This is a firm fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the Defense Health Agency (DHA), a component of the Department of Defense, to Bloomberg Finance LP, a subsidiary of Bloomberg LP. The contract has a ceiling value of $179,856.60 and an ultimate completion date of September 22, 2021. The contract is for the provision of a LEGISLATIVE TOOL, which likely refers to specialized financial data, analytics, and subscription services from Bloomberg to support various government functions such as market oversight, economic analysis, intelligence operations, and regulatory compliance.
Bloomberg Finance LP has a history of providing a wide range of financial data, software, and subscription services to multiple federal agencies through prime and subcontract awards valued at over $50 million. The company holds several prime federal contract IDVs (Indefinite Delivery Vehicles) to deliver these solutions, including a $9.9 million IDIQ from the Department of the Treasury and IDVs from the Departments of Commerce, Energy, and the Executive Office of the President. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting the proprietary nature of Bloomberg's data and software platforms, which often position the firm as a sole-source provider for government clients.
