DOL/BLS - Improved Seasonally Adjusted Estimates RFI

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes monthly seasonally adjusted labor force estimates that are computed using Current Population Survey (CPS) data, and furthermore provides seasonal factors to apply to the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration’s (ETA) weekly unemployment claims data. Further research is needed to improve these estimates. The CPS is a monthly household survey of approximately 60,000 households administered by the Census Bureau for BLS. It provides a comprehensive body of data on the labor force, employment, unemployment, persons not in the labor force, hours of work, earnings, and other demographic and labor force characteristics. The Department of Labor / Bureau of Labor Statistics is in search of sources that can fullfill the requirements specified in the attached draft performance work statement. Along with a capability statement provide whether this requirement can be fulfilled through an active GSA schedule. Please provide schedule information, the labor category(s) and rate(s).
