About this file
This document is a Sources Sought Notice (Solicitation Number 50310225Q0061) for a Quality Assurance Scanning Hosted Service for SEC.gov. The Securities and Exchange Commission seeks a subscription-based automated service to conduct comprehensive website quality assurance scans, with specific requirements including routine automated scanning, ability to rescan individual pages, error reporting, web traffic data integration, page performance testing, and generating actionable reports. The service must locate and resolve issues such as misspellings, outdated content, broken links, accessibility problems, duplicate content, and search engine optimization.
The Sources Sought Notice outlines 12 detailed technical requirements and requests potential vendors submit: a summary/cover letter, company information, product description, verification of SAM.gov registration, business size/socio-economic status, and a price estimate covering a 12-month base period with two 12-month option periods. Responses are due by 12:00 PM ET on May 30, 2025, to Pleshette Brown via email. The government aims to determine if the acquisition can be set aside for small businesses and develop an acquisition strategy. Notably, this is a market research announcement and not a formal solicitation, with submissions being voluntary and becoming government property.

Sources Sought Notice: 50310225Q0061 Attachment 1 – Draft Requirements List
Quality Assurance Scanning Hosted Service for SEC.gov
The SEC requires a subscription to a hosted service to conduct quality assurance scans of the SEC.gov website and prepare reports of issues it discovers. The software needs to locate and resolve correcting misspelled words, updating out of date content, fixing broken links, remediating accessibility issues, expiring duplicate content, optimizing content for search engine indexing, and resolving issues that cause pages to load slowly on SEC.gov include. It is possible to do these sorts of quality checks manually on one page or file at a time, but SEC would like to utilize an automated service that performs these scans on a routine basis and generates actionable, easy to interpret reports. Another major goal of this hosted service is to obtain inventories of pages and files that comprise the SEC.gov website, and relationships between them (e.g., which pages link to a given SEC.gov page).

1. Product is offered as a hosted service
