AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 50310226Q0184 with a NAICS code of 519210 to conduct market research for library support services. This RFI, issued on June 30, 2026, and with a response deadline of July 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET, is strictly for planning purposes under FAR 10.001 and does not initiate a formal solicitation or bind the Government to any future contract award. No vendor questions were received by the July 7, 2026 deadline, so no Q&A amendment was issued, and the original response date remained unchanged. Vendors were requested to submit a concise, 10-page response including company details such as legal name, UEI, CAGE code, SAM.gov status, small business and socioeconomic certifications, and any existing GWACs or GSA Schedule contracts. A capability statement describing experience providing news monitoring services to federal clients per the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW) was required, along with a rough order of magnitude pricing estimate for a base year plus up to four one-year options extending through September 27, 2031. The primary objective of the RFI was to gather industry feedback on the draft SOW to inform the final procurement strategy, including potential set-aside determinations for small businesses, full and open competition, or sole source justification. Vendors were instructed to provide detailed, annotated comments on the draft SOW addressing clarity, technical feasibility, competition-restricting language, and performance metrics, using tracked changes or a cross-referenced document. Responses were to be submitted electronically to Pleshette Brown, the contracting officer, in PDF or Microsoft Word format. The Government emphasized that all submissions become its property with no reimbursement for preparation costs, and proprietary information must be clearly marked to avoid unrestricted disclosure. The place of performance is primarily at SEC headquarters in Washington, DC, with limited remote work permitted under COR approval for certain roles. The draft SOW outlines requirements for reference services, password management, collection management, and user training, with all deliverables becoming Government property. Key personnel, particularly the Reference Librarian, require prior approval for substitution. Contractor personnel must adhere to federal security protocols, undergo background checks as needed, and comply with remote work policies to protect Government systems.

Suggested revisions: Please provide specific recommended edits, additions, or deletions to the draft SOW language, with rationale.

SOW comments should be submitted using a tracked-changes version of Attachment A or in a separate document that identifies the relevant SOW section, proposed revision, and rationale. Comments will be used to inform the final SOW and will not be attributed to individual respondents in any subsequent solicitation.
