have significant (and possibly growing) impact on
public cooperation with Census Bureau censuses and surveys. Privacy
concerns may affect each program differently, depending on census or
survey content and other features of the design. For instance, the use
of administrative records can supplement Census Bureau data files, and
potentially may reduce the burden on respondents; however, the public\'s
attitude towards such use is uncertain. If public reaction is negative,
response rates may decline. Research topics include measuring the
public\'s attitudes toward administrative records use, computer
matching, data sharing; development of a notification on administrative
records use; expanding stakeholder outreach and education and media
tracking; and measuring changing trends in public attitudes on
privacy.]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Data Collection
Techniques.]{.underline}**[ Research on field data collection and
interviewing methods to identify and validate the most effective and
efficient field data collection practices. This research would include:
the examination of the effectiveness of current field training and the
potential use of advances in training technology and media; methods for
recruitment; testing and selection of field staff; interviewer training
techniques, establishing pay rates for field staff; organizational
design and management; and performance assessment. Topics covered under
this research might include the impact of automation on data collection
procedures, methods and training; effective methods for staffing and
collecting data in a multilingual/multiethnic/multiracial environment;
and methods for building field data collection partnerships with
organizations that represent and serve different ethnic, racial and
language groups. Tasks in this area may involve the following types of
work: focus groups, in-depth cognitive interviewing, questionnaire
pre-testing, field experiments with multiple forms of the questionnaire
or variant administrative records notifications, an on-going national
survey to provide trend measures of the public\'s attitudes on privacy,
evaluation of data collection methodologies, data analysis, and
cost/benefit models to determine evaluation of various design options,
sample design and selection, sampling error calculation, interviewer
variance, nonresponse bias, undercoverage bias.]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Technology Use.]{.underline}**[
Research of new electronic data collection and processing technologies
and whether proposed changes to a particular survey or census should be
undertaken. The various modes of data collection need to be evaluated
with respect to applicability, acceptability, quality and response
issues, as well as their potential for reducing respondent burden.
Alternative modes and methods of data collection vary in their
effectiveness for collecting data from different segments of the
population. Research is needed to evaluate and insure consistency across
alternate data collection methods. Technology to assist self-response
for disabled respondents may be examined. For business respondents,
research is needed to identify the best ways to increase electronic
reporting, for example by integrating census and survey questionnaires
with widely used accounting software and record keeping practices.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.3.7 Human Factors and Usability Research.]{.underline}**[ As
computer use permeates almost every aspect of our current and future
work, education and home environments, user-interface design and
evaluation research is needed to ensure compatibility between computer
systems and human information processing capabilities. Application areas
for the Census Bureau include designing and evaluating: information Web
sites, information CD-ROMS, Web and electronic questionnaires,
computer-assisted address listing, interviewing and coding, electronic
administrative forms such as job applications and travel vouchers, data
review and processing activities, and accessing knowledge databases.
Tasks within each application areas included developing user profiles,
conducting user task analyses, developing and applying usability
standards and guidelines, conducting heuristic reviews, conducting
usability tests of early prototypes and mature products, and collecting
additional usability data while a product is in production use. Long
term data dissemination research is needed in areas such as data
visualization by users and compensating for a user's lack of
understanding of statistical principles. Long term data collection
research involves deriving principles of optimum navigation,
presentation of messages about user errors, methods to assure high
response rates for electronic forms, inferring cognitive process from
eye movements, tools to assure that questionnaire designed optimally for
human language and processing capabilities, and design principles that
promote accurate and complete responding.]{.underline}

**[C.3.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[SURVEY ENGINEERING]{.underline}**

[This technical areas focuses on the application of scientific and
mathematical principles to practical survey problems such as the design
and operation of efficient and economical surveys, machines, processes,
and systems. In the span of a few years, advanced statistical methods
and easily affordable computers have yielded dramatic increases in
performance and decreases in cost. Although the general trend is easily
discernable, specific details of hardware or software characteristics
are difficult to predict. The aim of this area is to promote research
and development to (1) understand the systems and requirements; (2)
apply the theories and techniques to survey tasks effectively,
efficiently, and economically; (3) analyze existing and alternative
systems to evaluate the accuracy and precision attained; and (4)
investigate new technologies for survey implementation and data
processing. Tasking under this activity cover broad fields of surveying
techniques, statistical computing, product evaluation, usability and
human factor research, specifications development, record linkage, data
security, software assessment, remote sensing, cartography, and spatial
information technology.]{.underline}

[Possible areas of work include:]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ MAF/TIGER
Enhancements.]{.underline}**[ Research to improve address and mapping
technologies. Study existing Master Address File (MAF) and Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and Reference System (TIGER) legacy
software systems and proposed Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software
functions to model an appropriate hardware architecture and a functional
software methodology. TIGER is a digital spatial database that contains
features and geographic areas and their identifiers that are used as an
integrating factor for Census Bureau programs. Maintaining and improving
the content and its quality is an on-going goal and a technology
challenge. Processes are required to automatically identify, compare,
and evaluate spatial and attribute change between TIGER and potential
sources. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Data Collection and
Capture.]{.underline}**[ Research on data collection technologies and
data capture technologies. Possible research is the use of CARI
(Computer Assisted Recorded Interviews); the use of interactive voice
response (IVR); the use of AudioCASI which requires detailed knowledge
of operating systems be able to integrate the audio software with the
calling program; the use of hand-held devices for data collection; and
the use of Web-based surveys and censuses. Exploration may be needed
into the use of multi-modes of data collection and allowing respondents
to chose their preferred mode. Research on data capture includes the use
of imaging technology; and automated capture tools such as Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) and Optical Mark Recognition. Research would
include the integration of coding into the data capture process and how
to improve the reliability of OCR confidence scores.]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Data Tabulation and
Processing.]{.underline}**[ Analysis of the capabilities of high
performance computers for tabulating, coding, analyzing, and producing
data in a variety of formats and forms. Census Bureau data products are
tables for the most part, that are statistical summaries of the
underlying detail files. A high speed tabulation system, in conjunction
with an automated coding and an automated system for specifying and
reviewing tables, could decrease the time needed to produce the data
products which would result in more timely, useful data. Also there is
the need to evaluate systems for performing automated coding in a
variety of configurations (batch, computer‑assisted), for a variety of
taxonomies (geographic, economic, or industrial classifications), and
with measurable levels of accuracy and productivity. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.4 Systems Design and Integration.]{.underline}**[ Systems
design research to enhance and manage large complex databases
encompassing hardware, software, communication, training,
conversion/migration and deployment. This work includes requirement
studies, system analysis, and development of prototypes for integrating
all required components, facilities, equipment and systems and software.
Research and evaluation of commercial products and \"middleware\"
methodology to incorporate more of the commercial off‑the‑shelf (COTS)
technologies into integrated survey processing. Investigate
proof-of-concept systems by combining multiple COTS
products.]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.5. Software Enhancements.]{.underline}**[ Development and
testing of new and enhanced software and applications. Possible
applications are techniques for data storage and warehousing (including
an assessment of commercial products and development of proof-of-concept
systems); metadata repositories and tools; version control software used
to control software versions as they go through the development cycle
and production cycles; software development technologies and techniques
such as Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for judging the maturity of the
software processes of an organization and for identifying the key
practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes;
and eXtreme Programming(XP) which provides a deliberate and disciplined
approach to software development. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Electronic Printing and
Release.]{.underline}**[ Studies of electronic printing of forms and
electronic reporting of data via electronic data interchange (EDI),
Internet, computer assisted telephone interview (CATI), computerized
self administered questionnaires (CSAQ), touchtone data entry(TDE), etc.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.7]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Information Technology
Accessibility.]{.underline}**[ Research and develop electronic and
information technology that is accessible to people with disabilities.
For example, there is a need to develop prototypes for CSAQ, which may
be used by the visually impaired. The visually impaired use special
tools such as tactile displays, screen reading software and hardware,
and sound cues to allow them to react to messages on a computer screen.
Poor screen design can reduce the effectiveness of these
tools.]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.8]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Statistical
programming.]{.underline}**[ Research, develop and support sophisticated
software and information engineering research for statistical design,
estimation and analysis. Support the use of SAS analytical software in
analysis of research and production data to understand the implication
of various research alternatives. This could involve developing a
complete SAS application]{.underline}**[ ]{.underline}**[or supporting a
SAS development application on Bureau systems. Another potential
application is research on new or improved methods of matching and
linking records from a variety of sources such Social Security
Administration records, the Internal Revenue Service records, the postal
service records or other public and vendor supplied sources. Multiple
source files must be matched or linked. Since data are often incomplete
or inaccurate and files are rarely standardized, computing algorithms,
computer automation and computing power are critical to the successful
matching of administrative records. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.9]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Data Security.]{.underline}**[
Research on security and privacy technologies; alternative Work
Environment Technologies such as telecommuting, mobile computing,
virtual development and electronic collaboration; Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) technologies; extensible markup language
(XML)/Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) and other data exchange
technologies; On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Data Mining, and
network technologies, including directory services, terminal services
and desktop and server support]{.underline}

