About this opportunity
The U.S. Census Bureau issued a justification for other than full and open competition (sole-source procurement) on October 20, 2026, for business contact and firmographics data valued at $550,000 over a twelve-month period ending September 17, 2027. The Census Bureau determined that Data Axle, Inc. is the only viable source capable of meeting its requirements. Market research identified two potential vendors—Data Axle and ZoomInfo—but ZoomInfo lacks a System for Award Management registration, has no intention of obtaining one, and confirmed it has no contractual mechanisms to conduct business with the federal government. Data Axle was selected based on its unique focus on small businesses, exceptional data accuracy, breadth of coverage, and consistent refresh cycles. The required deliverables include verified open and closed U.S. business records, business email contacts, financial and commercial real estate attributes, bankruptcy records, and real-time user interface access to Places. These data support the Census Bureau's Business Frame maintenance and economic products including Principal Federal Economic Indicators, the Annual Integrated Economic Survey, and the Economic Census. The justification will remain posted on SAM for at least 30 calendar days. The response deadline is November 19, 2026.
