About this opportunity
The U.S. International Trade Commission issued a notice of intent to sole source to R.L. Polk & Co. for a custom automotive industry dataset, with a response window closing July 1, 2026. The sole-source award is justified under FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source) because R.L. Polk holds exclusive access to manufacturer-specific vehicle component data and supplier-manufacturer relationships across the scope required; competing teardown service providers can supply information on only dozens of vehicles annually versus the hundreds of models R.L. Polk can cover. The requirement supports the USMCA Automotive Rules of Origin 2027 factfinding investigation and calls for supply chain data on manufacturing trends, place of origin by year, and competent manufacture information for automotive parts. The estimated contract value is $103,000. This notice is informational only and no competitive solicitation will be issued; however, the Government will accept information from interested parties within five days of the posting date. Submissions should be directed to Contracting Officer Ian Quillman at ian.quillman@usitc.gov. The determination not to compete remains solely within the Government's discretion.
