About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) within the Department of Labor is conducting market research through this Request for Information to identify potential sources for point-of-sale used vehicle transaction data to support the Consumer Price Index program. The agency seeks a one-time purchase of comprehensive transaction data covering the period from January 2024 through May 2025, with requirements for complete geographic coverage across all 50 states and major metropolitan areas. Potential vendors must provide 22 specific data elements including sale dates, vehicle identification numbers, specifications, pricing details, financing information, and transaction specifics. Responses will be evaluated on a binary "Relevant" or "Irrelevant" basis, with selected respondents potentially invited to demonstrate their capabilities to government subject matter experts. The deadline for responses is 5:00 PM EST on July 1, 2025, with submissions required via email to the designated contracting point of contact.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and may proceed as either a small business set-aside or full and open competition depending on market research results. No incumbent contractors or specific vendors are mentioned in the documentation, indicating this may represent a new procurement requirement or significant expansion of existing data collection efforts. While no specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed, the scope encompasses 17 months of nationwide used vehicle transaction data, suggesting a substantial data acquisition effort. The government reserves the right to make multiple awards if deemed appropriate, and explicitly states that the possibility of multiple vendors being selected exists depending on market capabilities and competition levels.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has an ongoing interest in market data with which to analyze, evaluate, and improve the indexes it produces. CPI-OPLC-BLS requires point-of-sale transaction data for used vehicles purchased by U.S. consumers. BLS is the principle Federal agency responsible for measuring price changes in the economy and constructs indexes using data collected from both households and business establishments. Because of the importance of BLS data, it is critical that the component indexes are accurate, timely, and relevant. To achieve this goal, BLS occasionally purchases price data for analysis. The used vehicle point-of-sale transaction data purchase is of additional importance as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) program has transitioned to using these price data in the index.
