The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), operating under the Department of the Interior’s Departmental Offices, has issued a Special Notice to update the contractor community regarding its Statistical Modernization Support (SMS) acquisition. This initiative is focused on advancing the BEA’s statistical capabilities through the modernization of its information technology systems, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the quality, efficiency, and reliability of the nation’s economic data infrastructure.
The procurement is being conducted under the General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), specifically within Category 54151S: Information Technology Professional Services. The acquisition process adheres to the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul (RFO) Subpart 8.4, which governs ordering under the Federal Supply Schedule, as well as the General Services Administration Acquisition Manual/Regulation (GSAM/R) 538.71, which details Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures. In accordance with GSAM/R 538.7103-3(a)(2), the opportunity was directly communicated to a select group of GSA MAS 54151S Small Business contractors who were identified as the most highly qualified based on responses to a prior Request for Information (RFI).
The scope of this procurement encompasses comprehensive computer systems design services, as indicated by the associated NAICS code 541512. Contractors are expected to provide advanced IT professional services that support the modernization of BEA’s statistical systems. The anticipated outcomes include the implementation of innovative solutions that will enable BEA to better collect, process, and disseminate economic data, thereby supporting its mission to provide timely and accurate economic statistics.
This notice is strictly informational and does not constitute a Request for Quote (RFQ). All contractors selected for this opportunity have already received the RFQ directly from the Government. At this stage, the Government is not soliciting or accepting additional quotes, and any unsolicited submissions will not be evaluated. The award will be made to the offeror who presents the best value to the Government, as determined through the competitive process among the pre-selected small business contractors.
The procurement is managed by the IBC Acquisition Services Directorate (00004), a federal office within the Department of the Interior. The primary point of contact for this acquisition is Russell Pfeiffer, who can be reached at [email protected] or by phone at 703-464-3600.
Contractors interested in future opportunities or seeking additional information should refer to the official notice on SAM.gov (Opportunity ID: 0270ff5d24cf4ce58d7c60c600a5b7d1) at https://sam.gov/opp/0270ff5d24cf4ce58d7c60c600a5b7d1/view. It is important to note that this procurement is set aside for small businesses under the GSA MAS 54151S category, and only those contractors previously identified as highly qualified were invited to participate.
In summary, this acquisition represents a significant effort by the BEA to modernize its statistical systems through the engagement of highly qualified small business IT service providers, leveraging the streamlined procedures of the GSA MAS. The focus remains on delivering best-value solutions that will have a lasting impact on the nation’s economic data infrastructure.
