- Description
- Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A)&(B), the Department of Commerce (DOC)/Enterprise Services intends to negotiate a sole source, firm fixed price follow on contract with IHSM Polk for “Motor Vehicle Registrations, Leasing, and Vehicles-in-operation data used in the estimation of U.S. Gross Domestic Product” at the estimated price of $716K. This procurement will provide motor vehicle registrations, leasing, and vehicles-in-operation data to the DOC Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). This data on auto and truck registrations by type of owner will be integrated into BEA’s existing estimate processes to breakout monthly estimates of new and used auto and light trucks into those owned by businesses, consumers, and the government. The motor vehicle data that IHSM Polk provides consistent time series of auto truck registrations, both monthly and annually. BEA needs this data to track personal consumption expenditure (PCE) of these goods, an important and rapidly changing sector of consumption. BEA publishes the Gross Domestic Product (GPD) which is a time series data based on the registration source data. Continuity is critical to the time series data associated with the motor vehicle registrations, leasing and vehicles-in-operations data. By using another data source other than IHSM Polk, a break in the time series and an inconsistency to the time series estimate of PCE would be created. The DOC/BEA prefers to maintain continuity of the proprietary motor vehicle registration data from IHSM Polk and therefore, would like to procure the time series PCE data from IHSM Polk. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (08-FEB-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
