2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:

BACKGROUND:

PBGC requires access to detailed historical financial data for publicly traded companies in the

U.S. This data will be used for the annual update of the Pension Insurance Modeling System

(PIMS) plan sponsors database for Single-employer plans and for other researches performed by

PRAD and/or PBGC. Historically, this data has been accessed through S&P's Research Insight database management program and S&P's Compustat database of financial and pension information on publicly traded companies from the SEC Form-10K.

OBJECTIVES:

The contractor shall provide the Policy, Research and Analysis Department (PRAD) with access to the key financial variables for Single-employer plan sponsors for the annual update of the plan sponsors database and for other PRAD analysis (e.g. Sponsor Bankruptcy analysis). Specifically, PRAD needs common key financial variables historically for a minimum of 25 years (or since company existence). These variables are primarily from companies’ Form 10K and/or 10Q filings. This information is mission critical to PBGC and PRAD, and is being used for 1) updating PBGC's Pension Insurance Modeling System (PIMS) databases, and 2) research and analysis.

The data variables need to be easily accessible and allow for mass download for hundreds of companies. Data should be accessible via a web browser or with an easy to use user interface.

Currently PIMS contains 400 plan sponsoring firm data. Data is automatically extracted for the entire list of companies via a batch process. In addition, PRAD periodically requires data for additional companies and/or other financial variables for research purpose.

Required content must include, but is not limited to the following data variables:
