- Description
- Justification and Approval The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) intends to make a sole source award to Debtwire (Mergermarkets) for annual online subscription services as a necessary source of credit quality, debt obligation, and financial news information for the PBGC insured inventory. A subscription to Debtwire (accessed via the Internet) gives the Corporate Finance & Restructuring Department (CFRD) Financial Analysts access to information that is necessary for CFRD to assess the credit quality of pension plan sponsors and assist in the decision of whether or not to terminate a pension plan. Debtwire updates financial news and debt ratings on a regular basis, as events occur that impact the credit quality of the company. There are a couple of independent research providers, including the rating agencies (Moody's and S&P). What differentiates Debtwire is their intelligence on the latest advisory engagements and intercreditor negotiations. No other competitor offers that information. The contract action is being sought under the FAR 6. 302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The anticipated Period of Performance (PoP) is a 12-month Base Period of December 23, 2014 through December 22, 2015, four (4) 1-year options December 23, 2015 through December 22, 2016, December 23, 2016 through December 22, 2017, December 23, 2017 through December 22, 2018, and December 23, 2018 through December 22, 2019. This is not a request for proposals but a Notice of Intent. No solicitation will be issued. Interested parties may, however, request further information (no later than 8:00AM Eastern Standard Time, on November 10, 2014) by email to the Contract Specialist, Julian O. Boggan Sr. at boggan.julian@pbgc.gov.
