- Description
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a single source basis to Cowan Research LC, 2015 Clark Avenue, Ames, IA 50010-4813, for access to Eventus, a service that performs event studies via the Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS) platform. The NAICS code is 511210. The contracting officer has determined that Cowan Research LC is the only source that can reasonably meet the SEC's requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b). No other source has been identified that performs event studies in which abnormal returns for specific corporate actions or events can be computed using CRSP stock databases or user-collected data from any source, and which is enhanced by a variety of utility programs and additional WRDS authored web queries. Therefore, Cowan Research is the only source that can meet the SEC requirement. The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one (1) year with four (4) one (1) year options. The total estimated value of this purchase order is less than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The SEC intends to award a purchase order to Cowan Research on or about June 9, 2016. This notice is not a competitive request for proposals. A competitive solicitation will not be issued. However, the government will give consideration to interested parties that identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals by the response date of this notice.
