- Description
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) intends to award a sole source contract to the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) for access to NISS affiliates and research reports. The anticipated period of performance consists of one base year and two option years. The statutory authority permitting the acquisition of this requirement is FAR Part 13.106(b). The following is a synopsis and explanation for this BLS requirement: The BLS needs access to senior researchers in many areas of statistical science, computer science, psychometrics, and economics, in order to research and develop new approaches for improving the agency's surveys and estimates. The NISS facilitates high-impact research on topics of interest to the BLS, such as the analysis of geospatial data, disclosure limitation, and record linkage. The NISS is a unique consortium and is the sole provider of access to this type of research and information dissemination. This is a sole source notice of intent published for informational purposes only, 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/prices, by 12:00 pm ET by June 16, 2016, that provides sufficient details for consideration by the Government, via e-mail, to Jason Liu, Contract Specialist, at liu.jason@bls.gov and Jeff Auser, Contracting Officer, at auser.jeff@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 to liu.jason@bls.gov and auser.jeff@bls.gov.
