About this opportunity
The Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics is seeking a contractor to provide data collection services for the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) program, which collects critical monthly employment data from approximately 21,000 business and government establishments nationwide. This hybrid firm-fixed-price and labor-hour contract requires non-personal services including address refinement, enrollment of new sample units, multi-modal data collection primarily via telephone and web methods, edit reconciliation, quality control, and training activities. Contractors must maintain strict confidentiality and security standards under the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act, implement robust cybersecurity practices compliant with NIST standards, and achieve specific performance metrics including response rates ranging from 90-98% for various survey components. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical approach as most important, followed by past performance, and then price, with the government intending to award without discussions. The solicitation has been amended three times, with the current proposal submission deadline set for September 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is unrestricted under NAICS code 541910 with a size standard of $22.5 million. The contract includes a base period of 12 months from January 26, 2026, to January 25, 2027, plus four 12-month option periods extending through January 25, 2031, for a total potential duration of five years. Data collection activities will be performed at two federal Data Collection Centers located in Atlanta, Georgia, and Kansas City, Missouri, with specific staffing requirements including six interviewer positions across both locations with estimated hours ranging from 1,912 to 15,296 per position per period. The contractor must achieve ambitious small business subcontracting goals of 60% total participation, with specific targets for various small business categories including 11% for small disadvantaged businesses and 7% for women-owned businesses. While the documents reference an incumbent contractor, no specific company names or award values are disclosed in the solicitation materials.
