Portfolio Media has been identified as the only source capable of providing the required content that suits the needs of the CFPB. The mission of the CFPB is to educate the consumer as a first line in defense against abusive practices; to enforce consumer financial laws via the supervision of banks, credit unions and other financial companies; and to gather and analyze available information to better understand consumers, financial service providers, and consumer financial markets. In order to meet the above listed missions, the CFPB is establishing a library to serve as a focal point for reference materials that not only show current events, but events through the course of history that have shaped the financial environment as we know it today. Portfolio Media's Law 360 provides; complete coverage of every major litigation development in U.S. federal district courts, every major lawsuit filed against the world's 2,000 top companies, every major opinion handed down in the U.S. federal courts, every major development in class action litigation, and every major initiative by state, federal, and international legislatures. Law 360 provides daily updates across such disciplines as; appellate, banking, bankruptcy, class action, energy, government contracts, as well as many more. In addition to the above, Law 360 provides in-depth features about trends in every practice area listed above, interviews with the makers of policy, corporate counsel, and top lawyers. Law 360 also provides surveys of major litigation trends and rankings of practice groups by size and market share. Since the CFPB conducts financial market research, it was found that the content contained in Portfolio Media's Law 360 is crucial to the successful completion of the CFPB mission. The identified contractor, Portfolio Media, is one of the leading providers for legal news that covers an entire spectrum of topics every business day. Their collection of discipline specific legal reviews and in depth expanded coverage makes them the only firm capable of providing the content required by the CFPB. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by 1400 (2:00pm ET) August 12, 2013. Responses shall be submitted electronically to PSB3@bpd.treas.gov, Attn: BBURNWORTH.
