The Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ) is currently 
seeking information on the possibility of  re-programming the 
Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) instrument, currently in a 
DOS operating system, into a Windows operating system.  Responses 
are welcome from and open to any member of an agency or organization 
who could directly or indirectly support this effort.  Responses are 
also welcome from the general public.

This Request for Information (RFI) is for planning purposes only.  
Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the 
Government to form a binding contract.  The AHRQ intends to issue a 
subsequent solicitation for the purpose of reprogramming the MEPS 
Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) instrument.  CAPI is 
a software program that allows for the administration of the MEPS 
interview on a laptop computer.  

The RFI describes the background of the MEPS and its current 
computerized interview schedule.  Your input is invited for 
information purposes in the areas of systems design and selection, 
promoting industry competition, time frames for feasible completion 
and the overall concept of the design.  Specific questions and 
instructions for responding are provided in the RFI, which is 
available at the following URL: http://www.ahrq.gov/data/mepsix.htm
