The contract seeks the supply of comprehensive international goods trade data essential for federal science and technology policy research, encompassing detailed import and export flows, trade values, partner countries, and HS-coded commodity classifications. This data will support evidence-based analysis and decision-making within the National Science Foundation’s Division of Acquisition and Cooperative Support to inform national research priorities and technological competitiveness strategies. The requirement is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 519130, indicating its focus on other information services, and performance is designated for Alexandria, Virginia, with a response deadline of July 15, 2026. The data must be accurate, timely, and consistently updated to reflect current global trade patterns, with emphasis on granularity and compatibility for integration into federal research systems. While no set-aside criteria are specified and the point of contact information is not provided, potential offerors must ensure their data sources meet the federal government’s standards for reliability and coverage. The opportunity is accessible via the SAM.gov portal, and submissions are expected to demonstrate the ability to deliver large-scale, structured trade datasets with robust metadata and geographic and tariff code precision to support advanced analytics in the science and technology policy domain.
