- Description
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Office of Productivity and Technology (OPT) intends to award a sole source contract to the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc. (NBER). 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: Scope: The BLS intends to renew its institutional membership with NBER's Conference on Research in Income and Wealth (CRIW) via a follow-on contract. The base period of performance is anticipated to be Aug 31, 2015 through August 30, 2016. The BLS also intends to include four (4) one-year option periods in the follow-on contract. Membership in the CRIW entitles the BLS to receive conference volumes at no additional charge. In addition, the Office of Productivity and Technology is invited to attend all CRIW conferences and receive advance copies of conference papers. Currently, there is only one responsible source and no other to supply the subscription on the research on income and wealth data. 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, by 12:00 pm EDT by August 10, 2015 that provides sufficient details for consideration by the Government, via e-mail transmittal, to liu.jason@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 Jason Liu, Contract Specialist, at liu.jason@bls.gov and Jeff Auser, Contracting Officer, at auser.jeff@bls.gov.
