The U.S. Census Bureau seeks third party providers of aggregated retail point-of-sale transaction data to support its indicator programs, annual survey programs, and Economic Census program. Interested parties must have the capability to provide retail point-of-sale data through individual retailer feeds as well as aggregated feeds at the state and national levels by NAICS code, with store-level and product-level data including brick-and-mortar and e-commerce sales from 2016 to present, to be provided by the 11th day of each month. Responses to the Sources Sought Notice are due by June 1, 2023 and must not exceed six pages excluding the cover page, detailing capabilities to provide the required data and responding to market research questions regarding data coverage, methodology, and agreements with retailers.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. Respondents must have data at the NAICS code level to support programs across various NAICS codes. While current contractors or incumbents were not named, the budget and period of performance were not specified but the data is required from 2016 to present on a monthly recurring basis to support ongoing Census Bureau programs.
