Intent to Issue Sole Source

The Grant Programs Directorate intends on issuing a sole source firm fixed price purchase order for the following requirement: FEMA is requiring a one time purchase of visitor/travel volume data for calendar years 2005 through 2007 (including more recent data if available) for the 50 U.S. States and 6 U.S. Territories and the top 100 US counties. This is not a request for a subscription. The specific data required is visitor volume data to the 50 U.S. States, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands, and on the top 100 U.S counties with quarterly share estimate information on the top 100 U.S. counties. To ensure the most accurate data possible the vendor must use a combined mail/on-line data collection methodology. Other methodologies are not acceptable. The intended awardee is the D K Shifflet & Associates Ltd. , 1750 Old Meadow Road, McClean, Virginia 22102.
