Economic Data Integration & Model Validation Support

The contract seeks specialized support to integrate and validate third-party global economic, financial, energy, and trade data into Oxford Economics’ proprietary modeling system, ensuring the integrity and precision of the inputs that drive its analytical outputs. This effort is critical for maintaining the reliability of forecasts and insights that inform high-stakes decision-making, requiring deep expertise in data cleansing, alignment with model architecture, and rigorous validation protocols to detect anomalies or inconsistencies in incoming datasets from international sources. The work demands proficiency in handling complex, heterogeneous data streams and a thorough understanding of macroeconomic frameworks used in commercial forecasting environments. The subcontract is administered under NAICS code 541620, which classifies it as scientific and technical consulting services, and is tied to the Office of Intelligence and Analysis within the Department of the Interior. Performance is expected to occur in Washington, D.C., with a posted date of July 1, 2026, and a firm response deadline of July 10, 2026. Although no set-aside designation or point of contact is specified, the nature of the work implies a need for security-conscious data handling and adherence to federal standards for information integrity, given the agency’s focus on intelligence and analysis. Contractors must demonstrate proven experience in similar data integration projects and an ability to deliver under tight timelines without compromising model accuracy.
