Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) Acquisition
(solicitation no: YA1323-03-RP-00004)


This contract was awarded on May 5, 2003 to Hewlett Packard.


The Bureau of Census has a requirement to acquire, test and use Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) computing devices that include Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware and a 56kbps modem. The devices will be used by Bureau of Census (BOC) field interviewers or "enumerators" to collect household-level information using a U.S. Census Bureau developed automated questionnaire. The units will be used to collect housing unit location information using a GPS receiver and mapping software that can display and create maps using data saved in shape file format. The shape files will be generated from the BOCs internal version of the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER®) database.
