Link USDA nutrition data to IRI scanner data

The USDA Agricultural Research Service seeks to continue developing links between IRI scanner data and USDA food group and nutrient data. In addition, the USDA requires expertise to estimate prices for foods reported in NHANES using IRI scanner data, and to develop retail ingredient quantities for NHANES foods. The contractor must create a Purchase to Plate Crosswalk linking IRI and FNDDS data with conversion factors, a Purchase to Plate Price Tool to estimate NHANES food prices, and a Purchase to Plate Ingredient Tool. Key deliverables and due dates include a pilot study plan by October 31, 2020, completed linking tools for 2015-2016 data by June 1, 2021, and for 2017-2018 data by December 1, 2021.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. The contractor must sign a third party agreement to access proprietary IRI data, and all work will become property of the USDA. The period of performance is from date of award through March 31, 2022 across the United States. No budget range, potential incumbents, or award values are provided. The solicitation number is 1014214 and is seeking expertise in linking USDA nutrition data to IRI scanner data through March 2022.
