- Description
- Cusip Global Services INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE CUSIP Global Services - SS-OFR-17-004 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 make award to CUSIP Global Services (CGS) of CAPITAL IQ, INC, 55 Water Street, 49th Floor | New York, NY 10041-0004 on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, for Subscription Services. The Office of Financial Research (OFR) requires proprietary financial information regarding the classification and proper identification of North American financial instruments by country, company of origin, and type. The CUSIP is a nine-character alphanumeric code that identifies a North American financial security for the purposes of facilitating clearing and settlement of financial trades and is the primary identification code of the financial instrument information that (OFR) requires. Through market research the CUSIP Master File has been found to be the only source to proprietary financial information regarding the classification and proper identification of North American financial instruments by country, company, and type. Given that OFR must be able to automatically identify a financial instrument's country, company of origin, and type in order to sort and classify data for financial research and analysis, CUSIP Global Services (CGS) is the only source of the trademarked, proprietary data. 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 14:00 (2:00 PM EST) November 15, 2016. Responses must be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, Attn: RG/BB.REF SS-OFR-17-004. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows the vendor is capable of providing the requested requirement. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, is more advantageous to the Government, and is received by the aforementioned deadline, Fiscal Service shall make award on a sole source basis to CUSIP Global Services (CGS) of CAPITAL IQ, 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.).
