This contract is for a commercial subscription to the JobsEQ Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, which provides comprehensive labor market and economic analytics. This notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. Any responsible source capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement.

Purpose & Scope

The Government requires a robust platform to support foreign direct investment (FDI) research and investment attraction activities. The JobsEQ platform must provide current and historical labor market data, demographic and industry analytics, customizable regional datasets (including ZIP-code level analysis), and advanced analytical tools such as economic impact modeling and "what-if" forecasting. The platform must also offer exportable reports, datasets, and visualizations.
