Notification of the SEC's Intent to Award a sole source purchase order for subscription to investment publicationsThe 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.
