9523ZY-18-Q-0209 Amendment 0001 Questions and Responses

RFQ QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES

1. Question: As stated in the “CURRENT OPERATING SYSTEM” section of the RFQ document, CFTC’s requirements for Market Data Pricing real-time are currently being met by the Firm Risk software and your current landscape. Is our understanding correct? If so, please provide clarification why this RFQ and what incumbent product or services being used for Market Data Pricing Feed? If our understanding is not correct, then please provide more information on what are the specific requirements that are not being met within your current landscape, that you are trying to procure through this RFQ?

Response: Your understanding is correct. During market research, the CFTC identified additional vendors have the capability to meet the CFTC requirements. As such, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires the CFTC to seek competition, necessitating the need for the RFQ. The current provider for the CFTC Market Data Pricing Feed is ICE Data Services (formerly Interactive Data and Pricing Reference Data, LLC).

2. Question: What is the timeline for an award on this project?

Response: The planned award is prior to September 25, 2018.

3. Question: Is this project using budgeted money? Or discretionary funding?

Response: This project is utilizing funding from the CFTC budget.

4. Question: Please confirm our understanding that you are looking for real-time data transfer capability from different financial source systems into Firm Risk?

Response: The current provider is providing real-time data. However, Attachment A, Mandatory Requirements Matrix, number 6 states that “The data refresh rate shall not exceed three minute intervals. This is the minimum requirement. Faster refresh rates and real-time will be considered as exceeding the minimum requirement.”

5. Question: What is the approximate data volume? Does the data have to be streamed real-time?

Response: The CFTC believes that vendors can estimate the data volume based on the markets listed in Attachment C (as revised). The approximate data volume for July 5, 2018 was 1,119,493 quotes. The real-time requirement is addressed in Attachment A, 9523ZY-18-Q-0209 Amendment 0001 Questions and Responses

Mandatory Requirements Matrix, number 6 states that “The data refresh rate shall not exceed three minute intervals. This is the minimum requirement. Faster refresh rates and real-time will be considered as exceeding the minimum requirement.”

6. Question: Are you looking at a separate standalone analytics/reporting solution that pulls data from Firm Risk OR does Firm Risk by itself provide analytics and reports? Are you interested in a Analytics solution?

Response: A market data feed is required. The CFTC is not seeking analytics or reporting.

7. Question: Can we provide the data transfer capability as a cloud based solution?

Response: Yes, however Information Technology (IT) security, the CFTC will only consider a cloud based solution that is FedRAMP approved or certified. FedRAMP information is available on the following website: (https://www.fedramp.gov.).

FedRAMP information may be available on other websites. It is up to the Vendor to understand the FedRAMP requirements and if proposing a cloud-based solution, be FedRAMP approved or certified at the time of responding to this RFQ.

8. Question: Please provide a point of contact from Global Risk, with whom we can work for getting the API reviewed and approved.

Response: The Global Risk point of contact is Curt Wichman at (312) 588-1300, extension 114.

9. Is this a new requirement or is there an incumbent vendor? If available, can you please send along the incumbent contract number?

Response: There is an incumbent vendor. The current agreement number is 9523ZY-

17-P-LIB0242.
