About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management intends to issue a sole-source RFQ and award a GSA Multiple Award Schedule order to Industrial Economics, Inc. under GSA MAS SIN 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), with an estimated contract value of $650,000 and a period of performance of approximately 33 months.
The justification cites GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(ii), establishing that only one source is capable of providing the required services at the required quality level. IEc developed and refined BOEM's Cumulative Impacts Model and Lifecycle Impacts Model and possesses direct knowledge of these models' structure, assumptions, methodology, IMPLAN data integration, and prior updates. Market research identified other firms with general applied economics and modeling capability, but BOEM's need is for specialized follow-on support for existing BOEM-specific models. The Government estimates that a new contractor would require 332 to 532 hours of onboarding effort, resulting in $77,000 to $124,000 in duplicated labor costs and 13 to 25 weeks of schedule delay.
The work includes updating and refining the existing models, updating IMPLAN data, performing other model updates, developing or supporting economic impact models for selected Outer Continental Shelf regions, preparing synthesis and technical reports, and providing project management, documentation, reporting, and training. BOEM commits to reducing barriers to future competition by maintaining model documentation, preserving editable model files, documenting assumptions and data sources, and requiring updated technical documentation as part of the order. The Government will evaluate IEc's quoted rates against pre-negotiated GSA MAS rates.
