- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and Economic Research Services (ERS) intends to award a sole source contract to MBK Analytics, LLC located in Albuquerque, NM. The service support is for ongoing statistical expertise, analyses, and reporting on policy and workforce modeling using restricted-use databases on science and engineering degrees and occupations. The restricted-use databases include the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Survey of Earned Doctorates - Doctorate Records File (DFR), the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR), corresponding liked SDR-DRF datasets, and the National Survey of College Graduates. MBK Analytics, LLC will work interactively with researchers at the Economic Research Service (ERS) to define the relevant population of agricultural scientists and engineers based on the available data, prepare descriptive statistics, help identify background academic and policy studies, undertake advanced econometric modeling to test emerging hypotheses, and prepare oral and written presentations of the findings. The service must come from MBK Analytics, LLC because the work is a continuation of existing work performed by this firm and they currently have the staff with the proper license to use the databases noted above. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotations or proposals. No solicitation is available. Firms that believe they can provide this service are encouraged to identify themselves and provide a substantive statement with descriptive literature and any other supporting information to the Contract Specialist within 10 days of publication of this notice. All information received within 10 days of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government to determine if more than one firm can meet the Government's requirements and is capable of performing the intended task(s). All responses must be in writing and emailed to erik.young@ars.usda.gov.
