AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Interior’s Interior Business Center, on behalf of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue, intends to modify an existing sole source purchase order with S&P Global Inc. to add the CSM+ United States Upstream Package to its current subscription services. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 513120 and is being conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5 as a simplified acquisition of commercial items, with no competitive solicitation planned. The existing services provided by S&P Global Platts include market data and pricing information for crude oil, natural gas, and coal markets, which are officially approved under federal regulations 30 CFR §1206.101 and §1206.104 and are critical for verifying production volumes reported by energy operators. The addition of the Upstream Package is necessary to enhance the accuracy of well-head production data used in royalty valuation, compliance auditing, and revenue accounting for states, American Indians, and the U.S. Treasury. The contract modification will extend the existing arrangement under a five-month base period followed by three twelve-month option periods, ensuring continuity of a data pipeline that has been integrated into ONRR’s administrative and technical systems, avoiding the high costs and complexities of sourcing and normalizing data from alternative providers. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement by May 25, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to demonstrate their ability to fulfill the stated requirements, including providing a Unique Entity ID and active SAM registration. Responses must reference solicitation number 140D0426Q0278 and be sent to Mike McGuire at mike_mcguire@ibc.doi.gov. The government reserves the right to determine whether to proceed with the sole source award based on these submissions, and the results will be used solely for market research purposes. This notice does not constitute a solicitation, and no competitive proposals will be accepted; it serves only as an opportunity for potential offerors to demonstrate capability. The award, if made, will remain non-competitive, and failure to secure the required data from S&P Global would significantly impair ONRR’s ability to perform its statutory duties in managing energy and mineral revenues.

NOTICE OF INTENT SYNOPSIS:
The Department of the Interior, Interior Business Center, Acquisition Services Directorate on behalf of Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) intends to modify a Purchase Order 140D0424P0159 with S&P Global Inc., on a sole source basis. The intended procurement is classified under North American Industry Classification System code (NAICS) Code 513120 - Periodical Publishers.
This is a sole source procurement under the authority of FAR Part 13, only the responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This acquisition is conducted under the procedures as described in FAR Part 13.5-Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items and FAR Part 12- Acquisition of Commercial Items.
Description:
ONRR currently receives subscription services to S&P Global publications to provide industry information and pricing data for the crude oil, natural gas and coal energy markets. These publications are used by both government and industry as the standard for business data, information and daily pricing per Federal Regulation 30 CFR §1206.101 and 30 CFR §1206.104. The following S&P Global Subscription Services meet ONRR's need for crude oil, natural gas and coal market data and pricing information:
¿ Market Insight - Crude Oil Package (CSM+)
¿ Market Data - Crude Oil Package (CSM+)
¿ Market Data - Americas Gas and Power Package (CSM+)
¿ Market Insight - Americas Gas and Power Package (CSM+)
¿ Market Data - Fuels and Refining Package (CSM+)
¿ Market Insight - Fuels and Refining Package (CSM+)
The Government intends to modify the current contract to add CSM+ United States Upstream Package
Purpose and Objective:
ONRR requires these publications accurately reflect the volumes of production in the area or field, common markets served, and common pipeline systems in the field or area where production occurs. Reporting must include volume at the API well for oil, gas, water, and injection products. In accordance with CFR Title 30, Chapter XII, Subchapter 1206, ONRR periodically publishes notice of approved publications in the Federal Register are 76 FR 37828 (effective August 1, 2011) and 65 FR 37043 (effective date June 1, 2000). These S&P Global Platts publications are one of three ONRR approved publications required for use by ONRR. The data sets provided within the Global Commodity Insights publications are utilized by ONRR to establish oil and gas production volumes at the well-head for verification of information reported to ONRR by operators further downstream. ONRR¿s existing contracts with S&P Global Platts for pricing, midstream information, and ratings information, 140D0424P0159 and 140D0421P0235, are already provided to ONRR in an established data retrieval and transformation process and the administrative costs with collecting new data from different sources, normalizing it, and transforming it into usable and compatible structure creates excessive administrative burden and technical complexities. Failure to acquire these Global Commodity Insights Subscription Services by S&P Global Platts will severely impact ONRR's core responsibility to collect, account for, verify, and disburse energy and mineral revenues due to the States, American Indians, and the U.S. Treasury as the data provided under these services is critical to royalty valuation, assessing compliance, and performing audits.
Period of Performance: One (1) 5-month Base Period and three (3) 12-month Option Periods
