- Description
- On behalf of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, TASC Acquisition Services intends to award a purchase order to Global Insight of Washington, DC on the basis of other than full and open competition. Global Insight is the only known source that will meet the needs of the agency for Economic, Freight Car and Commercial Truck Services because of the following reasons: The service provides a review of the prospects for economic activity in North America including the key macroeconomic influences that affect demand. The underlying economic assumptions that drive the forecasts in the Global Insight's Freight Car and Commercial Truck Services are those utilized for other major work in the Department of Transportation, including the Multi-Modal Freight Analysis Framework Study conducted by Federal Highway Administration. This service from Global Insight also contains significant information needed by the staff of FRA related to projections of major commodity haulings and intermodal traffic for U.S. and Canadian railroads over a five-year forecast interval. Thus, from a policy perspective, Bureau of Transportation Statistics? analysis is more credible because of the consistency with regard to general economic assumptions used throughout the Department. This is not a solicitation. Feedback may be submitted to the point of contact indicated above.
