- Description
- INTENT TO MAKE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intends to make a sole source award to Moody's Analytics Services for Economic, Demographic and Housing Data Subscriptions. The authority permitting a sole source acquisition is FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii): under the authority of the test program for commercial items (section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996) or the authority of the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 (41 U.S.C. 428a) - Sole Source (including brand name) Acquisitions. The subscription will consist of a base year plus one option year. According to preliminary market research conducted, Moody's Analytics Services at Economy.com is the sole provider of a subscription to a database that contains the most complete data and tools for analyzing the multi-family housing market nationwide. These data and research products will be used by HUD's field economists in the Economic and Market Analysis Division in their ongoing studies of local housing market conditions by providing much needed market data. Moody's Economy.com provides data and analysis at the metropolitan, regional and state levels and updates information as it becomes available, which is extremely valuable to field economists. The local market analyses are of particular benefit to HUD's field economists, who are responsible for providing evaluations of local housing and community development related proposals. In addition, Economy.com updates their information and databases on a monthly basis which provides timely and real time information to HUD's field economists. The Housing Market Monitor and Précis reports will provide demographic, economic and housing data as well as analyses that are unique to Economy.com and HUD's field economists. The Précis reports combine all necessary data that HUD's field economists need to analyze a housing market into one easy to access report. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent to sole source is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received no later than September 8, 2014, 1PM Central Time. Responses shall be submitted to cornel.d.codner@hud.gov. Responses shall include, at a minimum, the following information: 1. The name of your company; 2. Company DUNS No.; 3. POC name and contact information; 4. The specific product(s) that your company offers that fulfills the same function as the items to be included on this order or evidence that your company is capable of providing a renewal for the specific items mentioned above; and, 5. A description of that product(s) and its overall capabilities. 6. The subject line of the email shall state "Capabilities for Demonstrating Economic, Demographic and Housing Data Subscriptions" or it will be deleted as junk mail. It is your responsibility to demonstrate how your product(s) is capable of providing the same functionality that exists with the Moody's Analytics Services (Economy.com) mentioned above. The Government will not seek additional information from your company if you fail to provide sufficient evidence of having a product capable of meeting the Government's needs. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government's Contracting Officer. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
