NUREG-1507 revision — scan minimum detectable concentration for continuously collected data

Authored statistical methodology content for the Section 9 revision, working in multi-author tracked-change review alongside NRC and contractor reviewers. Derivation of critical levels and detection limits under generalized midpoint, moving-average and exponentially weighted moving-average lag-k differencing; experimental designs accommodating environmental variability, validated against field studies; bootstrap bias and precision assessment. Coordination with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory toward integration into the Visual Sample Plan (VSP) software.

Common questions

Does MRP Group hold a GSA Schedule, and at what rate?

Yes. GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QRAA25D000P under Special Item Numbers 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific & Technical Services) and 54151S (IT Professional Services). The awarded labor category is Statistician (Ph.D., 10 years) at $154.50 per hour, inclusive of the Industrial Funding Fee. Because the category is already awarded and priced, a prime can include MRP Group in a schedule-based quote without a rate crosswalk or separate negotiation.

How quickly can MRP Group be added to a proposal?

The GSA labor category is already awarded and priced, so there is no rate crosswalk, justification memo or negotiation. What a prime typically needs — resume, past performance, rate, UEI, CAGE, cybersecurity status — is on this page or available the same day.

Has MRP Group held prime federal contracts?

No. All federal past performance is as a subcontractor to prime contractors — SC&A, ANSER, Vinformatix and Evidence Impact Labs. Federal spending databases show no prime obligations, and the firm makes no claim to any. MRP Group works as a named statistical subcontractor on a prime's team.

What federal agencies has MRP Group supported?

Under federal contracts, through prime contractors: the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Health Resources & Services Administration, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the State of Connecticut Insurance Department. Work spans detection limits and radiological survey design, environmental monitoring frameworks, health services research, defense forensic statistics, and Medicare Advantage claims analysis.

Separately, and under a grant rather than a contract, the principal is Co-Investigator and trial statistician on an NIH-funded Phase 2 vaccine trial. Grant-funded research roles are listed under federally funded research below; they are not federal contract past performance and are not presented as such.

Does MRP Group hold a security clearance?

A Secret clearance was held while supporting the Defense Forensic Science Center as a subcontractor to Analytic Services Inc. (ANSER), October 2021 to April 2023. The principal is also a certified Associate Investigator. Eligibility and access are separate things: access ends with the sponsoring engagement, while a favorable eligibility determination continues in the Defense Information System for Security on its own schedule. Current eligibility status is confirmed on request, with documentation from the sponsoring facility security officer.

What is MRP Group's CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 status?

A Final CMMC Level 1 Self-Assessment is recorded in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), assessment scope ENCLAVE, alongside a NIST SP 800-171 Basic Assessment with a score of 95.

Level 1 covers the fifteen basic safeguarding requirements in FAR 52.204-21 for Federal Contract Information. It is assessed by the contractor itself, submitted to SPRS with an executive affirmation, and renewed annually. It is not a certification — only Level 2 assessments by a C3PAO and Level 3 by DIBCAC produce certificates, and none is claimed here.
