The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is seeking support services for the development, enhancements, and maintenance for its data collection, editing and dissemination.
Background NASS is one (1) of four (4) agencies that serve USDA’s Research, Education, and Economics (REE) mission area. REE is dedicated to creating a safe, sustainable, competitive U.S. food and fiber system, as well as building strong communities, families, and youth through integrated research, analysis, and education. NASS serves the basic agricultural and rural data needs of the country by providing objective, important and accurate statistical information and services to farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, and public officials. This data is vital to monitoring the ever-changing agricultural sector and carrying out farm policy. More information on REE and NASS can found here: https://www.ree.usda.gov/ and https://www.nass.usda.gov/, respectively. Also, the guide entitled Talking About NASS may be helpful. While NASS is headquartered in Washington, D.C., staff members are located across the contiguous United States.
NASS is one of the primary suppliers of statistics covering U.S. agriculture. NASS conducts hundreds of surveys and the Census of Agriculture, as well as prepares reports covering virtually every facet of U.S. agriculture including production and supplies of food and fiber, prices paid and received by farmers, farm labor and wages. In addition, NASS’ various Field Offices (FO’s) publish data about many of the same topics for local audiences. NASS publications cover a wide range of subjects, from census reports, traditional crops, such as corn and wheat, to specialties, such as mushrooms and flowers; from calves born, to hogs slaughtered; from agricultural prices to land in farms.
