TeleGeography Subscription

The U.S. Department of Commerce, through its Office of Acquisition Management and in support of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, intends to award a one-year sole-source contract to PRIMETRICA INC. for access to TeleGeography’s proprietary data services, including the Data Center Research Service, Transport Networks Research Service, and IP Transit Database. This acquisition is conducted under FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement because PRIMETRICA INC. is the only responsible source capable of providing these specialized telecommunications datasets essential for NTIA’s policy analysis, broadband deployment strategies, and spectrum utilization research. The contract performance is located in Washington, D.C., with the services delivered electronically to support the Office of Policy, International Affairs, and Analysis. The solicitation number is RFQ-26-00222, posted on May 15, 2026, with a response deadline of May 30, 2026, and interested parties may submit objections within 15 days via email to Erika Crawford at ecrawford@doc.gov. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 518210, indicating the intent to award to a small business, which aligns with PRIMETRICA INC.’s status. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing details, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria are specified in the available documentation, as the sole-source nature circumvents competitive procedures. The agency has not provided contract type, payment instructions, accounting codes, invoicing methods, or details on contract administration personnel, and no attachments or performance metrics are formally outlined, with all deliverables centered on continuous subscription access to the TeleGeography databases.
