RFI - Address Listing Field Augmentation

The United States Census Bureau (USCB) is seeking information to identify available data solutions to support the requirements described in the Request For Information (RFI) document. The USCB aims to obtain address data in hard-to-reach areas to further strengthen the address frame in the Master Address File (MAF)/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System. The contractor shall provide address and location data for Living Quarters (LQs) in areas generally not covered by 'civic' or 'city-style' addressing systems. The key requirements include providing address data in a format consistent with the United States Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal Address Data Standard, providing file-level metadata, and providing a data quality report. Some of the key points to consider are: • The contractor shall provide address data, including address points (x,y coordinates accurate to a minimum of 5 decimal places) in a format consistent with the United States Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal Address Data Standard. • The contractor shall provide file-level metadata that includes, at a minimum, the following information: data collection date, data collection source, data authority and/or owner, data license restrictions, coordinate reference system, and coordinate position. • The contractor shall provide a data quality report that describes how data provided meets the categories of geographic data quality described in national and international standards. • The contractor shall provide the USCB with the ability to ingest the data in a commonly used machine-readable format on a regular (monthly) basis.
