NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE – Yoto Yotov

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) intends to solicit and award a Purchase Order to Yoto Yotov for services to provide three annual releases of the International Trade and Production Dataset for Estimation (ITPD-E) database. The ITPD-E database is currently being used extensively inside and outside the Commission, and there is currently no comparable source of data. The updates will pull the latest available data from all official sources. The period of performance includes a base year and two option years. Some key points to consider: • The USITC anticipates awarding a Purchase Order on a sole source basis to Yoto Yotov. • The ITPD-E database is used as the main data source for gravity modeling and in staff research products. • The updates will be based on the latest available official data for all years, which may include updates and corrections to the data. • The period of performance includes a base year and two option years.
