About this opportunity
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is conducting market research to gather input from industry on best practices and approaches to perform data collection activities for several of its statistical programs, including the Current Employment Statistics (CES), Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Center operations, and Occupational Requirements Survey (ORS). The agency is specifically seeking information on contract structure, performance incentives, and telework flexibilities, with the goal of developing a solicitation that aligns with current business practices and increases the likelihood of successful contract performance. Responses to this voluntary Request for Information (RFI) are due by August 1, 2024, and may be used to inform the development of future procurement actions, though no commitment has been made to issue a solicitation.
This RFI is not a set-aside procurement, and the government has not disclosed any information about potential incumbent contractors or anticipated award values. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541910 - Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling, and the associated PSC code is R702 - Support- Management: Data Collection. Key numerical details, such as the size of the data collection programs or the expected period of performance, are provided in the attached Performance Work Statements for each of the survey activities.
