Reuters Online Information Service

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission plans to enter into a sole source contract with Reuters for the provision of financial market information services from October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009. The agreement encompasses access to Reuters Trader, North America, Reuters Capital Markets Premium, and North American Capital Markets with Kobra and Futures Access. Reuters has been identified as the only available source capable of providing these specialized services, eliminating the need for a competitive solicitation process. The contract, identified by solicitation number CF200902, will be performed in Washington, DC. The agency is not accepting telephone inquiries but encourages interested parties to contact the Contracting Office in writing, with Nick D Graham serving as the point of contact for further information. The agreement supports the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's need for comprehensive and timely financial market data critical to its operations.
