NTTO - World Cup Analysis

The contract seeks a comprehensive, data-driven assessment of the economic impact of tourism associated with the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the U.S. economy, to be conducted by a small business under a Total Small Business Set-Aside. The study must evaluate national and regional effects, including visitor and event-related spending, employment impacts, labor income, value added to the economy, tax revenues across federal, state, and local levels, sector-specific outcomes, and implications for U.S. travel exports and international visitation. The contractor is required to employ defensible economic modeling frameworks such as IMPLAN or RIMS II, clearly defining direct, indirect, and induced impacts, and must submit a detailed project work plan, methodology, and data collection strategy for government review. All deliverables, including final reports and communications materials, must be clear, accurate, professionally formatted, incorporate government feedback, and be acceptable with no more than one round of substantive revisions. The work will be performed primarily at the contractor’s facilities with remote work authorized for administrative, analytical, and reporting tasks, while fieldwork will occur at FIFA World Cup host cities and team base camps, subject to prior approval. The contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order with a 12-month performance period, issued via Simplified Acquisition Procedures under NAICS Code 541910, and governed by a Best Value Tradeoff source selection process evaluating technical capability and price. The contractor must comply with all applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, including provisions on System for Award Management registration, organizational conflict of interest, trafficking in persons, child labor, Buy American requirements, and information security.
