Description
INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Politico Pro - SS-OFR-15-0021 The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of the Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) intends to make award to Politico Pro, 1100 Wilson Blvd., Suite 601+, Arlington, VA, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, for legal entity reference data. OFR Researchers require access to Politico Pros product for accurate, up-to-date hyper specific policy news service that offers its subscriber's exclusive insider coverage on news stories, morning newsletters, afternoon briefings, and customized breaking news alerts on the Hill votes, committee meetings, newly introduced legislation, and financial services regulations. The service provides the ability for users to track laws and regulations before they are finalized by providing early and valuable behind-the-scenes information. While there are other news services that provide tracking of legislation and lobbying efforts such as CQ Roll Call, Amercian Banker, and BGOV, none provide the level of granular coverage that Politico Pro provides. Politico Pro has a uniquely structured reporting staff that has 5-10 reporters dedicated to each policy area. Due to such a large reporting staff, Politico Pro is able to provide more granular coverage of the back and forth discussions that occur before a law or regulation is finalized. Politico Pro is the only source with the early and valuable behind the scenes information that is essential for OFR to respond quickly and plan strategy to newly introduced legislation. This coverage cannot be provided by comparable news outlets or vendors. Politico Pro and the information therein can only be purchased through Politico Pro representatives; it is not available anywhere else. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice. Telephone responses or inquiries to this Special Notice will NOT be accepted. Fiscal Service will consider written responses received no later than 1400 (2:00pm ET) February 11, 2015. Responses must be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, Attn: MWOMACK, MFORBES.REF SS-OFR-15-0021. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows the vendor is capable of providing the requested requirement. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, is more advantageous to the Government, and is received by the aforementioned deadline, Fiscal Service shall make award on a sole source basis to Politico Pro. Qualified contractors must provide the following: 1. The name and location of your company, contact information, and identify your business size (Large Business, Small Business, Disadvantaged Business, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, HubZone, etc.). Please ensure contact information includes the name of the point of contact, email address, and telephone number should the Government have questions regarding individual responses. 2. Whether your services are available through a Government contract vehicle or Open Market. 3. A brief capabilities statement (not to exceed 5 pages) that includes a description of your company's standard line of business, as well as a list of customers your company currently provides these products/services for. 4. DUNS Number. The following file extensions are not allowable and application materials/data submitted with these extensions cannot be considered:.bat,.cmd,.com,.exe,.pif,.rar,.scr,.vbs,.hta,.cpl, and.zip files. Microsoft Office compatible documents are acceptable. No other information regarding this Special Notice will be provided at this time. This notice does not restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. All firms responding to this notice are advised that their response is not a request that will be considered for contract award. All interested parties will be required to respond to any resultant solicitation separately from their response to this notice.
