Employee Securities Transaction Compliance System

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a web-based system to automate SEC employee reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings and related SEC compliance processes. SEC employees will use the system to make required reports of personal financial holdings and transactions, and to perform pre-trade clearance checks. The SEC Ethics Office will use the system to administer, supervise and manage certain compliance processes, including: employee reporting, recordkeeping, pre-trade clearing, alerting and transaction monitoring. The system will be a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) solution. The scope of work for the RFP will include the system, and services to implement the system, to train SEC employees and supervisors on use of the system, and to maintain the system. The period of performance will be for one Base Year with four Option Years. The NAICS code for this procurement is 518210. The SEC anticipates issuing the RFP on or about Monday December 8, 2008. The SEC intends to use full and open competition procedures. All interested parties may request a copy of the RFP by sending an email request to Jeremy Garrett at contact@example.gov.
