About this opportunity
The U.S. International Trade Commission announced a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a Purchase Order to Michael Sposi on July 8, 2026, under FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source), with a July 10, 2026 response deadline. No competitive quotations will be issued; this notice is for informational purposes only.
Sposi will develop a multi-country, multisector quantitative economic model designed to analyze trade balance dynamics, trade flows, and output changes following trade policy modifications such as tariff adjustments. The model must incorporate sector-specific capital with adjustment costs, intertemporal household decisions, and an international bond market to generate endogenous saving and borrowing behavior. The Commission requires this capability to comply with statutory obligations under 19 U.S.C. 1332(g) and to quantify short-run and long-run macroeconomic impacts of trade policy changes, including effects on investment, domestic production, the trade balance, and onshoring timelines. Market research determined that only one existing model supports economy-wide trade and capital accumulation analysis, and Sposi is the sole non-federal co-author of the paper that developed it. The Commission cited specialized expertise requirements and risk of delays or increased costs if another contractor were engaged. The model will leverage existing, publicly available datasets, potentially including the ITPD-S maintained by USITC. Performance runs from July 10, 2026 through July 9, 2027. Inquiries may be directed to Contracting Officer Meaghann Peak at meaghann.peak@usitc.gov; any information submitted within five days of publication will be considered.
Notice text
NOTICE TYPE: SPECIAL NOTICE
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE – Michael Sposi
NAICS Code 541690 – Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services
PSC R499 – Support – Professional: Other
The U. S. International Trade Commission (USITC or Commission) anticipates award of a Purchase Order on a sole source basis to Michael Sposi, 4947 Creighton DR, Dallas, Texas, 75214-2124, United States under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
This requirement is for services to develop an economic model that will incorporate sector-specific capital with adjustment costs, intertemporal household decisions, and an international bond market to generate endogenous saving and borrowing behavior.
As part of its efforts to fulfill its mandate, the US ITC seeks to procure a multi-country, multisector quantitative model designed to analyze changes and transition dynamics in the trade balance, trade flows, and output following trade policy changes, such as tariff changes. This contract is essential to produce quantitative analysis to comply with statutory obligations wider 19 U.S.C. l332(g). Specifically, it will enhance the Commission's ability to quantify the short run and long-run impacts of changes in trade policy on macroeconomic outcomes, including investment, domestic production, and the trade balance. A model with these capabilities is necessary to fully analyze the impact of trade policy on onshoring, as well as to estimate the timeline and path of economic changes after a policy is put in place. To the degree possible, this model will rely on existing, publicly available datasets, potentially including the ITPD-S, which is produced and maintained by USITC.
The period of performance:
July 10, 2026 to July 9, 2027