**[C.3.4.10 Other Services.]{.underline}**[ Other services in this area
that may be included are: training on the use and application of high
performance computers (standard course offerings or specially designed
programs); technical assistance for geo-processing, computer science,
computer operations, statistics, configuration management software
evaluation, or other relevant fields in the high performance computing
environment; development of software prototypes to address the areas
discussed above; and computer services such as CPU time and
telecommunications for work done in this area.]{.underline}

**[C.3.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[SUB-POPULATION
RESEARCH]{.underline}**

[This technical area focuses on research and development of methods for
the collection of information for racial and ethnic groups and other
populations requiring special enumeration procedures. Historical
coverage differentials have persisted; and, despite improvements in
coverage (overall and differential), there is a need to make continuous
improvement in efforts to enumerate these populations. Increasing
cultural and language diversity continues to create barriers to counting
people. For example, the increasing number of foreign-born people in the
United States affects concepts and how people react to survey and census
concepts and methodologies. The problems associated with literacy add
another dimension to coverage differentials. There also appears to be an
increase in the portion of the population that resides transiently or
not at all in households, including some components of the
institutionalized population (e.g., prisons and jail inmates), group
quarters population (e.g., shelter residents), as well as the population
with no usual residence. This trend causes difficulty for counting
people in the census and in current surveys.]{.underline}

[Possible areas of research are:]{.underline}

**[C.3.5.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Questionnaire
Design.]{.underline}**[ Questionnaire research on the content, wording,
and design of the questionnaire to facilitate response, completeness of
the questions, and data processing. Research is needed to validate that
different population groups understand the survey and census questions
and concepts. For example, changes in ethnic composition of the United
States need to be considered when designing questionnaire concepts and
wording, identification of race and ethnicity, and when completing
rosters. Also, the increasing number of persons born outside the United
States impact how these people relate to the survey and census concepts
and questionnaires. Research should focus on identifying ways to convey
these concepts to racial and ethnic groups and other populations
requiring special enumeration methodologies.]{.underline}

**[C.3.5.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Enumerations
Modes.]{.underline}**[ Research to assess if the use of different
enumeration methodologies (e.g., self-administered forms,
computer-assisted telephone interviews, computer-assisted personal
visits interviews, and interviewer-filled forms), have any impact on the
respondent\'s understanding and ability to answer the questions.
Finally, research is needed to determine the optimum question (or
questions) for identifying the racial and ethnic composition of the
population.]{.underline}

**[C.3.5.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Administrative
Records.]{.underline}**[ Research on administrative records and how
administrative records can supplement census and survey coverage for the
traditionally undercounted groups. Research is needed to determine what
segments of the population are covered by administrative records and if
administrative records can be used to address some of the problems of
differential coverage. Research is needed to assess the coverage gain or
loss for racial and ethnic groups and other populations requiring
special enumeration methodologies if administrative records are used in
place of information historically collected in censuses or surveys.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.5.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Hard-to-Enumerate
Methods.]{.underline}**[ Research to assess what special methods (e.g.,
questionnaire delivery) would improve coverage response of the
traditionally difficult to enumerate sub-population groups. For example,
in rural areas and on American Indian reservations there are few
city-style addresses. This impacts coverage of this population group.
Also, special methods may be needed to enumerate people in areas with
high seasonal units, or a very mobile population, such as migrant
workers, etc. Research should consider what special methods (e.g.,
questionnaire design, delivery, etc.) would improve response in low
response areas, and by historically undercounted population groups.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.5.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Ethnography.]{.underline}**[
Research barriers to enumeration and investigate applications, methods,
outreach, and communications appropriate for population groups defined
in categories other than \"race\" or ethnicity which are identified as
requiring special methods for listing, enumeration, and/or enumeration
support. Examples include people in migratory or seasonal occupations,
communities of language other than English such as recent immigrants,
institutions, and group quarters, or rural and remote or other areas
difficult to enumerate by conventional methods and those who required
accommodations or tailored approaches.]{.underline}

**[C.3.5.6 Non-English Language Data Collection Instruments.
]{.underline}**[Develop the content, wording, and design of data
collection instruments and supporting materials in Spanish (and other
languages, to a lesser extent, for the Decennial Census). Data
collection instruments include self-administered questionnaires as well
as those for CATI/CAPI, Web instruments, and instruments used for other
modes of data collection, such as voice recognition. Other supporting
materials that have a direct effect on response rates include such items
as cover letters to respondents and brochures explaining the purpose and
objective for a survey. Development encompasses the translation (in some
cases, there may be existing translations that require review) and
testing of the materials. Testing refers to research that includes an
array of pretesting techniques, including cognitive interviews with
respondents in both English and the target language, focus groups in
both English and the target language, and interviewer debriefings. Small
scale field tests may be considered. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[DATA ANALYSIS AND
DISSEMINATION]{.underline}**

[This technical area focuses on subject matter research. The Census
Bureau is the largest general-purpose statistical agency in the United
States and conducts censuses and surveys of households, individuals,
business firms, and governments. The statistics count and profile the
people and institutions of the United States and their interaction with
the rest of the world. Specifically, the Census Bureau conducts censuses
and sample surveys in the areas of population, housing, manufacturing,
business (wholesale trade, retail trade, and services), mineral
industries, construction, finance, transportation, governments, and
foreign trade. Since no data are static, continued research is needed on
the subject matter by analyzing the collected data and our dissemination
practices to improve the quality and usefulness of the data.
]{.underline}

