About this award
The Defense Human Resources Activity awarded a $512,236 firm fixed price delivery order to Robert D. Niehaus, Inc., a Santa Barbara-based economic consulting firm specializing in housing market research and federal data collection services. This delivery order, which is not set aside for small business, is scheduled for completion by August 26, 2026, and supports the government's objective to collect objective, available non-housing cost data for Continental United States (CONUS) and Overseas Continental United States (OCONUS) duty locations on an annual basis. The collected data will enable the Department of Defense to establish Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) rates for military personnel assigned to both domestic and overseas locations.
This award represents a delivery order under Robert D. Niehaus, Inc.'s existing $8.655 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Human Resources Activity, which runs through October 31, 2027, and focuses on Basic Allowance for Housing cost collection and data analysis services. The contractor's demonstrated expertise in housing market analysis, regional economic research, and military personnel cost data collection positions it as the prime contractor to deliver comprehensive economic data collection and analysis services that directly support the Defense Travel Management Office's administration of military housing allowances and COLA programs.
Description
