The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Industrial Economics Inc. (IEC), a for-profit environmental consulting firm, to provide economic research and analytical support services. The BPA, valued at up to $1 million, is issued under IEC's existing Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract with the General Services Administration. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
Under this BPA, IEC is delivering a range of specialized services to the CPSC, including economic analysis, policy analysis, scientific assessments, and regulatory impact modeling to support the agency's consumer product safety mission. Task orders issued to date cover research on the markets for ATVs, bicycles/accessories, and aerosol dusters, as well as evaluations of the CPSC's past regulatory cost-benefit analyses. The work is being performed at IEC's Bethesda, Maryland facility over one to two-year periods of performance, with fixed-price task order values ranging from $15,000 to $128,000. These contracted services are helping the CPSC gather data, develop analytical models, and inform its ongoing development and evaluation of consumer product safety standards and regulations.