[Possible areas of work are:]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Report
Guidelines.]{.underline}**[ Develop general guidelines for analyzing
data obtained from new survey designs and re‑designs and from new
methods of data collection. Survey practitioners analyze survey data in
order to write statistically‑defensible news releases, articles, and
reports for both the general public and for special audiences, such as
trade organizations, professional societies, and other survey
practitioners. An example of topics that could be explored include the
development of data analysis guidelines for new surveys designed to
measure e‑business activity and business supply‑chain issues.
]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Demographic
Analysis.]{.underline}**[ Evaluate the current data and methodologies
for international migration used in the estimation of the components of
international migration (e.g., illegal migration, temporary legal
migration, emigration). There is a great deal of interest in policy and
academic circles as to how these estimates are derived and the
implications of both the estimates and the methodologies used in their
calculation.]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Population Estimates and
Projections.]{.underline}**[ Studies focusing on population estimates
and projections. Analyses of basic estimated and projected demographic
and socio-economic characteristics of the population, of the components
of population change and of special population groups are needed. An
important area that needs to be researched involves evaluating decennial
census counts and deriving methods for measuring undercounts for the
United States for geographic areas and major ethnic groups based on
methods of demographic analysis. ]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Data Analysis.]{.underline}**[
Analysis of data on the social, demographic and economic characteristics
of the survey population. This includes research on education, families
and households, income, housing unit definitions, establishment
definitions, residence rules, internal migration, race, foreign-born
ancestry, Hispanic Origin, etc. It also includes conducting specialized
analyses covering population characteristics, macroeconomic (including
input-output) accounts, industrial activity, labor force, financial
systems and statistical reporting systems. This also includes research
on special subjects such as producing analyses and disseminating data on
HIV prevalence in Africa, Asia and Latin America and on sub-populations,
such as women, those living in group quarters, and those 65 years and
older. This also involves analyses of demographic, social, economic and
health data to assist in the understanding of the effect of aging
populations in the world on economic development and
health.]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Data Dissemination and
Presentation.]{.underline}**[ Research new methods for disseminating
socio-economic and geographic data using current technology trends in
effective user-friendly environments. The Census Bureau has been a
leader in applying dissemination methods (e.g. compact disk_read only
memory (CD_ROM), web-based and (digital versatile disc) DVD technology).
To exploit the usefulness of these technologies, research in new
methods, based on comprehensive user studies, aid in maintaining
responsive service to the data user community. This work includes
analysis of data usage from different dissemination systems such as
computer-assisted software engineering (CASE) tools, Internet, intranet,
voice-over-IP (VoIP), wireless communications, etc., and research on how
data users find and interpret economic data by geography, as well as,
with changing nature of economic activity (Business-to-Business,
eCommerce, etc.), how users find and interpret data by industry and
product/line. Research should focus on traditional table-based
presentation of data, as well as non-traditional (for Census)
presentation methods (including static and dynamic maps, graphs, and
charts). ]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Survey
Indicators/Measures.]{.underline}**[ Much of the census data is used as
components or indicators in indexes. Research and develop alternative
measures as inputs, benchmarks and indicators. For example, evaluate the
pros and cons of alternative ways of measuring benefits and expenses not
in the current poverty measurement, such as medical expenses, work
expenses, child care expenses, taxes, and the value of noncash benefits
(such as subsidized housing and free school lunches). Also involved here
are adjustments to poverty thresholds; for example, research is needed
to determine or evaluate the effectiveness of various methods of
adjusting poverty thresholds over time, adjusting them to reflect
different family sizes, and adjusting them to reflect the cost of living
by area of the country.]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.8]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[
Cross-Tabulations.]{.underline}**[ Compare statistics across surveys
that collect information for the same subject matter. Study the
conveyance and the sequencing of questions on the questionnaire for
items such as income, wealth, disability status, health insurance
coverage, participation in government programs, citizenship status and
place of birth. There is also a desire to get consultation from subject
matter experts on the use of other data sources‑‑such as exact matches
to administrative data and to analyze what improvements, if any, the
yields to the quality of the data we collect on surveys.]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.8]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Policy.]{.underline}**[ Evaluate
how to make our surveys as relevant as possible to policy makers.
Consultation with those with public policy and survey expertise would
help us ensure that our surveys remain as relevant to policy makers as
possible. For example, are there things the March CPS or SIPP could do
to be more relevant as a vehicle for welfare reform evaluations? Also
advice and assistance on our housing surveys is needed to study
important policy issues, such as: housing programs for the elderly,
housing modifications to for the disabled, reverse or home equity
conversion mortgages, measures of housing quality, Section 8 housing
assistance, and public housing funding allocation formula.]{.underline}

**[C.3.6.9]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ Time-Series
Analysis.]{.underline}**[ Explore the introduction of improved tools to
allow users to do time-series analysis of economic data, given the
dynamic nature of classification systems (NAICS, NAPCS, Geographies,
etc.) Includes research on the types of data dissemination tools that
Census should provide in electronic data dissemination vehicles to allow
users to do time-series analysis of Economic Census and survey data.
Could include research on tools to dynamically combine data from two or
more data sources as well as tools needed to build static combined data
sets. Also included are data user tools required to analyze data when
100 percent comparable vs. when they are "close enough" for users' needs
(as well as metadata needed to document relationships). ]{.underline}

any additional work outside the general scope of the contract; (2)
constitutes a change as defined in the contract clause entitled,
\"Changes;\" (3) in any manner causes an increase or decrease in the
total estimated contract cost, fixed fee, or time required for the

any such instruction or direction and shall request the CO to modify the
contract accordingly. Upon receiving such notification from the
Contractor, the CO shall issue an appropriate contract modification or

direction, or upon the contract action to be taken with respect thereto,
shall be subject to the provisions of the contract clause entitled,

the CO and will include relevant background information, task
objectives, delivery or performance schedules, performance measures, and
a description of the work to be performed in sufficient detail to permit
accurate estimation of cost, work hours, other direct costs, and
completion date. Any special requirements such as security requirements,
or provision of Government furnished material or information will be
outlined and/or provided. The estimated level of effort may be
disclosed. Tasks may be issued under this contract on a fixed price
basis, a labor hour basis with a Not‑to‑Exceed ceiling amount or a
time‑and‑materials basis (T&M), incentive type or any combination
thereof. The task request will describe the preferred pricing method
(i.e., fixed price, Not‑to‑Exceed ceiling price or T&M). The task
request will be either mailed or transmitted by facsimile to all
Contractors.

**H.22.2 [Task Proposal]{.underline}.** The Contractor shall submit a
written proposal in response to the task request no later than ten (10)
working days after the issue date of the task request. Faster response
time for emergency tasks will be mutually agreed upon by the Contract
Officer and the Contractor. Additional time may be allowed upon request,
if necessary, subject to approval by the CO. The proposal shall include:

[1. A narrative description of the Contractor\'s understanding of the
activities required to satisfy the requirement.]{.underline}

[2. A narrative description of the Contractor\'s proposed solution ‑
plans for performance and meeting performance measures, technical
approach, any problem areas, and assumptions, if
applicable.]{.underline}

3\. Definition of milestones, deliverables and schedules.

[4. A detailed schedule with the estimated labor hours and
identification of the skill descriptions of the personnel necessary to
perform the task, and the price applicable to each milestone or
deliverable, as appropriate.]{.underline}

[A staffing schedule and the names and resumes of the key personnel (as
defined in Clause H.6) to be assigned to the task order. Resumes will
only be required for key personnel not included in the original proposal
and are not to exceed three pages. Resumes should be current, updated
within the past year, and the education and experience should reflect
the SOW requirements. ]{.underline}

[5. If required, a detailed definition of travel to be performed,
including schedule, location, cost estimate, duration, personnel
involved, and purpose of each trip.]{.underline}

[6. A detailed definition of the supplemental resources required for
performance, to be provided by the Government or on a reimbursable basis
by the Contractor.]{.underline}

[7. Any subcontracting or consultants required.]{.underline}

**H.22.3 [Selection Criteria]{.underline}. **Selection criteria for
individual orders shall be made based on the expected greatest overall
benefit among all proposed solutions. Past performance information on
previous tasks will be considered. The Government program manager and
his/her evaluators shall determine which proposal offers the best value
to the Government. Individual task requests may include specific
criteria for the specific task order.

