The scope of this requirement is for access to an internet accessible pricing database for 6-10 users with the needed functionality to perform current and historical price research, as well as price forecasting analysis and market commentary. The pricing database must include the following at a minimum:

1. Current, historical, and forecast pricing data on Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications (IMPS) and North American Meat Processors Association (NAMPS) products and subcategories from all the following food industries:

a. Eggs

b. Poultry

c. Red Meat

If the product information is available online, a web address may be provided in lieu of the product description sheet. See Addendum to 52.212-1(d).

A government representative(s) will evaluate the information provided to determine if, in his/her opinion, the minimum requirements and intended use of the product(s) is met. The government is not required to research information outside what is provided (product specifications/web address) to make the determination.

The following rating method will be used by the evaluating government representative(s) to qualify the offeror:
