LSEG SEDOL Data

The Department of the Treasury, through the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and the Office of Financial Research (OFR), has issued a sole source award to the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) for the SEDOL Masterfile license. This firm-fixed-price contract, valued at $64,549.72, covers a performance period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The acquisition is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as a brand-name procurement because LSEG is the exclusive provider of the SEDOL Masterfile, which contains data on over 100 million securities and financial instruments. The license is critical for the OFR to fulfill a Memorandum of Understanding with the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) regarding ETF PCF Portfolio Data. This data access supports the OFR's mission under the Dodd-Frank Act to monitor U.S. financial stability by tracking municipal and corporate bond holdings in historical and near-real-time formats. Performance is based in Washington, D.C., and involves the continuous, authorized transmission of proprietary financial identifiers. As a sole source award to a foreign entity categorized as other than a small business, no competitive evaluation factors or standard socioeconomic set-asides were applied.
