BLS is the principle Federal agency responsible for measuring price changes in the economy and constructs indexes using data collected from both households and business establishments. Because of the importance of BLS data, it is critical that the component indexes are accurate, timely, and relevant. To achieve this goal, BLS occasionally purchases transaction data for analysis.

II. Scope of Work

BLS is looking for twelve months (Feb 2019 - Jan 2020) of telecommunications services data consisting of consumer/residential rates or transaction prices for the following products/services:

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

H.1 NONPERSONAL SERVICES

a. In performance of this contract, the Contractor will provide support in the form of services required by program offices to support management of their overall mission.

b. The services required under the purchase order constitute professional and management services within the definition provided by FAR 37.201. Under this purchase order the Government will obtain professional services, which are essential to the mission but not otherwise available.

c. The Government will neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual Contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to manage their employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. If the Contractor feels that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor's further responsibility to notify the Contracting Officer immediately.

If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, Contractors shall provide letters of commitment or teaming agreements for all critical teaming partners.