**H.22.4 [Negotiations and Task Issuance]{.underline}.**

[1. Negotiations will take place at a time and place designated by the
Government (possibly by telephone). The skills, specific
education/experience of personnel, estimated hours, and Other Direct
Costs (ODCs) will be negotiated on each task order. The Government
reserves the right to require specific experience and/or educational
requirements in order to meet the requirements of the individual task
order. Following negotiations, the Contractor shall submit a finalized
proposal within two (2) workdays which reflects the results of the
negotiations.]{.underline}

[2. A task order may be issued without negotiations based on the
acceptability of the task proposal. If negotiations are conducted and
agreement cannot be reached on any aspect of the task, the Government
has the right to unilaterally issue the task order, and the Contractor
is required to perform; however, while performance is taking place, the
Contractor has the right to pursue applicable remedies under the
\"Disputes\" clause of the contract.]{.underline}

3\. Upon the conclusion of all negotiations and evaluation of task
proposals, the CO will issue a task order. Upon signature of the CO,
each task order is considered fully executed, binding, and ready for
implementation. Each task order will be forwarded to the Contractor
(generally by facsimile, followed by regular mail). The order(s) will
reference both the task statement and the Contractor\'s proposal and
must be executed by the CO before work may commence. The Government
cannot predict the number of task orders to be issued under this
contract. All provisions of the contract will apply. The following
specific conditions will apply:

[a. All task orders must be accounted for separately. They will
ordinarily be of a completion type unless they are for services which
cannot with certainty be estimated before award. In those cases,
professional staff hours to be furnished will be set forth with
Not‑to‑Exceed ceilings specified.]{.underline}

[b. If circumstances warrant, the task order may be modified. If the
Contractor believes a change is necessary, the CO shall be notified in
writing. When a task order requires a modification or change either at
the request of the Government or the Contractor, the modification/change
shall be formalized by the issuance of a written modification to the
task order, and the contract modified, if applicable. No changes may
take place without approval of the CO.]{.underline}

[c. Key personnel shall be assigned and available on this contract
starting from the date of contract award or issuance of task orders,
whichever is applicable. The Contractor shall make no substitutions of
key personnel unless the substitution is necessitated by illness, death,
or termination of employment. The Contractor shall notify the
contracting officer within five (5) calendar days after the occurrence
of any of these events and provide the following
information.]{.underline}

[The Contractor shall provide a detailed explanation of the
circumstances necessitating the proposed substitution(s), complete
resume(s) for the proposed substitute(s), and any additional information
requested by the Contracting Officer. Proposed substitute(s) shall have
qualifications that meet or exceed those of the person(s) being
replaced. The CO will notify the Contractor within five (5) calendar
days after receipt of all required information of the decision on
substitution(s). The contract or task order will be modified to reflect
any approved change(s) of key personnel.]{.underline}

[Key personnel lost must be replaced within 15 calendar days from the
date of the vacancy. ]{.underline}

[d. In order to accommodate urgent program requirements, the CO may give
the Contractor oral, facsimile or written notice to proceed on a
specific requirement in advance of issuing a formal task order. Any such
orders will be followed by a written task order as soon as
practicable.]{.underline}

[e. Work on task orders shall commence no later than seven (7) calendar
days from the task order issuance date or a mutually agreed upon
date.]{.underline}

[f. Conflict in Terms.]{.underline}

[Any conflict between any task order and any term or condition of the
contract must be immediately reported to the CO. The terms and
conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the language of
any task order.]{.underline}

[g. Termination of Task Orders.]{.underline}

[The Government retains the right to terminate or stop work on any task
order and will negotiate an equitable adjustment in the task order price
for work performed. Upon such termination, the Contractor shall deliver
to the Government all documents, printouts, file listings, tapes and
record listings produced by or provided to the Contractor.]{.underline}

**[H.23]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ACCESSIBILITY
STANDARDS]{.underline}**

All electronic and information technology (EIT) procured through this
order shall meet the applicable accessibility

standards at 36 CFR 394; 36 CFR 394 implements Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and is

viewable at http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/508standards.htm - PART
394. The following standards have been

[determined to be applicable to this order:]{.underline}

[394.21 Software applications and operating systems]{.underline}

[394.22 Web-based Intranet and Internet information and
applications]{.underline}

[ 394.23 Telecommunications products]{.underline}

[The standards do not require the installation of specific
accessibility-related software or the attachment of an
assistive]{.underline}

[technology device, but merely require that the EIT be compatible with
such software and devices so that it can be made]{.underline}

[accessible if so required by the agency in the future.]{.underline}

paid, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an
officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or
employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in
connection with a Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative
agreement.]{.underline}

\(3\) The prohibitions of the Act do not apply under the following
conditions:

[(i) Agency and legislative liaison by own employees.]{.underline}

\(A\) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph
(b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of a payment of
reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person
requesting or receiving a covered Federal action if the payment is for
agency and legislative liaison activities not directly related to a
covered Federal action.

[(B) For purposes of subdivision (b)(3)(i)(A) of this clause, providing
any information specifically requested by an agency or Congress is
permitted at any time.]{.underline}

[(C) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are
permitted at any time where they are not related to a specific
solicitation for any covered Federal action:]{.underline}

[(1) Discussing with an agency the qualities and characteristics
(including individual demonstrations) of the person\'s products or
services, conditions or terms of sale, and service
capabilities.]{.underline}

[(2) Technical discussions and other activities regarding the
application or adaptation of the person\'s products or services for an
agency\'s use.]{.underline}

[(D) The following agency and legislative liaison activities are
permitted where they are prior to formal solicitation of any covered
Federal action‑‑]{.underline}

[(1) Providing any information not specifically requested but necessary
for an agency to make an informed decision about initiation of a covered
Federal action;]{.underline}

[(2) Technical discussions regarding the preparation of an unsolicited
proposal prior to its official submission; and]{.underline}

[(3) Capability presentations by persons seeking awards from an agency
pursuant to the provisions of the Small Business Act, as amended by Pub.
L. 95‑507, and subsequent amendments.]{.underline}

[(E) Only those services expressly authorized by subdivision
(b)(3)(i)(A) of this clause are permitted under this
clause.]{.underline}

[(ii) Professional and technical services.]{.underline}

[(A) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph
(b)(1) of this clause, does not apply in the case of‑‑]{.underline}

\(1\) A payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or
employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or
an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a
covered Federal action, if payment is for professional or technical
services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or
negotiation of any bid, proposal, or application for that Federal action
or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition
for receiving that Federal action.

\(2\) Any reasonable payment to a person, other than an officer or
employee of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action or
any extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a
covered Federal action if the payment is for professional or technical
services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or
negotiation of any bid, proposal, or application for that Federal action
or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition
for receiving that Federal action. Persons other than officers or
employees of a person requesting or receiving a covered Federal action
include consultants and trade associations.

[(B) For purposes of subdivision (b)(3)(ii)(A) of this clause,
\"professional and technical services\" shall be limited to advice and
analysis directly applying any professional or technical discipline. For
example, drafting of a legal document accompanying a bid or proposal by
a lawyer is allowable. Similarly, technical advice provided by an
engineer on the performance or operational capability of apiece of
equipment rendered directly in the negotiation of a contract is
allowable. However, communications with the intent to influence made by
a professional (such as a licensed lawyer) or a technical person (such
ASA licensed accountant) are not allowable under this section unless
they provide advice and analysis directly applying their professional or
technical expertise and unless the advice or analysis is rendered
directly and solely in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a
covered Federal action. Thus, for example, communications with the
intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or
analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her
client\'s proposal, but generally advocate one proposal over another are
not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing
professional legal services. Similarly, communications with the intent
to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior
to the preparation or submission of a bid or proposal are not allowable
under this section since the engineer is providing technical services
but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a
covered Federal action.]{.underline}

[(C) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for
receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or
regulation and any other requirements in the actual award
documents.]{.underline}

[ (D) Only those services expressly authorized by subdivisions (b) (3)
(ii) (A) (1) and (2) of this clause are permitted under this
clause.]{.underline}

\(E\) The reporting requirements of FAR 3.803(a) shall not apply with
respect to payments of reasonable compensation made to regularly
employed officers or employees of a person.

