PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Alcohol Beverage Sampling Program (ABSP) Product List Advertising, Labeling and Formulation Division (ALFD)

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)

1. Scope

The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to seek a contractor to provide a list of all alcohol beverage products sold for off premise consumption in the United States within a designated one year period for all three alcohol beverage commodities including wine, beer, and distilled spirits products.

2. Background and Purpose

The TTB’s mission to protect the public includes ensuring that labels on alcohol beverage products contain adequate descriptive information and are not likely to mislead consumers. Established in 2008, the Alcohol Beverage Sampling Program (ABSP) is a random survey of alcohol beverage products in the marketplace that TTB uses to evaluate its success in meeting this mission and to determine where compliance issues exist.

Each year TTB conducts the ABSP by purchasing alcohol beverage products (wine, distilled spirits, and beer) from the marketplace and bringing them to its offices for label assessments to determine if products are in compliance with labeling regulations. Following the label assessments, TTB sends the products to its laboratories to undergo a series of analyses to determine compliance with certain information displayed on the product labels.

Using the results of the ABSP, TTB addresses compliance problems by notifying the industry member about the violation and working with them to bring the product into compliance. If there are repeated or more serious violations, TTB coordinates other enforcement actions that may include investigations or coordination with other federal agencies. Additionally, TTB uses the results to help inform and develop specific courses of action for future policy development, such as updating regulations, issuing guidance documents, and developing educational outreach programs.

TTB statisticians randomly choose products included in the ABSP using a statistical sampling of a list of alcohol beverage products sold in the United States. To enable the ABSP results to accurately reflect the compliance trends of alcohol beverage products sold in the U.S., TTB seeks to identify contractors that can provide a complete list of all alcohol beverage products sold for off-premise consumption in the U.S. within a designated one year time period. For the purpose of this document, TTB uses the term “off-premise” to mean the retail sale of sealed containers of alcoholic beverages for consumption elsewhere than the premises where the beverages are purchased. This includes, but is not limited to:

grocery stores, convenience stores, liquor stores, big-box retailers, mass-market stores, wineries, club stores, and on-line retailers.

3. Service to Be Performed

The contractor shall produce a comprehensive list of alcohol beverage products sold for off-premise consumption in the US during a specified time period of 12 months, ending as close to the award date as possible in order to receive the most current results. The list must: Include wine, beer, and distilled spirits; include both imported and domestic products; include data only from alcohol beverages sold in the U.S. during the 12 months immediately preceding the reporting date; and be delivered to TTB in the form of an Excel spreadsheet, .csv, or .txt file no later than July 31st of the year that the service is to be provided.

The contractor shall produce a listing of the products including at minimum enough discrete product information that allows TTB to identify and purchase individual products. TTB requires that the list include:

4. Specific Requirements
