State-Level Data on Software Investment, Equipment Purchases, and E-Commerce Shipments

The Department of Commerce, through the Bureau of Economic Analysis, is seeking information from private data providers regarding datasets that can enhance the accuracy and granularity of economic measurements at the state and county levels. Specifically, the agency is interested in data related to investment in prepackaged and custom software, equipment purchases, and the geographic patterns of e-commerce shipments. These datasets are critical for refining regional economic accounts such as Gross Domestic Product by state and county, input-output frameworks, and business investment indicators as outlined in the attached Statement of Work.