[(iii) Selling activities by independent sales
representatives.]{.underline}

[The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in subparagraph (b)
(1) of this clause, does not apply to the following sales activities
before an agency by independent sales representatives, provided such
activities are prior to formal solicitation by an agency and are
specifically limited to the merits of the matter;]{.underline}

[(A) Discussing with an agency (including individual demonstrations) the
qualities and characteristics of the person\'s products or services,
conditions or terms of sale, and service capabilities; and]{.underline}

[(B) Technical discussions and other activities regarding the
application or adoption of the person\'s products or services for an
agency\'s use.]{.underline}

[(c) Disclosure.]{.underline}

[(1) The Contractor who requests or receives from an agency a Federal
contract shall file with that agency a disclosure form, OMB standard
form LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, if such person has made or
has agreed to make any payment using nonappropriated funds (to include
profits from any covered Federal action), which would be prohibited
under subparagraph (b)(1) of this clause, if paid for with appropriated
funds.]{.underline}

[(2) The Contractor shall file a disclosure form at the end of each

[(a) Exceptions from cost or pricing data. (1) In lieu of submitting
cost or pricing data for modifications under this contract, for price
adjustments expected to exceed the threshold set forth at FAR 15.403‑4
on the date of the agreement on price or the date of the award,
whichever is later, the Contractor may submit a written request for
exception by submitting the information described in the following
subparagraphs. The CO may require additional supporting information, but
only to the extent necessary to determine whether an exception should be
granted, and whether the price is fair and reasonable‑‑]{.underline}

\(i\) Identification of the law or regulation establishing the price
offered. If the price is controlled under law by periodic rulings,
reviews, or similar actions of a governmental body, attach a copy of the
controlling document, unless it was previously submitted to the
contracting office.

[(ii) Information on modifications of contracts or subcontracts for
commercial items. If ‑‑]{.underline}

cost or pricing data requirements because the price agreed upon was
based on adequate price competition or prices set by law or regulation,
or was a contract or subcontract for the acquisition of a commercial
item; and]{.underline}

[(2) The modification (to the contract or subcontract) is not exempted
based on one of these exceptions, then the Contractor may provide
information to establish that the modification would not change the
contract or subcontract from a contract or subcontract for the
acquisition of a commercial item to a contract or subcontract for the
acquisition of an item other than a commercial item.]{.underline}

[(b) For a commercial item exception, the Contractor shall provide, at a
minimum, information on prices at which the same item or similar items
have previously been sold that is adequate for evaluating the
reasonableness of the price of the modification. Such information may
include ‑‑]{.underline}

[(c) For catalog items, a copy of or identification of the catalog and
its date, or the appropriate pages for the offered items, or a statement
that the catalog is on file in the buying office to which the proposal
is being submitted. Provide a copy or describe current discount policies
and price lists (published or unpublished), e.g., wholesale, original
equipment manufacturer, or reseller. Also explain the basis of each
offered price and its relationship to the established catalog price,
including how the proposed price relates to the price of recent sales in
quantities similar to the proposed quantities. ]{.underline}

[(d) For market‑priced items, the source and date or period of the
market quotation or other basis for market price, the base amount, and
applicable discounts. In addition, describe the nature of the
market.]{.underline}

[(e) For items included on an active Federal Supply Service Multiple
Award Schedule contract, proof that an exception has been granted for
the schedule item. ]{.underline}

\(f\) The Contractor grants the CO or an authorized representative the
right to examine, at any time before award, books, records, documents,
or other directly pertinent records to verify any request for an
exception under this clause, and the reasonableness of price. For items
priced using catalog or market prices, or law or regulation, access does
not extend to cost or profit information or other data relevant solely
to the Contractor\'s determination of the prices to be offered in the
catalog or marketplace.

[(g) Requirements for cost or pricing data. If the Contractor is not
granted an exception from the requirement to submit cost or pricing
data, the following applies: ]{.underline}

[(1) The Contractor shall submit cost or pricing data and supporting
attachments in accordance with Table 15‑2 of FAR 15.408.]{.underline}

[(2) As soon as practicable after agreement on price, but before award
(except for unpriced actions), the Contractor shall submit a Certificate

Contractor may advise the State system when it is no longer bound by
this contract clause. ]{.underline}

[(5) Under the most compelling circumstances, an employment opening may

organization or employer‑union arrangement for that opening.

employees. ]{.underline}

[(2) These notices shall be posted in conspicuous places that are
available to employees and applicants for employment. They shall be in a
form prescribed by the Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs, Department of Labor (Director), and provided by or through the

**[L.24]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[ORAL
PRESENTATION]{.underline}**

1\. Following the receipt and evaluation of written proposals, the
Government will conduct a competitive range determination. Offerors
within the range will be invited to conduct an oral presentation. The
Government will determine the order in which Offerors shall provide
their oral presentations. Following this selection, the Government will
notify Offerors of the scheduled date and time for their oral
presentation.

2\. The Government anticipates use of a voluntary \"down-select\"
process for this procurement. The term \"down-select\" as it is used
herein refers to a two-step procurement technique where the number of
competitors is reduced in a first step by a preliminary screening and a
best value procurement is conducted between the remaining competitors in
the second step. In this process, the offers will be evaluated on the
written capability information as described in this solicitation and
information gathered by the Government through a past performance
survey. Prior to oral presentations, based on the Government\'s
evaluation of the written material and past performance information,
offerors will be informed that it is unlikely that they will win the
competition. The Offeror will be given the opportunity to withdraw from
the competition to save additional proposal costs and efforts. Those
firms who wish to remain in the competition will be allowed to continue
to the oral presentation stage of the procurement.

3\. [Purpose.]{.underline} The oral presentation is a tool, the sole
purpose of which is to enable the evaluators to assess each Offeror\'s
relative level of familiarity with and understanding of the work that,
as Contractor, it would have to perform under the prospective contract.
The Offeror\'s representatives must show by their presentation and by
answers to the government\'s questions that they understand the
requirements; that they are familiar with the kinds of problems that may
develop during performance; and that they are capable of developing
practicable and effective solutions to those problems. The Offerors will
be given a sample task and an equal amount of time to study the task. At
the end of the allotted time, the Offerors will have an opportunity to
explain to the Government evaluators their approach and/or proposed
solution to the sample task. The oral presentation will not encompass
price or cost discussions or issues.

4\. [Schedule.]{.underline} The Contracting Officer will schedule the
oral presentation and notify each Offeror of the scheduled date, time
and location of its presentation. The Government will provide a minimum
of fourteen (14) business days notice to the Offeror of the scheduled
date and location. The Offeror must make its oral presentation in
accordance with these instructions and any additional instructions that
the contracting officer may provide. The Contracting Officer may
reschedule an Offeror\'s oral presentation at his or her sole
discretion.

5\. [Participation and Attendance.]{.underline} The Offeror\'s
presenters(s) must be chosen from among the Offeror\'s proposed key
personnel. The Offeror may not use a professional speaker; however,
individuals proposed as key personnel to perform on the contract who are
consultants and/or employees of a proposed subcontractor may
participate. If proposed consultants are used as presenters, their
resume and an employment or consulting agreement(s) must be submitted as
part of the offer. The proposed Project Director must attend. The
Offeror may send no more than six (6) representatives to the oral
presentation.

