1. INTRODUCTION
This publication contains a list of federal procurement
invitations and contract awards for noise research and development
services for the 1976 fiscal year. This is the first issue on a
quarterly basis for Noise R&D and will contain information excerpted
from issues of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Commerce
Business Daily.
An executive summary is provided. The information in
Noise R&D has been broken into months and by research categories
for the reader's convenience. These categories include the research
categories used by EPA in the Report on Status and Progress of
Noise Research and Control Programs in the Federal Government.
Each announcement from the CBD has been assigned a
reference number. A cumulative index of reference numbers to
procurements and awards, and a cumulative bar graph of contract
value by research categories and federal agencies, are presented
for the current fiscal year and the prior 1975 and 1974 fiscal years.
Announcements of contract awards and procurement
invitations are extracted from CBD if they relate to noise, acoustics,
or sound. If the relevance of an item is questionable, but a possible
application to the noise program can be explained, then the announce-
ment will be included under miscellaneous.
Announcements on the Navy's underwater research,
sonar or warfare, are generally excluded, but if it can be ascertained
they are relevant to other listed research categories, they may be
included.
