Introduction / Overview This purchase order is for the subscription renewal of 25 “seats” for Hoover’s Advantage.

Background The contractor’s subscription on-line service to Hoover’s Advantage is utilized extensively for researching financial and industry data for returns sampled for the Statistics of Income Corporation and Partnership Studies; whether researching a company that tends to be in the sample from year to year or a company new to the sample, a consistent data source for this research is highly important to the statistical integrity of the data.

Scope The Hoover’s Advantage subscription is one of the primary research tools utilized for these SOI studies. The Corporation sample consists of approximately 115,000 returns while the Partnership sample consists of approximately 38,000 returns. The studies are conducted annually, with the data from these studies utilized for tax policy analysis by our primary users at Treasury’s Office of Tax Analysis, the Joint Committee on Taxation (Congressional), and Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. Published data from these studies are used by the research community and members of the public.

Tasks In order to support the project goals listed above, the on-line subscription service will provide the following:

· Updated information on industry and financial information for companies in the Hoover’s Advantage database which is the source for the subscription
