- Description
- Intent to Sole Source. The Department of Treasury's Bureau of Public Debt, on behalf of the Office of Financial Research (OFR), intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(2), with Moody's Analytics, Inc. DBA Inc, Moody's Kmv, 7 WTC at 250 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10007 for a Default & Recovery Database - weekly data subscription. The contract will be issued for a base year and four option periods. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act established the OFR within the Treasury Department to improve the quality of financial data available to policymakers and facilitate more robust and sophisticated analysis of the financial system. Moody's Analytics, Inc. is the only known data source of information who provides a product that includes proprietary calculations for profitability of default which provides the data needed which will allow OFR to accurately, and separately, esimate the likelihood of default, loss given default, and overall expected loss. Moody's Default & Recovery Database (DRD) provides over 417,000 individual debt securities. Moody's DRD contains the default history starting from 1920 to present. DRD also provides universal identifiers, such as CUSIPs and SIC codes with Primary keys enabling complex querying, classifications for debt type, rating type, and region as well as flags. Accurate probability of default estimates are essential to determining minimum captial adequacy requirements, developing a precise internal ratings process, and establishing a standardized approach for OFR to assess credit risk. A request for more information will not be considered an affirmative response. If no written response is received, that clearly demonstrates another product has the ability to meet all OFR's requirements, and that is more advantageous to the Government, we intend to negotiate a sole-source award to Moody's Analytics, Inc. Telephone inquires will not be accepted. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by June 26, 2013 by 2:00pm ET. Responses shall be submitted to psb3@bpd.treas.gov, Attention J. Board/L. Stanley.
