AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of the Treasury intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to KPLER Inc. for a subscription to its commercial-off-the-shelf research database, which provides critical data and analytics to the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether competition is warranted; failure to receive affirmative submissions will result in the award proceeding directly to KPLER Inc. All submissions must be sent electronically to the designated Contracting Officer, and no reimbursement will be provided for preparation costs.
