About this IDV

The U.S. Census Bureau, a civilian federal agency, awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Research Triangle Institute (RTI International), a non-profit research organization, to provide a range of research and advisory services. Under this BPA, the Census Bureau has issued several task orders to RTI, including $1.9 million for exploratory qualitative research, cognitive interviews, and usability testing for the Current Population Survey (CPS) and Annual Social and Economic Supplement; $469,145 for cognitive interviews related to the American Community Survey's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) questions; and $261,175 to assess public attitudes towards proposed administrative data uses for the 2030 Census. The BPA was awarded under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. RTI has subcontracted portions of the work to other research firms with specialized expertise. This BPA enables the Census Bureau to efficiently procure RTI's technical and advisory services to support the agency's data collection, evaluation, and public engagement initiatives.

The overarching Professional Services Schedule (PSS) solicitation under which this BPA was awarded provides a comprehensive contract vehicle for federal agencies to procure a wide range of professional services, including business consulting, program support, financial, environmental, engineering, advertising, logistics, and language services. The PSS allows for streamlined procurement of total professional service solutions from experienced contractors like RTI International, which has a long history of delivering diverse research, evaluation, and implementation support to multiple government agencies.
