The United States Census Bureau, under the Department of Commerce, has awarded a sole source firm fixed price task order to Dodge Construction Network, LLC to provide critical construction data and analysis services. This procurement, identified by solicitation number 1333-26-1898 and NAICS code 541910, is designed to support the Value of Construction Put in Place survey. The agreement includes the delivery of electronic monthly construction data files incorporating the Project Lifecycle Database and Construction Analysis System, a subscription to the Dodge One platform for current construction reports, monthly statistical bulletins, and specific project details for permit audits.
The contract period of performance runs from September 11, 2026, through September 10, 2030, with an estimated total value of 2,226,186.48 dollars. This acquisition was conducted as a sole source procurement in accordance with FAR Part 8 and GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii), with the primary place of performance located in Maryland. The scope of work ensures the Census Bureau receives necessary personnel, facilities, and data reporting to maintain accurate construction statistics.
This solicitation, numbered 1333-26-2091, is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of the Associate Director for Research Methodology, to acquire commercial datasets containing personal contact information for all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories where data is available. The requirement is strictly set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns under NAICS code 518210, and only SDVOSB offerors are eligible to submit quotes. Contracts will be awarded on a Firm-Fixed Price basis, with pricing to be proposed by respondents and payments made quarterly upon submission of proper invoices through the U.S. Department of Commerce Electronic Submission of Payment Requests Invoicing Processing Platform, using Electronic Funds Transfer as mandated by FAR Clause 52.232-33. The performance period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with services deliverable either remotely from the contractor’s designated business location or via secure access to the Census Bureau’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, subject to prior approval and strict prohibitions against public access.
The deliverables include commercial data files in ASCII format, delivered securely via file transfer protocol, along with comprehensive metadata, data dictionaries detailing valid values and population frequency, and vintage information for each dataset. All data must be ready for immediate use without additional processing and contain the most current information available. Technical capabilities and prior demonstrated experience are the primary evaluation factors, considered significantly more important than price, with each evaluated holistically and assigned a confidence rating of High, Some, or Low. Price is evaluated separately but is not the driving factor—the Government seeks the greatest overall value, prioritizing superior non-price benefits over minimal cost savings. Compliance with Section L instructions is a pass/fail gate; failure to conform to formatting, submission guidelines, or mandatory content elements results in disqualification. Offerors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), include their Unique Entity Identifier on the cover page, and maintain registration through award and performance. Security requirements are stringent, incorporating clauses for identity verification, information system safeguards, prohibitions against illegal activity, and compliance with HSPD-12 for personnel with access to federal systems. All submissions must be in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint formats, adhere to 11-point Times New
