Your response to the information requested will assist the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in planning the appropriate acquisition strategy.

DMSP has been tasked with converting the TSP estimation subsystems to a SAS platform. DMSP staff are developing the enterprise architecture and carrying out the requirements, IT development, and testing-given the requirement that staff perform in-house modifications to incorporate revisions to source data under extremely tight timelines. As economists, DMSP staff is expected to create and maintain software programs, but only a few staff members have advanced programming experience in SAS. DMSP staff has received training in SAS and individual staff members are working on different aspects of the SAS software conversion. DMSP is requesting contractor resources to coach staff in the design, development, and implementation of the SAS enterprise architecture for estimating major sector productivity. Hired resources will be a SAS expert(s) who will provide expert advice and guidance in a SAS development environment and who will provide coaching to DMSP staff both on site and virtually on a periodic basis.
