- Description
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to use the procedures of FAR Part 13.501(a) to award a fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to Thomson Reuters Markets LLC for subscription to Merger & Acquisitions rumors and announcements data involving companies with securities traded in the U.S. markets with historical back coverage, at a minimum, to January 1, 2005. The SEC requires a delivery mechanism that is easy-to-implement and permits efficient automated ingestion of the data by the SEC. Thomson Reuters Markets LLC's Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Rumors and Announcements data feed has already been integrated into the SEC for ingestion. Replacing the data with another source would require hundreds of hours of integration support and no other sources have been identified that can provide the required data feed through an easily incorporated delivery mechanism into a customer data-mart. Therefore, it is not possible for another source to meet the SEC's requirement. The total estimated value of the contract is below the dollar threshold in FAR 13.5 for the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The anticipated period of performance of the contract is a Base Period of 8 months and four Option Periods of 12 months each. The SEC anticipates awarding a purchase order to Thomson Reuters Markets LLC on or about May 20, 2019. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (23-APR-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
