R--Expert Advice and Assistance

Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 6, Subparts 6.301 and 6.302, the U.S. Census Bureau intends to contract with Robert Willner on a sole source basis to support computer processing related to the transition of the re-engineered economic Business Register. The Business Register is central to the Economic Directorate because it provides the enumeration list for economic censuses and sampling frames for economic surveys. It is the cornerstone for all Economic programs and is used to produce statistics instrumental for public and private decision making and formulation of business strategies and public policies. The Census Bureau believes the Mr. Willner's 30+ years of experience as a programmer, systems analyst and database administrator in the economic area with most of that time in the role of development and support of the Business Register data makes him uniquely qualified to successfully complete the required services.
