About this file
This document is a sole source justification submitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for a subscription to fixed income credit ratings data from a sole source provider. The SEC requires continued access to this proprietary credit ratings data to support its mission of protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation. As no other firm can provide exactly the same credit ratings data, conducting a full and open competition would not be possible. The sole source justification was approved by the Head of Contracting Activity at the SEC, allowing for a noncompetitive contract award to the sole source provider of this fixed income credit ratings data.
