- Description
- Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b), the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) intends to issue a sole source purchase order to The Nielsen Company (US), LLC (Nielsen) for monthly U.S. music sales data needed to calculate BEA's Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) for prerecorded discs, tapes, and digital downloads estimate (RTD) used in the Gross Domestic Product statistics. The data provided by Nielsen is in both digital and physical sales formats with the following breakout: • Physical album sales, configuration breakout: CD, DVD, LP and cassette • Digital album sales • Physical single sales, configuration breakout: CD, DVD, LP and cassette • Digital single sales BEA requires the above breakout because the specific product details provided by Nielsen closely match BEA's estimate of PCE for Audio discs, tapes, vinyl, and permanent digital downloads and provide a monthly time series necessary for PCE to produce those estimates. Using this data allows for consistency in the PCE, and ultimately GDP estimates, and ensures BEA is accurately measuring that portion of the economy and consumer spending.
