About this opportunity

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking an empirical, data-intensive research report on an economic issue relevant to small businesses. The report should evaluate current small business trends, characteristics, or impacts, such as new business creation, recoveries from economic shocks, barriers to growth, or issues with labor, supply chain, or inflation. The report must also assess the policy implications of the findings. Proposals may focus on an issue affecting all small businesses or specific groups, but should not address small business finance or lending. This is a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued as a total small business set-aside, with quotes due by December 16, 2024 and questions due by November 25, 2024. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price contract for a period of up to one year. Respondents must demonstrate strong technical knowledge of the research area, policy relevance, and a clear, feasible research plan. The final report must meet specific formatting, style, and accessibility requirements.

This RFQ does not obligate the government to award a contract or pay for proposal preparation costs. The place of performance is Washington, DC, and the contract will be awarded under NAICS code 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities) and PSC code AF11-P (Education, Training, Employment, & Social Svcs R&D Svcs; Education Svcs R&D; Basic Research).

Notice text

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisiton Regulations (FAR) Subpart 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as applicable, and supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This annoucement constitutes only the solicitation.

73351024Q0172 is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). All quote submissions are due by December 16, 2024 at 5:00PM EST. Questions are due by or before November 25, 2024 at 5:00PM EST. Quotes and questions shall be submitted via email to the Point of Contact (POC) identified in the solicitation. This is a total small business set aside.

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 quote 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 new business creation and dynamism, small business recoveries from economic shocks, barriers to small business growth, or small business issues with the labor market, supply chain management, or inflation. 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 finance or lending, however, should be submitted for the solicitation targeting those topics rather than this solicitation.

See attached full solicitation, SF 18, for complete instructions.
