About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Acquisition Services is seeking to procure services to conduct human subject tests and perform preliminary analysis of experimental data related to the testing of Knee-Saver Devices in Deep Squatting Tasks. The vendor must have highly specialized equipment and expertise in biomechanical analysis of deep squatting tasks associated with occupational activities to assist in the planning and modification of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) main project. The vendor will be required to update the testing protocol, conduct the human subject tests, perform preliminary data analysis, develop the data processing software, and summarize the results in a final report. The evaluation will focus on the vendor's qualifications and ability to meet the technical requirements.
This opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category. The estimated procurement amount is $24,000, and the place of performance is DeKalb, IL, USA. The proposed vendor, Ting Xia, Ph.D. from Northern Illinois University, is identified as the only source reasonably available to provide the required services. NIOSH will not receive any personally identifiable information or have direct contact with human research subjects, only the data from the testing.
