Capital Economics (N.a.) LIMITED

Capital Economics (N.a.) LIMITED, a London-based foreign-owned for-profit corporation, delivers subscription-based economic research, forecasting publications, and analytical services to U.S. federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates in a full-and-open posture with no set-aside designations across its federal work; all 24 awards in the source record are purchase orders or definitive contracts valued below $380 thousand each, typically awarded sole-source to Capital Economics based on its exclusive proprietary research and forecasting methodologies.

Capital Economics' core offering is subscription access to specialized economic intelligence covering U.S. economics, global markets, China, emerging markets, and country-specific research. Representative capability examples include a $379,314.74 definitive contract from Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service (awarded March 2024, running through January 2029) for weekly subscription publications across five economic research domains, recognized as sole-source work on behalf of the Office of Financial Research and Financial Stability Oversight Council; a $207,666.44 purchase order from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (awarded July 2022, ultimate completion July 2027) for a subscription service option year renewal supporting agricultural policy research; and a $148,405.70 purchase order from the Energy Information Administration (awarded June 2026, running through March 2032) for the Capital Economics Essentials Package subscription. Customer concentration is dispersed across civilian economic and research functions. The top five funding entities by combined potential value account for 82% of awards: the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices ($599 thousand across 2 awards), the Department of Energy Energy Information Administration ($349 thousand across 3 awards), the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service and Economic Research Service ($353 thousand combined across 2 awards), and the Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis ($116 thousand across 3 awards). By award count, the top customers are the Department of State Office of the Secretary of State (5 awards), the Department of Commerce (6 awards split across the Office of the Secretary, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and Census Bureau), and the Department of Energy Energy Information Administration (3 awards).

Activity has remained sparse and relatively flat over the past five years — one to three awards annually from 2022 through 2026 — with a combined federal award footprint of $1.7 million in potential value. Three awards (combined potential value $369 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete exposure for the vendor. Capital Economics operates exclusively as a prime and carries no federal subcontract awards in the source record. The vendor's posture is subscription and research-publication delivery to civilian agencies with economic analysis, policy research, or financial oversight missions, with no defense or intelligence community exposure.
