This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1 due to the proprietary nature of the database, its unique methodological framework, and the absence of any other source capable of delivering a comparable product, as confirmed by market research. The contract value is estimated at $26,376, and the procurement is conducted as a simplified acquisition via purchase order under FAR 13.501, bypassing competitive procedures. The sole source justification is supported by Purdue University’s longstanding role in developing and maintaining the GTAP-CM database, which requires deep technical expertise and institutional knowledge to ensure compatibility and data integrity. The place of performance is Washington, D.C., at the U.S. International Trade Commission, although the work will be performed remotely by Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. No formal contract clauses, delivery schedules beyond the deadline, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or quality standards are specified in the documentation, reflecting the non-competitive nature of the transaction. The Contracting Officer, Ian Quillman, is the sole point of contact for submissions, which must be received via email by August 20, 2026, within five days of the posting date. The procurement does not include options, key personnel requirements, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest mitigations, and no representations or certifications from the offeror are required or provided. The vendor’s identity and address are confirmed, but no UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status information is available, and no payment, invoicing, or accounting details beyond the estimated value have been outlined. The update will be delivered electronically, with acceptance occurring at the government’s designated location based on compliance with the GTAP v12 standard and 2023 reference year.
