Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Statistics Canada

The U.S. Census Bureau (BOC), on behalf of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), intends to award on an other than full and open basis under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, to Statistics Canada - a government agency under the Government of Canada - of Ottawa, ON, Canada, to provide Banff software, a comprehensive survey data editing and imputation system. BOC and BEA conducted extensive market research and determined that this is the only source that can satisfy the Government's requirements. The license for this software will be permanent - it will not have an expiration date. The estimated value of this requirement is $28,000.00 over the period of performance of six months after award. This notice is not a solicitation for proposals. Interested parties may submit capabilities statements by the closing date of the notice by Friday, September 19, 2014, 2:30 PM, Eastern Standard Time.
