MMG has provided marketing, media, and public information services to government, non-profit, and
commercial clients since 1987. We have extensive experience in performing the types of tasks anticipated
under this RFP. We know that this national, complex social marketing and public education effort for NCI will
require multiple ongoing tasks, as well as broad-based expertise to meet program goals. We have based our
goals for srnall business subcontracting for NCl's communications efforts both on the types of tasks
anticipated and our assessment of the firms available to perform those tasks. Our assessment comes from
our years of experience and knowing the field of health communications and marketing, researching lists of
firms from the SBA and other sources, attending conferences, and contacting trade associations. We know,
for example, that there are a number of small businesses and SDBs with expertise in all aspects of marketing
strategic planning and research, and we intend to pursue vigorously those opportunities upon contract award.
In addition, as noted on this form, our current goals for HUBZone and veteran-owned small businesses,
represent a small percentage of the total srnall business subcontract dollar amount; however, we are firmly
committed to pursuing those oportunities as well.

MMG based total cost allocations, including indirect costs, for each catagory of small business on the type of
work anticipated under this contract. Our estimates are based on our current indirect rates, but we would
expect costs to fluctuate slightly based on rate changes over the next 5 years.

 Ln more specific terms, one important area is qualitative market~esearchneeded to develop a thorough
understanding of NCI's target audiences. As needed to s u p p l e r n e ~ ~ e s t a tefforts,
1s MMG will tun^ to companies
with capabilities for discrete, short-term projects with demanding deadlines. Two such companies are Systems
Assessment and Research, Inc., and Marketing Resources International, both African American, women-owned, 8(a)
certified f i ,to perform this social research and evaluation.

In addition, as part of our videotape and film production services we typically subcontract the actual filming and
editing servic.e~tovarious small businesses who specialize in this type of freelance work We also have routinely
subcontracted discrete writing and translation assignments on &ort notice.

Basedmaur understandiagofihe requirements of this procurement and our hstorical subcontracting practices, we
h o w that with the appropriate tasks we will be able to subcontract at least 9 percent (9%) of our contract to small,
small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses. As a former small, woman-owned business ourselves
(under certain SIC codes), we understand the strength and expertise that these small, highly professional firms,

The goal of 5 A Day For ~ e t t e Health
r Program is to increase Americans' consumption

Founded in 1991 as a partnership between NCI and the Produce for Better Health
Foundation, the Program has become the largest publiclprivate partnership for nutrition.
Its strength comes from the,cornbined efforts and resources of its many partners,
including federal agencies, private industry, state health/agriculture/education agencies,
voluntary health organizations, professional organizations, and non-profit community
and advocacy organizations. In 2002 the National 5 A Day Partnership was established
with leadership provided by fa Steering Committee including:

Results of the ~ro~ram's'effortswere initially encouraging but have recently plateaued.

The percent of adults who 'know they should eat 5 or more servings of F N a day
increased almost fivefold'(Q% to 36%) between 1991 and 1997, but has remained the
same since 1997. Consequently, 60% of adults are still not aware that they should eat 5
to 9 servings of F N a day €or good health. -

I . -
Average consumption of F& increased-from4.1 to 4.6 servings a day for adults and
-
from 3.4 to 3.9 for children:between 1991 and 1997. Although average consumption of-'
Fm increased about % a serving, it is estimated that approximately 70% of children and
adults still do not eat the binimum number of 5 servings of F N a day.

5 A day communications efforts for the past 10 years have primarily targeted women
eating 2-3 servings of F N a day who are interested in eating more. Media coverage of 5
A Day has been extensive in the mainstream print media. But, broadcast, media
relations, magazines, special events, and partnerships have not been fully utilized. To
increase public awareness of the 5 A Day message and motivate adults to eat more
FN, communication strategies must target and reach diverse audiences.

Because African American men have disproportionately high rates of cancer, diabetes,
heart disease, and hypertension, compared to other population groups, NCI will conduct
targeted 5 A Day commujieations to this group initially. Less than 14% of African
Americans are aware of the 5 A Day recommendations and F N intake is lower for this
group than in the general'abult population. A major national health objective as stated
. in Healthv People B 1 0 is to ieduce health disparities. By targeting African American ----
.
- -
men with 5 A Day, NCI is committed to accomplishing the goal of reduced health
disparities. NCI may initially reach out to key influentials in the African America
community through possible participation at the National Association of Black
Journalists Convention analthe,
Congressional Black Caucus.

In 2000, NCI evaluated 5 ~ ( ? a efforts

y to date. The evaluation report provides
recommendations for expanding and strengthening the program including its
communications efforts. In $001, A 5 A Day For Better Health Program monograph,
summarizing the first 10 years of the Program was published. Both documents are
available on www.5adav.qov.

The campaign should increase awareness among the general adult population and
African American men agbs 35-50 that eating 5 to 9 servings of FN a day is important
- -
to good health and will decrease risk of chronic disease and motivate them to eat 5 to 9:
servings of FA/ a day. The Campaign should be implemented nationally, in regional
areas selected as part of the campaign planning process, and in partnership with
selected organizations. It should employ state-of-the-art communications, behavior
change, and social marketing techniques and a variety of communicati~channels.

L
I I

'I
The primary purpose of the Public Health Service (PHs) is to support and advance independent
research within the scientific community. This support is provided in the form of contracts and grants
totaling approximately 7 billion dollars annually. PHs has established effective, time tested and well
recognized procedures for stimulating and supporting this independent research by selecting from
multitudes of applications those research projects most worthy of support within the constraints of its
appropriations. The reimbursement through the indirect cost mechanism of independent research
and development costs not incidental to product improvement would circumvent this competitive
process.

