- Description
- The Agriculture Research Services seeking the purchase of agrochemical and seed data for 2014 for 46 countries. The 2014 data, which includes pesticides data on major crops in the United States from reputable survey sources, would allow us to satisfactorily move our pesticide data for the productivity accounts forward (taking advantage also of available comparable quality data from NASS and USGS) in the absence of Doane (now Gfk) pesticides data. The data would also be used in ongoing work on analysis of trends in international pesticide use and analysis of drivers of such pesticide use, and on work on international competitiveness, incorporating pesticide use as a factor of production. The contractor must provide data on crop protection (pesticides) and seed. The pesticides data set includes information on: 1) product or brand of pesticide by area treated, sales, and quantity used; 2) active ingredient by area treated, sales, and quantity used; and on manufactures, by area treated and product sales. The pesticide data set covers 14 crops; cereals, corn, rice, soybeans, oilseed rape, sunflower, cotton, sugarcane, sugar beet, pome fruit, potatoes, vine, other fruit &vegetables, and other crops. The 46 countries covered include, along with the United States, all major crop producers in the world. For example, the data set would provide information on pesticide use by type of pesticide-- herbicide, insecticide, or fungicide-- by corn producers in the United States, and for Argentina, China, and France and all major producers of corn in the world. And, it would provide use on GM (genetically modified seed use by source) seed used in corn production in these countries. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested. The resultant purchase order will be firm fixed price with a period of performance of 12 months. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541690.