6\. [Questions.]{.underline} During the presentation the Government\'s
attendees will not interrupt the Offeror to ask questions (except to
request the repetition of inaudible words or statements or the
explanation of terms that are unknown to them) or otherwise engage the
Offeror in any dialogue. However, the Government will conduct a question
and answer session following the presentation during which the
Offeror\'s representative must answer questions from the evaluators.

[The Government will not consider the Offeror\'s oral presentation and
the question and answer session to be part of the Offeror\'s proposal,
as that term is used in the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The
Government will not include the Offeror\'s presentation and its answers
to questions in any prospective contract. The Government will not permit
an Offeror to discuss or change its proposal during the oral
presentation or the question and answer session. Cost and/or price
issues will not be discussed.]{.underline}

[7. Discussions. The oral presentation and the question and answer
session will not constitute discussions, as that term is defined and
used in FAR subpart 15.6. The Government will not solicit or entertain
revisions to the Offeror\'s oral presentation, its response to the
sample task or answers to questions.]{.underline}

[8. Topics. During the oral presentation, the Offeror must address the
following topics: ]{.underline}

[- General background of company]{.underline}

[- Corporate experience/Past Performance]{.underline}

[- Technical Qualifications of Key Personnel ]{.underline}

[ Personnel sources/management plans (i.e. How will you staff the
tasks?)]{.underline}

[- Project management plan (i.e. How will you manage the
tasks?)]{.underline}

[9. Sample Task. Following the oral presentation, the Offeror will be
given the Government\'s sample task. After the presentation of the
sample task, the Offeror shall have 30 minutes to prepare a response and
concluding the preparation time, the Offeror will present the solution
of the sample task to the Government. The sample tasks involve the
following:]{.underline}

[For Survey Engineering: The development and testing of the prototype
for a continuous, automated system that replaces a multi-step,
multi-disciplined system.]{.underline}

[For Assessment, Planning and Analysis: The tracking of technological
advances and analysis of user interface for a new
technology.]{.underline}

[For Statistical Analysis: The research and development of statistical
models that explain specific human behavior in survey data
collection.]{.underline}

[For Methodological Research: The investigation and testing of ways to
improve response rates and reduce respondent burden in
surveys.]{.underline}

[For Sub-Populations Research: The investigation and testing of ways to
correctly obtain some demographic information for a selected
subpopulation group.]{.underline}

[For Data Analysis and Dissemination: Evaluate the pros and cons of
alternative ways of measuring benefits and expenses not in the current
poverty measurement, such as medical expenses, work expenses, child care
expenses, taxes, and the value of noncash benefits (such as subsidized
housing and free school lunches).]{.underline}

[10. The oral presentation shall be sufficiently detailed, specific, and
complete to enable the Government to thoroughly evaluate the
presentation in accordance with Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award.
]{.underline}

[11. Oral presentations will be targeted toward the technical
complexities associated with this requirement. Accordingly, the key
personnel identified in the Offeror's proposal will be required to
address the questions posed by the Government. Offeror presenters will
be limited to those key personnel identified in their proposal. There
will be no requirement for any written or slide presentations during the
oral presentations. Accordingly, the Government will not accept any
written or other materials (e.g., marketing or corporate brochures,
proposal amendments, etc.) for evaluation during oral presentations or
the question and answer session.]{.underline}

**[L.24.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[PRESENTATION MEDIA]{.underline}**

[The Offeror shall use 8 ½ inch by 11 inch, black and white overhead
slides (transparencies) when making its presentation. The Offeror may
not use any other presentation media. The Government will provide a
blank pad of flip chart paper, an overhead projector, screen, and marker
pens for the offeror\'s use during the presentation. ]{.underline}

**[Presentation overhead slides shall be delivered no less than seven
(7) days prior to the scheduled date for the oral presentation. Slides
will not be accepted on the day of the oral presentation.]{.underline}**

[The overhead slides must conform to the following
specifications:]{.underline}

[\* Text Slides:]{.underline}

[ - Font: Times New Roman]{.underline}

[ - Heading font size: 44 points]{.underline}

[ - Subheading font size: 32 points]{.underline}

[- Number of lines: No more than eight lines (bullets) per
slide]{.underline}

[ - Line font size: No smaller than 28 points]{.underline}

[ - Supplemental notes: none permitted]{.underline}

[\* Graphic Slides:]{.underline}

[- Heading font size: 44 points]{.underline}

[- Caption font size: no smaller than 18 points]{.underline}

[The Offeror must submit its overhead slides and 8 sets of 8 ½ inch by
11 inch, landscape orientation, paper copies of its overhead slides, and
bind each set in a three-ring loose-leaf binder. In order to ensure the
integrity of the source selection process, the offeror must use the
overhead slides submitted to the Government when making its oral
presentation, without alteration. The evaluation board may review the
copies of the slides prior to the presentation. The offeror may submit
no other written documentation for its oral presentation. There is no
limit on the number of slides that an offeror may use during its
presentation. However, when evaluating the Offeror, the Government will
consider only the information on the overhead transparencies actually
used during the presentation and will discard all others.]{.underline}

**[L.25]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[O]{.underline}[RAL PRESENTATION
FORMAT]{.underline}**

[1. The format for the oral presentations will be as
follows:]{.underline}

[Presentation 1 hour]{.underline}

[Question & Answers 20 mins.]{.underline}

[Break 20 mins.]{.underline}

[Sample Task presentation 20 mins.]{.underline}

[Offeror Preparation of sample task 30 mins.]{.underline}

[Offeror Presentation of sample task 30 mins.]{.underline}

[2. The oral presentation shall commence with an introduction by name,
position, company affiliation, and area of expertise for each key
personnel. Introductions will count towards the time limit. The
Government will monitor the allotted time, announcing the start and end
of the presentation periods. The Government will not interrupt the
Offeror to ask questions (except clarification of terms or misheard
words) or otherwise engage the Offeror in any dialogue. ]{.underline}

[The Contracting Officer will tell the Offeror when to start its
presentation, keep time and stop the presentation at the end of the 60
minute time period whether or not the Offeror is finished. The Offeror
will be given the sample task at the end of its
presentation.]{.underline}

[3. During the Oral Presentations the Government will enter into a
question and answer period with the Offeror following completion of its
oral presentation. This period will also allow the Government to clarify
and discuss information provided in the oral presentation.]{.underline}

**L.26 [ORAL PRESENTATION LOGISTICS]{.underline}**

**L.26.1 [LOCATION ]{.underline}**

Oral presentations shall be conducted at the U.S. Census Bureau in
Suitland, MD. The oral presentation shall begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at
approximately 11:30 a.m., or shall begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 4:00
p.m., unless the Offeror is otherwise notified.

**L.26.2 [AUTHORIZED PRESENTERS]{.underline}**

[1. Only Key Personnel shall participate in the one hour oral
presentation. The Contracting Officer may allow substitute personnel
under dire circumstances but this may affect the Offeror's technical
evaluation. Teleconferencing is not allowed. Non Key Personnel may
attend the oral presentation, participate in the question and answer
session, and participate in the preparation of the solution to the
sample task. Only Key Personnel shall present the proposed solution to
the task. ]{.underline}

[2. There shall be no entry and exit allowed from the oral presentation
facility once the first presentation begins, with the exception of
Government‑determined break periods.]{.underline}

[3. It is at the discretion of the Offeror as to which presentation
personnel present a particular segment. There is no limit on the number
of presenters within a segment, although there will be no additional
time provided for introductions and/or set‑up
modifications.]{.underline}

-   4\. A telephone may not be available in the room where the oral
    presentation will be conducted, but the Offeror may use a cellular
    telephone to contact others, to assist in the preparation of the
    response for the sample task.

