- SPECIALIZED DATABASE: The United States Government Accountability Office intends to procure on a sole source basis access to IMS Health's National Sales Perspective database as a data source for sales and volume drug-level data for sterile injectable drugs that is based on the actual prices that pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics pay. GAO is planning to conduct econometric and descriptive statistical analyses to examine the relationship between certain economic factors and shortages in the sterile injectable drug market. GAO intends to purchase quarterly data for the most recently available 72 months for sterile injectable drugs in the anti-infective and cardiovascular therapeutic classes. The team will use the acquired data to conduct descriptive statistical analysis and estimate an econometric model to examine the relationship between certain economic factors and shortages of sterile injectable drugs. The data will be used with proper citation in GAO audit documentation, reports, and other products. Information from the database used as evidentiary support for GAO statements and conclusions will be saved in GAO's document management system for a minimum of 7 years and must be accessible in a read-only format to an unlimited number of internal GAO reviewers and external peer reviewers. This is not a request for quotation. No contract will be award on the basis of offers received in response to this notice.
