Synopsis:
E52029X Updated CATI Data for Use in the NSB’s Science & Engineering
Indicators Publication
The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to procure on a
sole-source basis the rights to use proprietary data from the CATI
database, owned by Dr. John Hagedoorn, Maastrict Economic Research
Institute on Innovation and Technology (MERIT), the Netherlands.
The purchase will include specific tables of data customized for
use in the National Science Board’s (NSB) Science and Engineering
Indicators (SEI) publication. MERIT is uniquely qualified as the
CATI database includes features customized for NSF’s Division
of Science Resources Statistics, and the NSB has used this data
already in prior editions of the SEI which it needs to have updated.
The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which
the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source
under the authority of FAR 13.106. This notice of intent is not
a request for competitive proposals.
