Statement of Work
Statement of Work for New Vehicle Purchase Data
1. Objectives. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has an ongoing interest in data on real-time individual detailed transaction data for both new and used vehicles sold in the U.S. The data will be evaluated by BLS staff in order to aid in improving and estimating price indexes. BLS, its employees, agents, and partner statistical agencies, will use the information you provide for statistical purposes only and will hold the information in confidence to the full extent permitted by law. In accordance with the Confidential Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (Title 5 of Public Law 107-347) and other applicable Federal laws, your responses will not be disclosed in identifiable form without your informed consent.
BLS seeks to purchase historical monthly new vehicle data from September 2016 – August 2017 as base line item at the time of the contract award. BLS may, at its discretion, exercise option period 1 to purchase current monthly new vehicle data deliveries for one additional year.
2. Background. The BLS is the principle Federal agency responsible for measuring price changes in the economy.
Because of the importance of the BLS data, it is critical that the price indexes are accurate, timely and relevant. To ensure the accuracy and relevance, the BLS periodically examines the results of the surveys in order to benchmark processes and products and to improve index methodology and surveys. The data requested in this Statement of Work will be evaluated and potentially used as an aid in improving and estimating price indexes.
The BLS intends to utilize the timely and actual new vehicle individual transaction price data to improve the published new vehicle indexes. BLS has purchased over nine years of new vehicle data that have been used for development of index construction, evaluation of timeliness, processing and research. BLS intends to use the new vehicle data for future publication in its indexes
Historically, it has been a challenge to price and measure new vehicles. The BLS would utilize the monthly detail data supplied by a private sector vendor. This data shall detail data supplies “actual prices” paid from different areas of the country consisting of minimally 250,000 vehicle transactions per month. The final goal is to successfully incorporate abundant and timely price data to improve accuracy of the published new vehicle index.
3. Scope.
Part 1 (Base line item):
a. New vehicle data from September 2016 – August 2017.
b. The contract requires historical new vehicle transaction data beginning with September 1, 2016 up until the start of the contract period of performance.
c. A typical month shall contain minimally 250,000 individual new vehicle actual transactions. Each vehicle transaction shall contain 41 variables.
Part 2: At the discretion of the BLS, an additional year of current new vehicle data may be purchased. BLS is not obligated but may purchase the following:
a. New vehicle data from September 2017 – August 2018.
b. Upon the start of Part 2, if exercised, current monthly new vehicle transaction data shall be delivered. The current monthly new vehicle data shall be delivered in a two-step delivery procedure per pricing month: The first delivery the last week of the current month and the delivery will include all the data to that date. The second delivery will accrue within the first week of the following month and it will include the entire month of new vehicle transactions.
c. A typical month shall contain minimally 250,000 individual new vehicle actual transactions. Each vehicle transaction shall contain 41 variables.
4. Description of Tasks.