Page 2 1
 NCI Confract No. N02-CO-27 786

To ensure thatall research and deve~d~rnent projects receive similar and equal consideration, all
organizations may compete for direct funding of independent research and development projects
they consrcfer wcrrthy of support by sub'mitting those projects to the appropriate Public Health Service
grant office for review. Since these projects may be submitted for direct funding, the Contractor
agrees that no costs for any independent research and development project, including all applicable
indirect costs, will be claimed under this contract.

n
Using the above NIH local travel area definition, under the Conference Planning regulations, unless over 51% of the Federal
employees in attendance'are on TDY travel, the use of appropriated funds for the provision of light refreshments may not
be authorized. However, when certain parameters are met, you may authorize the use of sift - fuqds for the provision of

 STATEMENT OF WORK

A. Background Information
The Media Relations Branch-requires a program that can track and analyze media
coverage of cancer-related topics. The program would enable the branch to
_q~y~tit~zively and graphically show the number of articles, the subject of the articles,
the market in wlich the articles appeared, and the trend of cancer coverage in the
media, among other means of analysis. In addition, and very importantly, the
program would allow the branch to read any of the articles that are included in the
media anilysis. The program also would allow retrospective analysis of media
coverage and the ability to refine the list of articles included in the media analysis.
This analytics program must be user fiiendly and flexible.

This requirement evolved initially from an inquiry from NCI Director Dr. Andrew
von Eschenbach, who was curious as to whether the amount of ciincer coverage had
increased in recent montlx. This request and curiosity led to the Office of
Communication's desire to formally, consistently, and efficiently monitor and
analyze media coverage of all cancer-related topics. The Media Relations Branch has
its database of press calls (through Vocus) and its news clips &om the newspaper
every day (through Lexis), but in both cases the branch is lacking the ability to
analyze those products. The 1971 Cancer Act included a mandate that NCI
communicate the latest cancer-related information to the public; a program to analyze
the media coverage of cancer-related information is necessary to understand whether
our messages are indeed being communicated to the public through vital media -:---
channels.

The Media Relations Branch now records its press calls in the Vocus database, which
also Inks to the Vocus database of reporters' contact and background information, as
well as the Vocus record of ongoing "projects" in which the branch is involved. The
branch would like to link these capabilities to resuIting news coverage - and analysis
of that news coverage.

B. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROCUREMENT

The Vocus Advanced Analytics program will allow NCI to analyze its media-related
activities and media coverage, including analysis of media coverage in specific media
markets, of specific topics, during specific time periods, and of specific
spokespersons. The also willallow the Media Relations Branch to link press
calls to media projects to press contact information to resulting news coverage.

I-- C. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

7 days a week. In addition, customer support will be available throughout the
work day.
-
Allow NCI to createanalyze and create graphical analyses of NCI's media-
related activities and media lists.
- - -- --Allow N€I-to analyze and create graphical analyses of cancer-related and

 Statement of Work I
A. Background Information -

The NCI Mass Media Branch, also known as the Press Office, assists the news media by
priffidiKg3ackgroiind materials and interviews with scientists. The staff of the office are
themselves reporters who write feature articles, news releases and the background
materials they send out to the news media and post to the NCI Web site. The office
maintains a database of media c3ntacts, and distributes institute media materids via e-
mail and fax to specialized lists of news media with an interest in cancer. The office also
keeps a detailed, searchable database of what requests are received from the media and
how they are resolved. These media lists and press call records are currently stored on
Vocus Public Relations 3.0, which allows up to five Press Office staff members
simultaneouslyto access these Web-based records. These lists and records have been
used and stored on Vocus since 2000.

B.Purpose and Objectives of the Procurement .. -

The Mass Media Branch has a requirement for a state-of-the-art system that allows the
branch to prepare customized media lists from a broad, nationwide media database that is
rigorously updated and maintained; to distribute materials to these lists easily and
efficiently via e-mail or fax; and to record press activity in a searchable, printable
database. A system with these features allows the press office to maintain its strong, vital-
relationships with science reporters and editors.

C. Contractor Requirements

The successful contractor will provide a real-time, internet-based database that allows
individual staff to input media contacts, automatically flag media follow-up based on
notes by the staff, and distribute press materials from the institute via e-mail and fax to
not only institute media contacts, but allow for customized distribution fmm a large,
general body of media contacts that is maintained by the contractor. Available reports
should include a summary of documents e-mailed or faxed, nondelivery and recontact
information. The system must allow the user to create specialized minority media lists,
including Black, HispdcJIative American, and Asian American and Pacific Islanders -.--
who will receive this information via e-mail or fax from the institute via the contractor, as - -
- . -
well asbther ways to characterize media, e.g., consumer magazine, radio, television,
cable, internet, audience, frequency, and subject matter.
- --

The system also must provide a way to record requests from the media, be compatible
with current press records that are stored on Vocus 3.0, and to link that information to the
database of media contacts and outlets.

All the data must be integrated into an easy-to-use database that is accessed via the
internet by .NCIstaff. Service must be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
 Telephone customer support must be available during regular weekday working hours
(8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.), and the contractor will provide all needed NCI staff training.

Period of performance is September 1,2004, threugh August 31,2005, with an option to

extend the contract for an-additional year.

statement of work, the government will pay for the service in one full payment.

E. Report Requirements and Deliverables

The service must be Web-accessible 24hours a day, seven days a week, and must allow
NCI Press Office staff to generate media lists, distribute information to media targets,
review and revise media lists, and record and review media interactions. Contact
information in thp database must be updated weekly by the contractor. Press Office staff
