The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $240,000 firm-fixed-price purchase order to the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Research and Sponsored Programs division to provide membership in the Wisconsin National Data Consortium (WiNDC). This sole-source award was made to support the EPA's Office of the Administrator, Office of Policy, National Center for Environmental Economics in developing open-source multi-sector economic datasets and models suitable for analyzing energy-environment-economic issues. The University of Wisconsin-Madison was determined to be uniquely qualified to fulfill the EPA's requirements. This award does not have a set-aside designation.
