AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission plans to award a sole-source fixed-price purchase order to Source Media LLC for subscription access to proprietary investment publications that provide unique financial analysis and real-time electronic content unavailable from any other provider. The contract was determined to be non-competitive because Source Media LLC is the only entity capable of meeting the SEC’s requirements, as its publications are copyrighted and access is exclusively controlled by the company. The award is expected to be made on or about August 6, 2026, with a two-year base performance period, and the total value will remain below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may still submit interest or proposals by the response deadline of July 16, 2026, for government consideration. The contract is managed by the SEC’s office in Washington, DC, with Jeremy Garrett as the primary point of contact.

All content must be accessible and searchable through a single unified platform. The procurement is justified under 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) due to the proprietary nature of the content and the absence of alternative sources. Only contractors registered in SAM.gov are eligible to respond, and submission must occur via email to marla.chesler@usdoj.gov within fourteen days of the notice, with no formal solicitation issued through SAM.gov. Any resulting contract will have a one-year performance period and will be governed by standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses including commercial terms, electronic invoicing, payment by electronic funds transfer, equal opportunity, prohibitions on segregated facilities and child labor, and restrictions on certain telecommunications and surveillance equipment. The contractor must also comply with requirements addressing DEI discrimination and certification regarding responsibility matters. The government retains full discretion to determine whether competition is warranted based solely on the responses received, which will not constitute bids or proposals. While this notice is not a solicitation, interested parties must provide detailed documentation proving their capability to deliver the exact proprietary content described. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 424920, with performance based in Washington, D.C., and all communications must be directed to the designated point of contact, Marla Chesler.
