Description

SUBCCRIPTION TO ECONOMIST INTELLIGENCE UNIT Description The Overseas Private Investment Corporation intends to award a sole source purchase order to the incumbent firm Economist Intelligence Unit for multi-country information services. These services, via private website, include the renewal of "EIU Country Reports/Profiles", "Country Data (Global BVD)", "EIU Viewswire (Global, IP address)", "Country Commerce Global", "Country Finance Global", "World Commodity Forecasts". "EIU Country Data" is a statistical spreadsheet database of 257 economic indicators in time series for 195 countries, covering 5-10 years of forecast data. "Viewswire" consists of approximately 200 reports per day covering 195 countries and provides concise and original analysis on economic, financial, political and legal aspects of macroeconomic conditions, trends, risks and prospects required by OPIC. The Viewswire subscription allows users to set up customizable email alerts to track countries, industries, and topics of interest. "Country Reports" provide detailed quarterly reports with monthly updates that provide analysis of current political, policy and economic trends with a two-year outlook in nearly 200 countries (including emerging market countries). "Country Commerce" is a guide to the specific operating conditions, commercial laws and business regulations of 60 countries worldwide. "Country Finance" covers 47 countries and provides information on changing financial operating conditions, tax laws, investment opportunities, banking and other financial services in a country. "World Commodity Forecasts provides price forecasts up to two years ahead for 28 commodities. The geographic scope and the nature of the information are suited to OPIC's information needs, providing reliable and crucial information for a wide range of OPIC functions and operations. Licensing via private website shall provide Viewswire access via an IP authentication protocol for general research and reference. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. This is a sole source requirement and if after evaluation the agency determines that there is no other comparable service, an award will be made without further notification. Responses must be received, in writing, within fifteen (15) calendar days of publication of this notice. Interested parties must submit sufficient descriptive literature with their response to prove their capability to satisfy the requirements. Requests must be in writing. No telephone, fax, or email responses will be accepted. The point of contact is Ms. Valerie Settles at 202-336-8554.
