- Under the Authority of Federal Acquisitions Regulation, Part 6, Subparts 6.301 and 6.302, The U.S. Census Bureau, on behlaf of Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), intends to contract with The NPD Group, Inc., on a sole source basis for Electronic Scanner Data, specifically for the digital and sharing economy, such as sales information on smartphones, ride-sharing services, and streaming activity. BEA needs the data in order to track this rapidly changing sector and update product sale allocations in a more timely manner. The data must come from a large, consistent, representative sample of retailers accross the United States. BEA also needs the data to reflect purchases or subscriptions made both online and in store. NPD's combination of Point of Sale Data, consumer surveys, receipt harvesting and overall retial tracking is well designed to provide the best possible estimates of retailers, both online and in store. The period of performance for this requirement is April 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017. BEA believes that The NPD Group, Inc., is the only responsible source that can provide the services as needed by BEA. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing ebidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov), and submit detailed technical capabilities, pricing and other information (including DUNS# and Cage Code) that demonstrates their ability to meet BEA's needs, to lisa.r.safewright@census.gov. This synopsis is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No solicitation document is available and all questions must be submitted via email to Ms. Safewright, referencing the Solicitation number in the subject line. 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 within seven (7) days from the publication of this synopsis, a contract may be issued to The NPD Group, Inc. without further notice.
