About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis is seeking information from private data providers on datasets that measure economic activity across states and counties, with responses due by August 14, 2026. This is a sources sought notice for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or binding commitment.
BEA seeks establishment-level or establishment-allocated data in three areas: investment in prepackaged and custom software, investment in equipment, and geographic flow of e-commerce activity. Data must identify actual location of software installation or equipment delivery and use rather than corporate headquarters, include state location and annual reporting, classify by NAICS codes, and where possible provide establishment identifiers. For e-commerce shipments, data must reflect destination state (purchaser residence) and preferably origin state (retailer location). All datasets must cover the full U.S. establishment universe or household population with valid weighting to represent these populations.
Historical data availability back to 2011 or earlier is preferred. Data must be accessible in structured, machine-readable formats via API, SFTP, flat files, or web platforms and updated annually within a few months after year-end. Vendors must demonstrate licensing terms permitting publication of derived statistics and internal analytical use. Responses should not exceed 10 pages and must include cover page with vendor name, CAGE code, UEI number, DUNS number, and business size, followed by narrative addressing data capabilities, methodology, vendor background, and sample data if available. Responses should be submitted via email to Blen Gabriel (BGabriel@doc.gov) or Jacqueline Brown (JBrown4@doc.gov) with subject line "Sources Sought - [Agency Name] - [Your Company Name]." The applicable NAICS code is 519290. The Government reserves the right to revise requirements before releasing any subsequent solicitation.
Notice text
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUCEMENT. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This Sources Sought Notice is intended only for information and planning purposes at this time, and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Commerce. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Additionally, the Government reserves the right to revise the requirements of the proposed action before the release of any associated solicitation. This is not a Request for Quotes (RFQ).
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), including its Regional Directorate, is seeking information from private data providers about datasets that could improve the measurement of economic activity across states and counties. BEA is especially interested in data useful for estimating investment in prepackaged and custom software, investment in equipment, and the geographic flow of e-commerce activity. These data support BEA’s regional accounts, including Gross Domestic Product by state and county, input-output frameworks, business investment, and related economic indicators as specifically identified in the attached Statement of Work (SOW).
