- Description
- INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Global Financial Data #SS-OFR-22-063 The Bureau of Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of The Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), intends to contract with Global Financial Inc., 29122 Rancho Viejo Rd # 215, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, on a sole source basis. There is no competitive vendor or regulatory agency that provides these datasets. The proposed Contractor developed and 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 is looking at historical equity valuations across global markets going back to 1896, since the inception of the Dow Jones. This requires centuries old data in order to conduct the analysis. GFD is the only known source of the data that goes historically back enough. Additionally, the OFR is also interested in historical sovereign bond yields and inflation data across developed markets going back centuries, so we can understand very long-term trends in nominal and real yields. Finally, in order to accurately test the effect of spillovers of returns and volatility to various markets, a comprehensive set of global time series is required for regions in Asia, South Americas and Europe. GFD is the only database tracking these hard-to-find time series. In summary, a long history (centuries) of data is ideal for assessing historical cycles and for analyzing the current environment of record low interest rates. The data must minimally include: Global Financial Database (enterprise license, unlimited users) including US Stock Database The OFR and FSOC currently use the proposed contractor�s brand name product for the continuing mission to deliver an annual assessment of the state of the U.S. financial system, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. � The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one 12-month base period with four 12-month options. 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 04/26/2022. Responses must be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, Global Financial Data /Attn: CJ � ED. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows your company is capable of providing the content described in this notice. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no written response is received by the aforementioned deadline that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, and that is more advantageous to the Government, Fiscal Service will make award on a sole source basis to Global Financial Data Inc. 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.
