About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service seeks a firm-fixed-price contract to collect, clean, and deliver nationally representative household food purchase panel data spanning 2019 through June 2031, with quotations due September 21 at 9:00 AM PT. This is an unrestricted solicitation open to all responsible sources.
Place of performance is Washington, DC 20024. The contract covers one one-year base period (September 15, 2026 through September 14, 2027) and four optional one-year extensions through June 2031. The contractor must deliver an initial dataset spanning 2019 through September 30, 2026 by November 1, 2026, followed by quarterly updates through June 2027 and biannual updates thereafter. Data deliverables must include purchase baskets with component foods, timing, retailer information, prices, item-level identifiers (GTINs/UPCs), payment methods (SNAP, WIC EBT, and other), household characteristics, and refined product taxonomy. The contractor must provide technical assistance not exceeding 10 hours per month via email or teleconference, attend two monthly meetings with USDA staff, and approve new research projects and data outputs within ten business days. An optional Task 3 provides the same panel data for baby sector and limited service restaurant sector purchases.
NAICS code is 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) with a size standard of $28 million. PSC code is AA12 (Agriculture R&D Services). Quoters must submit firm-fixed-price quotation on company letterhead, completed SF-1449 with all contract line items and option periods priced, SAM.gov Unique Entity ID, two to three past performance references from the preceding three years, and a capability statement demonstrating technical capability to meet all Statement of Work performance elements. Past performance must include at least two references demonstrating prime contractor experience. Questions are due September 17 at 2:00 PM PT. Evaluation weighs technical approach, fair and reasonable pricing covering base and all option periods, and past performance (acceptable or neutral rating). One award is anticipated. The Government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to conduct discussions if in its best interest. Failure to submit all required items or demonstrate compliance results in rejection without further consideration. Service Contract Act prevailing wage rates apply; wage determination 2015-4281 (Revision 38) covers the Virginia, DC, and Maryland region with rates ranging from $15.97 to $57.30 per hour depending on occupational classification, plus fringe benefits including health and welfare contributions of $5.55 per hour. Invoices must be submitted to the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform.
