This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract; it does not restrict the Government’s ultimate approach; nor does it obligate the Government to pay for any proposal preparation costs.


The purpose of this acquisition is to produce an empirical, data-intensive research report on an economic issue relevant to small businesses. This report will evaluate current small business economic trends, characteristics, or impacts, such as small business challenges during recessions, economic contributions small businesses make during recoveries, or small business effects from industry consolidation and market concentration.  The report will also assess the policy implications of the findings. This report may focus on a relevant economic issue affecting all small businesses or an issue affecting specific groups of small businesses.  Proposals focusing on small business owner demographics, however, should be submitted for the solicitation targeting those topics rather than this solicitation.
