The purpose of this RFI is to gather information about potential vendors to obtain current monthly wireless and wireline telecommunications service plan pricing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has an ongoing interest in market data with which to analyze, evaluate, and improve the indexes it produces. Specifically, the BLS is seeking detailed data for one year from a survey asking households to record information about their purchases for telecommunications services. BLS would like to wholly purchase this data, as opposed to a temporary lease of the data. The BLS is the principle Federal agency responsible for measuring price changes in the economy and constructs indexes using data collected from both households and business establishments. Because of the importance of BLS data, it is critical that the component indexes are accurate, timely, and relevant.
