- Description
- The U.S. Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Dr. Ana Aizcorbe, 3524 Stafford Street, Arlington, VA 22206, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2) which states that "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for." The Census Bureau, BEA, intends to solicit and negotiate with Dr. Ana Aizcorbe for consultative and advisory services in support of the BEA Satellite Account for Health Care. Dr. Ana Aizcorbe will conduct and complete work on the following studies: - Historical Price Indexes for Medical Care Spending: 1980-2010; - Potential Changes to the Industry Account to Reflect the New Price Indexes for Medical Care Spending; - How can the new price indexes for medical care spending be incorporated into the GDP-by-Industry Account; and - Why do price indexes for medical care spending calculated using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) show faster price growth than those constructed using other data sources? Dr. Ana Aizcorbe has been identified as the only source that can provide the measure of expertise, independence, objectivity, and audience acceptance necessary to meet the program requirements of BEA. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement by 4:30 PM, EST, January 29, 2014 by email to donna.cornish@census.gov. A determination by the Census Bureau not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Census Bureau.
