Sources Sought Notice: 50310225Q0059 Attachment – Draft Statement of Work
Fixed Income Securities Database, and Bond Purchases and Sales by Insurance Companies
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires a service that provides historical fixed-income securities data for corporate issuers, on a web-accessible research platform that enables the data to be retrieved and analyzed. The historical range of the data shall date back at least 15 years. The data shall include issue and issuer characteristics as well as post-issuance information. More specifically, the data shall include, at minimum:
Issuer information, including industry codes, ticker and exchange listings, issuer names and parent relationships
Issue-specific information, including full call, put and sinking fund schedules, and call frequency codes; floating rate formulas, current rates and coupon schedules; NRSRO credit ratings; convertible debt information; underwriters, trustees and fiscal agents; unit deals and warrant information
Post-issuance information, including bond acquisitions, sales and redemptions, NRSRO ratings changes, and bankruptcy and interest default details
These data shall be updated annually and provided via a web-accessible research platform, where the data are stored and can be searched and analyzed.
The SEC must have a complete understanding of all data services, data feeds, and databases acquired from the Contractor. To that end, the Contractor is required to provide sufficient documentation that adequately explains ALL data elements provided through the Contract. At a minimum, the documentation must account for the following:
1. All Data Elements provided by the Contractor to include:
a. The unique data element name
b. Description of the meaning of the data element
c. Data type (text, number, date, true/false, etc.), size (character length), and if needed, any special representation that applies to the data element such as the format
(MMDDYYYY)
d. Explanation of data values or constraints when appropriate. For example, a data element that only contains 3 possible values; 1 = Yes, 2 = No, 3 = Not Applicable. This would not be necessary for the values of data elements that are unconstrained. Examples of constraints also include required, conditional, null, etc.
2. All Data Tables provided by the Contractor to include:
a. Table Name
b. List of data elements contained in the table
c. Identification of table key(s)
3. Data Model or Schema that adequately depicts the whole database, data dependencies, and the relationships amongst the data elements and tables

a. Original data source or location
b. Any staging storage areas
