Census Decennial as a Service (D-X) BPO

The U.S. Census Bureau is seeking industry feedback on its draft Baseline Performance Objectives (BPO) and related Service Level Requirements for the Decennial‑as‑a‑Service (D‑X) program, which will support the 2028 Census Test and the 2030 Decennial Census. This pre‑solicitation effort asks vendors to comment on performance metrics, service domains, risk assessments, and pricing models. Responses must be submitted by 15 Oct 2026 4:00 PM EST via email to the listed contacts. • Scope covers contract/program coordination, systems development, device lifecycle management, logistics/warehousing, mobility & Unified Endpoint Management, and security/compliance. • Key performance metrics include device provisioning rates (10 k devices/day), shipping volumes (70 k kits/week), uptime targets (≥ 99.9 % service availability), and strict reporting cadences (monthly SLA reports by the 10th business day). • Feedback is required on six sections of the draft BPO, including baseline objectives, service domain definitions, acquisition risks, performance requirements, fixed‑price suitability, and additional recommendations.