DOL 2012-01 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CLAUSE - OCI-1 EXCLUSION FROM
FUTURE AGENCY CONTRACTS (DECEMBER 2012)
ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
OCI-1 Exclusion from Future Agency Contracts (DECEMBER 2012)
This clause supplements the FAR provisions on organizational conflicts of interest, located at FAR subpart 9.500 and should be read in conjunction with these provisions. To the extent there is any inconsistency or confusion between the two provisions, the FAR provision controls.
(a) Work under this contract may create a future organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that could prohibit the Contractor from competing for, or being awarded, future Government contracts.
The following examples illustrate situations in which organizational conflicts of interest may arise. They are not all inclusive, but will be used by the Contracting Officer as general guidance in individual contract situations:
(1) Unequal Access to Information. The performance of this contract may provide access to “nonpublic information,” which could provide the contractor an unfair competitive advantage in later solicitations or competitions for other DOL contracts. Such an advantage could be perceived as unfair by a competing vendor who is not given similar access to the same nonpublic information that is related to the future procurement action. If you, as a contractor, in performing this contract, obtain nonpublic information that is relevant to a future procurement action, you may be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan prior to being deemed eligible to compete on the future action. Alternatively, the “nonpublic information” may be provided to all offerors.
(2) Biased Ground Rules. Your contract with DOL may have, in some fashion, established important “ground rules” for another DOL procurement in which you may desire to be a competitor. For example, this contract may involve you drafting the statement of work, specifications, or evaluation criteria for a future DOL procurement. The primary concern, in any such situation, is that any such firm could skew the competition, whether intentionally or not, or be perceived as having skewed the competition, in its own favor. If the requirements of this DOL contract anticipate the contractor may be placed in a position to establish important ground rules, including but not limited to those described herein, the contractor may be precluded from competing in the related action or, if possible, may be required to submit and negotiate an acceptable mitigation plan.
(3) Impaired Objectivity. The performance of this contract may result in the contractor being placed in a situation where it is able, or required, to provide assessment and evaluation findings concerning itself, another business division, a subsidiary or affiliate, or other entity with which it has a significant financial relationship. The concern in this case is that the contractor’s ability to render impartial advice to DOL could appear to be undermined by the contractor’s financial or other business relationship to the entity whose work product is being assessed or evaluated.
In these situations, a “walling off” of lines of communication between entities or divisions may be acceptable, but it also may not be sufficient to remove the perception that the objectivity of the contractor has been tainted. If the requirements of the DOL procurement indicate that a contractor may be placed in a position to provide evaluations and assessments of itself or other entities with which it has a significant financial relationship, the affected contractor should notify DOL immediately. The contractor may also be required to provide a mitigation plan that includes recusal by the contractor from one of the affected contracts. Such recusal might include divestiture of the work to a third party.
(b) In order to prevent a future OCI of any kind, the Contractor shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(1) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for, or award of, any government contracts as to which, in the course of performing another contract, the Contractor has received nonpublic and competitively relevant information before such information has been made generally available to other persons or firms.
(2) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for, or award of, any government contract for which the contractor actually assisted or participated in the development of specifications or statements of work.
(3) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for or award of, any government contract which calls for it to evaluate itself, any affiliate, or any products or services produced or performed thereby.
(4) The Contractor may be excluded from competition for, or award of, any government contract calling for the production or performance of any product or service for which the Contractor participated in the development of requirements or definitions pursuant to another contract.
(c) This clause shall not exclude the Contractor from performing work under any modification to this contract or from competing for award of any future contract for work that is the same or similar to work performed under this contract, so long as the conditions above are not present. This clause does not prohibit an incumbent from competing on a follow-on competition but the Contracting Officer may require a mitigation plan or other steps as needed to ensure that there has not been an unequal access to nonpublic competitively sensitive information.
(d) The term “contractor” as used in this clause, includes any person, firm or corporation that owns or controls, or is owned or controlled by, the contractor. The term also includes the corporate officers of the contractor.
(e) The agency may in its sole discretion, waive any provisions of this clause if deemed in the best interest of the Government. The exclusions contained in this clause shall apply for the duration of this contract and for three (3) years after completion and acceptance of all work performed hereunder, or such other period as the Contracting Officer shall direct.
(f) If any provision of this clause excludes the Contractor from competition for, or award of any contract, the Contractor shall not be permitted to serve as a subcontractor, at any tier, on such contract. This clause shall be incorporated into any subcontracts or consultant agreements awarded under this contract unless the Contracting Officer determines otherwise.

(b) The contractor shall notify employees that the prohibitions and restrictions of any internal confidentiality agreements covered by this clause are no longer in effect.
(c) The prohibition in paragraph (a) of this clause does not contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form 312, Form 4414, or any other form issued by a Federal department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information.
(d) (1) In accordance with section 743 of Division E, Title VII, of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Resolution Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 113-235), use of funds appropriated (or otherwise made available) under that or any other Act may be prohibited, if the Government determines that the Contractor is not in compliance with the provisions of this clause.
(2) The Government may seek any available remedies in the event the contractor fails to comply with the provisions of this clause.

DOLAR 2952.201-70 CONTRACTING OFFICER'S REPRESENTATIVE (COR) CLAUSE
"(a) A Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will be delegated upon award. A copy of the delegation memorandum will be provided to the COR and a delegation letter sent to the vendor.
(b) The COR is responsible, as applicable, for receiving all deliverables; inspecting and accepting the supplies or services provided hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract; providing direction to the contractor which clarifies the contract effort, fills in details or otherwise serves to accomplish the contractual scope of work; evaluating performance; and certifying all invoices/vouchers for acceptance of the supplies or services furnished for payment.
(c) The COR does not have the authority to alter the contractor's obligations under the contract, and/or modify any of the expressed terms, conditions, specifications, or cost of the agreement. If, as a result of technical discussions, it is desirable to alter/change contractual obligations or the scope of work, the contracting officer must issue such changes.

On the basis of the most accurate information available to the Contractor, the notice shall state:
(1) The date, nature, and circumstances of the conduct regarded as a change in scope;
(2) The name, function, and activity of each Government individual and Contractor official or employee involved in, or knowledgeable about, such conduct;
(3) The identification of any documents and substance of any oral communication involved in such conduct;
(b) Following submission of this notice, the Contractor shall continue performance in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, unless notified otherwise by the Contracting Officer.
(c) The Contracting Officer shall promptly, within 5 business days after receipt of notice from the Contractor, respond to the notice in writing. In responding, the Contracting Officer shall either:
(1) Confirm that the Contractor’s notice identifies a change in the scope of the contract and directs the Contractor to stop work, completely or in part, in accordance with the Stop Work provisions of the contract;
(2) Deny that the Contractor’s notice identifies a change in scope and instruct the Contractor to continue performance under the contract; or
(3) In the event the Contractor’s notice does not provide sufficient information to make a decision, advise the Contractor what additional information is required, and establish the date by which it should be furnished and the date thereafter by which the Government will respond.
