I.2.1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to describe the requirements for obtaining access to an online database of domestic and international trade shipments data.

I.2.3. SCOPE

OT seeks a commercial, off-the-shelf, internet-based trade shipment database and trade analysis platform as a research and shipment analysis tool. This tool will be used to augment existing government analysis platforms by conducting queries on available data. On average, there are between 700-800 active profiles/users per month; however, this is subject to change. Users will leverage the data provided through the online trade shipments database and analysis platform for trade enforcement.

C. Latest attainable import and export trade activity from data sources available from the following countries: China, India, Mexico, United States. Additional import and export trade activities from data sources available from other countries are optional and considered an added benefit, particularly those in close proximity to China that may serve as transshipment points.

D. Frequently updated database with the latest available data.

Data Manipulation E. The ability to discern how different commodities are trending over a period of time.

F. Query, filter, and search capabilities to display data by global geographic regions (e.g., Western Europe, South Asia, etc.), countries, local geographic regions, cities, ports, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Code identifiers (from 6 up to 10 - digits), U.S and Foreign companies and entities, bills of lading, manifest, and other shipment information as available.

G. Data visualization and analytical tools.

Usability H. An easy to use online platform for conducing queries, developing reports, and analyzing data and downloading and printing reports that is accessible from any computer or device with an internet browser.

I. Unlimited access for users with a “@cbp.dhs.gov” email address.

I.2.5. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

This contract shall consist of a base year and four (4), one-year option periods for access to the online platform, for a total potential of five (5) years, if all options are exercised. Dates below are estimates and may change based on final contract award date.

Base Period: March 29, 2020 – March 28, 2021 Option Period 1: March 29, 2021 – March 28, 2022 Option Period 2: March 29, 2022 – March 28, 2023 Option Period 3: March 29, 2023 – March 28, 2024

Go live date for system access by CBP personnel shall be March 29, 2020.

I.2.6. TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
