S&P Global Pricing & Purchasing Service

A one-year subscription to S&P Global Pricing & Purchasing Service is being procured under a sole-source acquisition through solicitation N0018926QW273 issued by the Navsup Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, a Department of Defense activity. The service, which provides forward-looking market research and escalation rate analysis, is essential for defense pricing and procurement decisions and is only available from S&P Global, making this a non-competitive commercial item purchase conducted under FAR Part 13. The contract period runs from August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2027, with performance occurring digitally, accessible from a designated location in Pennsylvania, though administrative oversight is managed from Norfolk, Virginia. No pricing details are disclosed in the documentation, and the contract value remains unreported. The acquisition follows a simplified process without formal evaluation factors, weights, or trade-off analysis, with award likely based on lowest-price technically acceptable criteria. Standard FAR and DFARS clauses are incorporated by reference, including those related to commercial item contracts, cybersecurity, and electronic payment submissions, but no specific packaging, marking, inspection, or acceptance procedures are detailed. The offeror’s representations, certifications, or compliance with socioeconomic, cybersecurity, or reporting requirements are not provided in the available materials. Contact for the solicitation is Kasey Fly at the Norfolk office, and responses must be submitted by July 27, 2026, though the preferred submission method is not explicitly defined. The procurement uses no set-aside provisions and does not include options, key personnel requirements, or unique special conditions beyond standard regulatory compliance.
