INTERNET PANELS STUDIES ON CHRONIC DISEASE

QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

June 10, 2020 Answers in blue:

QUESTION 1.

1. In order to provide accurate pricing, do you have any insight into which ten states will be selected? It will be cheaper to collect data in larger, more populous states than smaller, less dense, so any insight would be very helpful! We haven’t yet selected states.

1. The RFP says three surveys will be conducted.

1. Will this be in 2020, 2021, and 2022 or within a different time frame? Within 2021-2022.

If so, what?

0. Will the same 10 states be targeted each iteration? Not necessarily.

If so, do you want the same people targeted? Probably not, as we are thinking of cross-sectional surveys rather than longitudinal.

QUESTION 2.

I am inquiring about the Internet Panels Studies on Chronic Disease pre-solicitation. Is the contract office open to considering sole-sourcing this to an SDVOSB? Interested parties should submit their RFQ through the online portal.

QUESTION 3.

The posting of the pre-solicitation notice identified above indicates that the government expects a response by June 12. I’m sure I’m overlooking something, but it’s not clear to me from RFI document what sort of response would be appropriate. Could you advise me? We certainly have the capacity to do this work and are interested in this procurement. Thank you. You would need to send in NORC’s Request for Quote based on the RFQ that is attached in BetaSams.

QUESTION 4.

We’re preparing to respond to the subject line presolicitation. Are you expecting for us to provide a full technical and price quote by year or per State survey? The quote should based on the year, which would cover the period of performance of 07/01/2020 – 06/30/2021.
