- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The US Department of Labor, Bureau Of Labor Statistics intends to award a sole source contract to Insurance Services Office, Inc, 545 Washington Boulevard, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07310. The statutory authority permitting the acquisition of this requirement by other than full and open competition is 41 USC 254©(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. The Bureau of Labor Statistics intends to purchase Symbol group data from Insurance Services Office, Inc. Insurance Services Office Inc. provides symbol groups and their associated risks factors for automobiles included in the Producer Price Index for private passenger auto insurance and in the Consumer Price Index for motor vehicle insurance. The data from ISO will be used to quality adjust changes in premiums due to changes in the symbol group for autos included in the Producer Price Index for private passenger auto insurance and in the Consumer Price Index for Motor Vehicle insurance. Insurance Services Office, Inc. generates symbol group data for the use of auto insurance companies. No other organizations produce this data. Although insurance companies in our sample purchase this same data, they cannot determine the change in risk as autos move from one symbol group to another, which is the information that we need for quality adjustment. Without this data, PPI cannot accurately reflect price change for automobile insurance. Insurance Service Office Inc. is the only organization that produces this data. The anticipated period of performance is 08/31/2013 - 08/30/2014. This is a sole source notice published for informational purposes only and not a request for proposals. Therefore, no solicitation documents exist for this requirement. However, all responsible parties interested in responding to this notice are invited to submit a capability statement including costs by 12:00pm EST by August 1, 2013 that provides sufficient details for consideration by the Government, via e-mail transmittal to gantt.joan@bls.gov. The determination not to compete the contract based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All questions or comments regarding this notice shall be addressed in writing Joan Gantt, Contract Specialist at gantt.joan@bls.gov.
