99 -- Internet-based interactive financial information system

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission plans to award a sole source firm fixed-price contract to Bloomberg Financial Markets for an internet-based interactive financial information system. This system will provide continuous real-time and delayed current and historical U.S. and international financial data along with news through an analytical platform. The award will be made without competition under FAR 6.302-1, as Bloomberg Financial Markets is currently the only provider equipped to aggregate the required data and news on the necessary platform. While this is a Notice of Intent rather than a solicitation, interested organizations may submit capability statements and qualifications to the SEC for consideration. However, submissions may not be considered and will be used solely to determine the potential for future competitive procurements. The contract is associated with NAICS code 541990, with key contacts including Contract Specialist Jose J. Gallagher and Contracting Officer Sandy A. Wright. The contract reference number is 21000-08-00059, and the office is located in Washington, DC. No solicitation or further information will be issued for this sole source requirement.
