- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requests information from small businesses - that meet the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) small business size requirement for North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541910 (Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling) -- that can provide third party measurement services to capture and report the transmission speed of fixed broadband services in multiple geographic areas of the United States. The FCC is interested in obtaining information about the capabilities of small businesses that have the management, technical, and staffing capability to: • Create a statistically relevant sample panel of approximately 10,000 fixed broadband households (i.e. with broadband connections) -- across geographies, technologies and providers -- on an opt-in, voluntary basis that can be used to create a baseline level of performance and measurements for a regulatory agency; • Create a representative sample across the Top 20 broadband service providers; • Implement a multiple protocol technical solution that measures, collects and reports broadband transmission speed and performance for 10,000 fixed broadband households across geographies, technologies and providers on an opt-in, voluntary basis; • Provide web tools for authorized users to access and analyze collected data; and • Provide stringent privacy and confidentiality protections and security for collected data Sources that can provide such services are requested to submit a ten (10) page capabilities white paper (single sided page, 1 inch margins with 12 point font size) that provides the following information: (1) Company Name, Address, and point of contact; (2) Company Size and business classification [e.g. HUB Zone, small, small disadvantaged, small woman-owned, large business]; (3) Key information on your company's management, technical and staffing capabilities to meet the above survey requirements; (4) High-level technical approach to create and implement the type of survey described herein; and (5) Examples of successful survey implementations of similar complexity and scale. Graphics and illustrations are included in the ten (10) page limitation. This RFI does not represent a contract, a promise to contract or a commitment of any kind on the part of the FCC. The Government does not intend to award a contract solely on the basis of the RFI, nor will the Government pay for information received in response to this RFI. Submitted documents will NOT be returned. The objective of this RFI is to obtain market research in order to assist acquisition planning. All proprietary and restricted information shall be clearly marked. Written responses shall be e-mailed to the attention of Mr. Jamie Thompson at Jamie.thompson@fcc.gov with following e-mail subject reference: Third Party Market Survey.