**L.26.3 [RECORD OF ORAL PRESENTATIONS]{.underline} **

**The Government will audiotape the oral presentation for its records
and will not provide a copy of the tape to the Offeror. **

**Offerors will not be allowed to videotape or audiotape the oral
presentation.**

**L.27 [DISCUSSIONS]{.underline}**

[1. The Government reserves the right to award without conducting
discussions.]{.underline}

[2. If discussions are necessary, this discussion period will allow the
Government to clarify and discuss information provided in the written
proposals and oral presentation, address any weaknesses and
deficiencies, and gain additional information concerning the Offeror's
proposal, as required. Although the Offeror may have additional
personnel in attendance at the discussion period, the key personnel
participating in the oral presentation shall attend these
discussions.]{.underline}

[3. The Government reserves the right to call for discussions, proposal
clarifications, and or revisions at any time as may be determined to be
in the Government's best interest and in accordance with the
FAR.]{.underline}

**L.28 [TELEGRAPHIC OFFERS]{.underline}**

Telegraphic (including mailgrams) offers, proposals are not authorized
for this solicitation.

**[SECTION M:]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[EVALUATION FACTORS FOR
AWARD]{.underline}**

[Source evaluation will be conducted and selection will be made in
accordance with the guidelines provided in the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR).]{.underline}

**[M.1 ]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[BASIS FOR AWARD]{.underline}**[
]{.underline}

[The Bureau of the Census (BOC) source evaluation will be based on best
value principles. Accordingly, award will be made to the responsible and
technically acceptable Offeror whose proposal provides the greatest
overall value to the Government, price and other factors considered.
This will be determined by comparing the value of the differences in the
technical skills of competing offers based on their strengths,
weaknesses, and risks with differences of their price to the Government.
In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with
obtaining superior technical skills than with making an award at the
lowest overall cost to the Government. However, the Government will not
make an award at a significantly higher overall price to the Government
to achieve slightly superior technical skills.]{.underline}

**[M.2 ]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[GENERAL SELECTION AND AWARD
CONDITIONS]{.underline}**

**[M.2.1 ]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[SOURCE SELECTION
PROCEDURES]{.underline}**

[1. Formal source selection procedures encompass the use of a structured
process that involves a source selection organization responsible for
the evaluation of the proposals and selection of a source for contract
award. The source selection organization consists of a team of
Government representatives with the technical expertise required to
evaluate and make contract award.]{.underline}

[2. The source selection organization will be responsible for evaluating
and selecting the successful Offerors for this requirement. Select
members of the team will be responsible for evaluating the technical
merits of Volumes I, II, and the oral presentations(Volume IV) and other
members will be responsible for evaluating the merits of Volume III,
Price and Other Business Factors. After initial and any subsequent
evaluations, the source selection organization will conduct a final
assessment of the Offerors' proposals. The source selection organization
will arrive at a consensus on which offeror's proposal represents the
best value for the Government. ]{.underline}

**[M.2.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[STREAMLINING]{.underline}**

**[M.2.2.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[DISCUSSIONS]{.underline}[
]{.underline}**

The Government intends to award contracts based on initial offers
received without discussion of such offers. Accordingly, it is
**strongly suggested** that each initial offer should be submitted on
the most favorable price and technical terms that the offeror can submit
to the Government. The Government does reserve the right to conduct
discussions with the Offerors. The discussions may include all aspects
of the proposal. At any point in the evaluation process the Government
may communicate with Offerors.

**M.2.2.2** **[OFFEROR ATTENDANCE AT DISCUSSIONS]{.underline}**

Attendance of Offeror personnel and subcontractors at discussions will
be limited to those individuals required for the accomplishment of the
objectives of the discussions. Therefore, Offerors shall take into
consideration BOC streamlining efforts when preparing their proposals to
ensure the availability of personnel assigned to the preparation and
subsequent negotiation of proposals. Because the BOC will rely on the
information provided at these discussions, it is imperative that at
least one of the individuals participating be an authorized officer of
the firm possessing the authority to commit the firm and its resources.

**M.2.2.3 [OTHER INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE FOR
EVALUATION]{.underline}**

In conducting the evaluation of the proposals, the BOC reserves the
right to utilize all information available at the time of evaluations.
The BOC may rely on information contained in its own records (such as
Government audit agencies), information made available through reference
checks, information available through commercial sources (such as Dun
and Bradstreet Reports) and information publicly available (such as
articles contained in periodicals).

**M.2.3 [SITE VISITS]{.underline}**

The Government reserves the right to visit or contact other customer
sites that the Offeror is currently supporting, or previous customers
who have obtained similar services prior to award of the contract. Site
visits may be required to verify information provided in Offerors'
proposals. Site visits, if conducted, will be taken into consideration
as part of the evaluation factors set forth below. The BOC will use
information obtained during site visits (if any) to validate information
contained in Offeror proposals.

**M.3 [METHOD OF EVALUATION]{.underline}**

[1. Proposals will be evaluated against the requirements of the
solicitation and in accordance with the evaluation factors set forth
below to determine the Offeror's demonstrated ability to perform the
services required. General statements such as "the vast resources of our
nationwide company will be used to perform the services required by the
Statement of Work" are not sufficient. The Offeror shall clearly address
each element of the proposal as required by Section L of this
solicitation. Any proposal failing to address all of the elements of
Section C may be considered indicative of the Offeror's lack of
understanding in response to the Government\'s requirements and may be
considered unacceptable.]{.underline}

-   2\. The evaluation will be conducted using the evaluation factors
    set forth below. In the evaluation we will use the Offeror's written
    proposals, oral presentation, questions and answers, discussions,
    and any other information as stated in M.2.2.3.

3\. The Government reserves the right to determine the specific order
and duration of individual activities as the evaluation proceeds, and
may call for discussions, proposal clarifications, and revisions at any
time as may be determined to be in the Government\'s best interests and
in accordance with the FAR.

**M.3.1 [EVALUATION FACTORS]{.underline}**

[1. Proposals will be evaluated in relation to the evaluation factors.
The proposal evaluation factors are categorized as technical or business
evaluation factors, and are listed below.]{.underline}

**[ ]{.underline}[Technical Evaluation Factors:]{.underline}**

**[Factor 1: ]{.underline}**[Past Performance and Corporate
Experience]{.underline}

**[Factor 2: ]{.underline}**[Key Personnel]{.underline}

**[Factor 3: ]{.underline}**[Understanding of the Governments\'
Requirements, Nature of the Work, and Sample Task]{.underline}

**[Factor 4: ]{.underline}**[Personnel/Project Management
Plan]{.underline}

[ ]{.underline}**[Business Evaluation Factors:]{.underline}**

**[Factor 5: ]{.underline}**[Price and Other Business
Factors]{.underline}

[2. Past Performance and Corporate Experience; Key Personnel;
Understanding of the Governments\' Requirements, Nature of the Work, and
Sample Task; and Project Management Plan factors are referred to as the
Technical Factors. Price and Other Business Factors, referred to as the
Business Factors, are factors that will be evaluated separately and
applied in the determination of best value.]{.underline}

[3. The technical evaluation will be attained through a determination
and analysis of strengths, weaknesses, and risks of each proposal.
Technical risk will be included in the final evaluation of each factor
and will not be evaluated as a separate factor. In the assessment of
technical risk, the Government evaluators will also consider other
available information.]{.underline}

**[M.3.2 ]{.underline}[RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAL
FACTORS]{.underline}**

[The Technical Evaluation Factors, in their relative order of
importance, are: ]{.underline}

**M.3.3 [BUSINESS EVALUATION FACTORS]{.underline}**

The Business Evaluation Factor is less important than the Technical
Evaluation Factors. The Business Evaluation Factors are not weighted.
The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of
equality of the proposals in relation to the other factors on which
selection will be based.

