- Description
- Under the Authority of Federal Acquisitions Regulation, Par 6, Subparts 6.301 and 6.302, The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) intends to contract with Thomson Reuters (Healthcare) Inc. on a sole source basis to provide access to a medical claims database (Marketscan). BEA believes that Thomson Reuters is the only source to provide the data needed based on the fact that MarketScan is the only database that provides claims-level data for the ten-year period beginning in 1998, in sufficient detail for our research needs, and the data is not available through other sources. Previous experience with other data basis allowed BEA to identify the MarketScan data as uniquely suited for BEA purposes. The period of performance for this order will consist of a base year and two option years. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit technical capabilities, pricing, and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the Census Bureau's needs. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to Lisa Safewright @ email address lisa.r.safewright@census.gov. This notice is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but offers will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received before the cutoff date of April 20, 2011 @ 3pm eastern time, a contract may be issued to Thomson Reuters (Healthcare)Inc. without further notice.
