While the specific funding agency is not explicitly stated, the consistent theme of systemic risk analytics suggests potential involvement from financial regulatory or research-oriented federal entities. The task orders indicate a concentrated period of activity between May 2011 and September 2012, with all delivery orders executed within this timeframe sharing a common parent contract and maintaining a consistent approach to research network consulting services.
