- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), National Operations Division (NOD) Frames Maintenance Group (FMG) maintains a List Sampling Frame of farm operators and agri-businesses for the purpose of survey and census sampling. The NASS List Sampling Frame requires continuous regular maintenance and update to ensure full and accurate survey samples for the collection of data used to produce NASS reports. Maintaining a complete and accurate List Sampling Frame is critical to the production of the Census of Agriculture and Principal Federal Economic Indicator reports, which are Mission Essential Functions of the Agency. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)�� intends to issue a sole source contract to Infogroup, Inc for a robust and comprehensive database of U.S. household and business information that consists of current addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses and demographic information for the purpose of maintenance and update to the NASS List Frame. Confidentiality laws, and NASS List Frame maintenance systems and record linkage tools require the delivery of product in a flat file format for internal Agency use. This service is specific to one contractor. This service is not available through any other business. The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2018, Title III of Pub. L. No. 115-435, codified in 44 U.S.C. Ch. 35 prohibits NASS from providing List Sampling Frame data to outside sources. The Infogroup database subscription offers exported delivery of product in flat file format for NASS internal Agency use. Other commercial database subscription services require use of an outside database that would require individual record lookup for each update to remain CIPSEA compliant. NASS maintains a List Sampling Frame database of 5.2 million records. It is not feasible to perform individual record updates and record linkage processes using an outside database. The contractor shall perform the tasks and complete the associated deliverables as described in the Performance Work Statement.
