CalcBench XRBL Data for EDGAR (BNE)

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will NOT be issued. This combined synopsis/solicitation is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ-17PR-TDP-0275). The NAICS code is 518210 Data Processing and Hosting, and the size standard is $32.5 million per year. This is a 100% Small Business set-aside. The Bureau of the Fiscal Service on behalf of the Office of Financial Research (OFR)/Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) is issuing this combined synopsis/solicitation for CalcBench XRBL Data for EDGAR. Fiscal Service anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-priced purchase order for a base year and four (4) optional years of service. This is a Brand Name or Equal solicitation. All interested Offerors are asked to additionally provide ANNUAL pricing for the base year and all 4 optional years for each of the following periods of time: Base Year: Months 1 - 12 Option Year 1: Months 13 - 24 Option Year 2: Months 25 - 36 Option Year 3: Months 37 - 48 Option Year 4: Months 49 - 60 Award will be based on the Best Value basis, using a tradeoff between price and non-price factors. The Government will award to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation/synopsis and that will be advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The determination shall be made by comparing the difference in the values of the technical features with differences in each offeror's price. Subjective judgment on the part of the Government is implicit throughout the entire process of source selection. In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with obtaining superior technical features and experience than with making an award at the lowest overall price. As such, for purposes of this combined synopsis/solicitation, non-price factors when combined are significantly more important than price.
