Admininstration of Three Survey Instruments in Honduras

The University of Colorado's Institute of Behavioral Science awarded a contract to Asesores Nacionales Especializados para el Desarrollo (ANED) to administer three survey instruments in Honduras as part of a study evaluating local health systems and decentralization reforms. The surveys include a household questionnaire targeting 9,000 households, a health personnel questionnaire for 660 individuals across 220 health centers, and a community questionnaire for 840 organizations in 70 municipalities across 16 states in Honduras (excluding the Bay Islands and Gracias a Dios region). The surveys are face-to-face interviews with average durations of 60 minutes for households and 35 minutes for health personnel and community organizations. ANED is responsible for fieldwork management including recruitment, training, equipment acquisition, survey administration, tablet use, and delivering a clean, documented digital database to the University. The contract emphasizes high-quality, reliable data collection and timely delivery. The University of Colorado is the buyer, with David Turner as the contact. The contract includes detailed evaluation criteria focusing on experience with large surveys, interviewer training, staffing, response rates, and data management. The period of performance spans from September 2015 to April 2016. No specific part numbers or purchase quantities beyond survey respondent counts are provided. The contract requires adherence to University procurement rules and supplier responsibility standards.
