- Description
- COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (see FAR Subpart 13.5), as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Background The Government Accountability Office (GAO) requires a comprehensive data source that maintains and updates domestic and global financial metrics to support GAO's congressionally mandated and requested studies. The database will provide information that will assist GAO in completing analyses requested by Congress in the areas of financial markets and interest rates, automotive and air industry financing, and ongoing efforts to monitor and report on global financial and macroeconomic developments, including in the Eurozone, emerging markets, and global monetary policy. In addition, GAO also anticipates a need to monitor and report on developments in U.S. treasury markets, especially as they are related to debt ceiling events and new "floating rate notes." Objectives GAO intends to purchase a database accessible via an Internet URL, a desk-top application, or an application added-on to Microsoft Excel, or a combination of the three methods. GAO intends to purchase 5 licensed concurrent user accounts. The database will provide information to assist GAO in completing the analyses requested by Congress in the areas of financial markets and interest rates, automotive and air industry financing, and ongoing efforts to monitor and report on global financial and macroeconomic developments, including in the Eurozone, emerging markets, and global monetary policy. More generally these data would support research in the following areas: financial markets and institutions; housing; income security; international economics; efforts to update the Comptroller General and GAO Executive Committee on global financial and fiscal developments; and select work conducted by other GAO teams requiring access to financial time series data. See Attachment.