**M.3.4 [FACTOR 1 - PAST PERFORMANCE AND CORPORATE EXPERIENCE
FACTOR]{.underline}**

1\. Given the critical need to guard against poor contract performance,
the Past Performance and Corporate Experience evaluation factor is the
most important factor and will assess the relevance and breadth of the
Offeror's experience and the quality of the Offeror's past performance
on contracts consistent in scope and complexity with the R&D 2007
requirement. The Government is seeking to determine whether:

[a. The Offeror has experience that will enhance its technical and
managerial capability to perform, and ]{.underline}

[b. The Offeror consistently delivers quality services in a timely
manner.]{.underline}

[2. The quality of the Offeror's past performance will be evaluated on
the basis of information contained in the Offeror's proposal and the
information that the Government obtains through reference checks or
other means. The past performance information may include the Offeror's
record of providing high quality services in a timely manner; conforming
to specifications and the standards of good workmanship; adhering to
contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of contract
performance; overall personnel quality, availability, and stability;
reasonable and cooperative behavior; commitment to and business‑like
concern for the interests of the customer; overall program management
approach, quality, and capability; record of awards or performance
recognition earned; and overall client satisfaction. If the Offeror and
subcontractor(s) has no single experience that encompasses all types of
past performance and experience defined under this factor, then the
Offeror may show past performance and experience through a combination
of projects which together show that work has been accomplished that is
consistent in scope and complexity with the R&D 2007
requirement.]{.underline}

[3. The evaluation of this factor will provide an indication of the
Offeror's ability to hire staff and manage technical personnel assigned
to operations similar in function, scope and complexity to the R&D 2007
requirements, and will indicate the likelihood of the Offeror's success.
Included in this evaluation will be an assessment whether or not the
Offeror is able to meet agreed-upon subcontracting goals, if
applicable.]{.underline}

**[M.3.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[FACTOR 2 - KEY
PERSONNEL]{.underline}**

[This factor will be evaluated on the basis of the Key Personnel defined
by the BOC in ]{.underline}**[Section H.6, ]{.underline}**[and
additional key personnel the Offeror proposes to make available to the
R&D2007 project, as stated in its written proposal and oral
presentation. The Key Personnel should have relevant experience in
performing the tasks required of this solicitation in other projects
that are similar in function, scope, and complexity to the R&D2007
requirements. The key personnel will be evaluated for the breadth,
depth, and quality of relevant experience, results and effectiveness of
their work in achieving goals in performance of projects of similar size
and complexity to the R&D2007 requirement. The Key Personnel will be
evaluated against the education and experience guidelines provided in
Section C.5, and those proposals that offer higher qualified personnel
will receive higher evaluation scores.]{.underline}

**[M.3.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[FACTOR 3 - UNDERSTANDING OF THE
GOVERNMENT\'S REQUIREMENTS, NATURE OF]{.underline}**

**[WORK, AND SAMPLE TASK ]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}**

[The Government will evaluate the offerors\' understanding of the
Government\'s requirements, its understanding of the nature of the work
to be performed under the prospective contract(s) and its solution to
the sample task.]{.underline}

**[M.3.7]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[FACTOR 4 - PERSONNEL/PROJECT
MANAGEMENT PLAN]{.underline}**

[The Government will evaluate the offerors\' methods for staffing,
managing personnel, subcontracting plans, and project management plans,
including, but not limited to, managing priorities, task monitoring, and
decision making processes. ]{.underline}

**[M.4]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[BUSINESS EVALUATION]{.underline}**

[The business evaluation will assess price and other business factors as
deemed appropriate by the BOC. ]{.underline}

**[M.4.1]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[PRICE EVALUATION]{.underline}**

[Under the price factor, the price proposal will be evaluated to
determine, among other things, price analysis, price reasonableness, and
any risks attributable to composition of the prices proposed.
]{.underline}

**M.4.1.1 [PRICE ANALYSIS]{.underline}**

FAR 15.404 prescribes the use of one or more of the following techniques
to perform price analysis:

[1. Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the
solicitation.]{.underline}

[2. Comparison of prior proposed prices and contract prices with current
proposed prices received for the same or similar end items.]{.underline}

[3. Comparison with competitive published price lists, published market
prices of commodities, similar indexes, and discount or rebate
arrangements.]{.underline}

[4. Comparison of proposed prices with Independent Cost
Estimates.]{.underline}

[5. Comparison of proposed prices with prices for the same or similar
items obtained through market research.]{.underline}

**[M.4.1.2]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[PRICE
REASONABLENESS]{.underline}**

[Each proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the Government
considers the proposed prices to be reasonable. The Government will
evaluate prices of all labor categories proposed.]{.underline}

[To accomplish this, the Government may employ one of the
following:]{.underline}

[- verify rates with the cognizant DCAA audit office of the
Offeror,]{.underline}

[- compare rates to equal or similar job categories on GSA schedule or
GWAC contracts]{.underline}

[- compare rates with the rates that the BOC is currently paying for
these services under on-going BOC contracts.]{.underline}

**[M.4.1.3]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[TOTAL EVALUATED
PRICE]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}**

[For price evaluation purposes only, the Government will assume that it
will purchase 100 hours of each skill category for each area purposed
for all five (5) potential contract years including the Project Director
and Task Manager. The yearly totals will be added together to get a
total contract evaluated cost. These assumptions in no way bind the
Government to exercise any option during the life of the contract and/or
order any amount of services during the life of the contract.
]{.underline}

[Hourly rates will be multiplied by the total hours. This amount will be
added for all categories and totaled by year. All yearly totals will
added for a total evaluated contract price. ]{.underline}

**[M.5]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[RISKS ATTRIBUTABLE TO
PRICE]{.underline}**

[1. Risks attributable to price are defined as any aspect of an
Offeror's proposal that could result in adverse performance under the
contract as a result of the prices proposed by the Offeror. Each
proposal will be assessed to identify risks attributable to the prices
proposed. Where price risk is assessed, it may be described in
quantitative terms or used as a best value discriminator. ]{.underline}

[2. The Government will reject as non‑responsive any proposal that is
materially unbalanced in terms of prices for basic and option‑year
quantities. An unbalanced proposal is one that incorporates prices
significantly less than cost for some items and/or prices that are
significantly overstated for other items.]{.underline}

**[M.6]{.underline}[ ]{.underline}[OTHER BUSINESS FACTORS]{.underline}**

[The information contained in each Offeror's Price and Other Business
Factors Proposal will be used to determine each Offeror's
responsibility, in accordance with FAR Part 9, and business capability
to perform. ]{.underline}**[The evaluation of Other Business Factors is
critical to the determination of responsibility; consequently, they will
be evaluated on a pass/fail basis.]{.underline}**[ The information
requested by Section L of this RFP, together with information that may
be available from Government agencies and from non‑Government
organizations will be considered in the evaluation of Other Business
factors. The following will be part of the evaluation:]{.underline}

[1. Financial Condition and Capability. The Offeror's current financial
status and other business information will be evaluated to determine if
the Offeror has the necessary tenacity, capacity, capability, and credit
to successfully perform this contract.]{.underline}

**M.7 [ORAL PRESENTATION]{.underline}**

The oral presentation will be used as part of the evaluation of all
those firms determined to be within the competitive range. The
Government may use the information and insights gained from the
Offeror's presentation and responses to questions concerning the oral
presentation to reassess the Offeror's strengths, weaknesses, and risks
associated with all evaluation factors. The oral presentation may result
in a higher or lower overall evaluation of the Offeror's technical
factors.
