This announcement is not a formal solicitation. Availability of any formal solicitation will be announced separately. This synopsis is for planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation. The U.S. Customs Service (Customs) is seeking to identify responsible sources capable of providing a data base consisting of United States (US) real properties including but not limited to the parcel identification, property address, owners names, owners addresses, owners phone numbers, property description information, tax, sale and mortgage data. Property ownership data shall originate from official real property tax records, deed transfers, or other responsible sources collected by the vendor from the states, municipalities, and counties. Data should cover the entire U.S. Real property data must be provided in a single common format. Real property tax roll data must be provided at least once per year. Deed transfers shall be provided monthly. The vendor provided data shall be guaranteed for accuracy and comprehensiveness. The vendor shall ensure real property records are provided as received from the states, municipalities, or counties without exclusion of property records or alteration of critical data elements (except for rearranging the data into a single standardized format for delivery to Customs). The vendor shall deliver the data via magnetic tapes or peer-to-peer bulk file wire transmission. The vendor agrees to grant permission for Customs to load the delivered property data onto the Customs mainframe computer located at the Customs National Data Center in Springfield, Virginia, which houses the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS). Property data access is restricted and limited to users of the TECS application only. Firms responding should indicate whether they are an 8(a) firm or small business. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set aside, or 8(a) set aside based upon request hereto. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. See note numbered 25. (0327)
