About this award
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation awarded a firm fixed-price definitive contract valued at $1.4M to Capital IQ, Inc. (a division of S&P Global Market Intelligence LLC) for a Capital IQ subscription service. The contract, awarded on September 23, 2020, runs through September 26, 2025, and provides PBGC with access to Capital IQ's market intelligence platform for 36 named users. The platform delivers real-time market data, financial information, valuation estimates, global market data, news and events, fixed income information, and credit ratings—services critical to PBGC's evaluation of pension plan termination decisions. This was a sole-source award with no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Capital IQ's unique capability to provide the specialized market intelligence required for PBGC's pension oversight mission.
The contract was structured as a base period of one year with four optional one-year renewal periods. PBGC published a Special Notice of Intent to Award on September 1, 2020, with a short response window, noting that Capital IQ was the only provider offering the necessary service. Capital IQ, Inc. operates as a child entity of S&P Global Inc., a leading provider of financial data, analytics, and research services to federal agencies. S&P Global has established significant federal contract vehicles, including a $5M FEDLINK program contract through the Library of Congress and a $1.4M Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Air Force, both supporting agencies' access to S&P's comprehensive financial data and analytics capabilities.
