- Description
- INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Factiva, Inc. Dow Jones Factiva and WSJ Pro Data Subscription SS-OFR-22-065 � 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 contract with Factiva, Inc. at 4300 N Rt 1 820 Ridge Rd, Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852, on a sole source basis. There is no competitive vendor or regulatory agency that provides these datasets. The proposed Contractor owns the propriety and patented hardware, software and algorithms that are used in these products and support the services specifically required for this acquisition; thereby the proposed source has the sole unique technical and other resources required for this acquisition. The OFR requires an annual subscription to build financial monitoring tools requested by the FSOC and to carry out its research mission by identifying meaningful macroeconomic and financial measures of risk, liquidity, and market performance for use in training models and measuring information. In-depth coverage of trends in central banking and financial regulations are central to the OFR mission of analysis and policy recommendations to senior leadership regarding systemic financial risks.� The suite of analytical tools in both the Factiva and WSJ Pro portals, such as the speech and social media analysis tools, permit the ongoing monitoring and identification of emerging systemic threats and the social psychology which may be their underpinning and genesis. No other tools for monitoring news and social media provide the background and meta data needed to research both facts and the social currents underlying financial trends and related systemic risk.� The OFR plans to use this product for the continuing mission to support the FSOC (�the Council�) in promoting� financial stability by: collecting data on behalf of the Council; providing such data to the Council and member agencies; standardizing the types and formats of data reported and collected; performing applied research and essential long-term research; developing tools for risk measurement and monitoring; performing other related services; making the results of the activities of the OFR available to financial regulatory agencies; and assisting such member agencies in determining the types of formats of data authorized by Dodd-Frank Act to be collected by such member agencies. The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be a twelve (12) month base period with four (4) option periods of twelve (12) months each. The total estimated value of this purchase order will exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. 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 04/21/2022. Responses must be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, Factiva /Attn: CJ � CW.
