Notification of the SEC's Intent to Award a Single Source Purchase Order to Intelligize

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission plans to award a fixed-price purchase order to Intelligize for access to its specialized online database subscription. This subscription is essential for the SEC to conduct searches of Staff Comment Letters, No Action Letters, and M&A Research documents. Intelligize offers a unique capability to filter and refine searches by data form group and utilize multiple filters, enabling more precise and iterative search results. The contracting officer has determined that Intelligize is the only source capable of meeting the SEC’s specific requirements, as stipulated under federal acquisition regulations. The purchase order will cover one base year with an option to extend for up to three additional years, with a total value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The award is expected to be made around January 31, 2014. This procurement is being conducted on a sole source basis, meaning there will be no competitive solicitation issued; however, the SEC will consider input from interested parties who demonstrate their interest and capability to meet the requirement by the response deadline. The contract falls under NAICS code 519190 and is managed by the SEC’s office located in Washington, DC.
