Justification and Approval for: Single Source Brand Name

1. REQUISITION NUMBER: ITC-OARS-26-0082 ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE: $0.00

2. Description of supplies or Services Required to Meet Agency:

Renewal subscription to CEICData - 10 licensed seats. CEICdata provides a collection of state supplied data from around the world with emphases on emerging markets and then assign a unique search and presentation interface to locate discrete economic data across millions series of data points.

3. Justification for Limited Competition:

There is no peer equivalent and no alternative source that matches CEICdata’s integrated capabilities. Although many underlying data series can be obtained separately from national sources, CEICdata’s strength is its unified platform, which consolidates extensive and varied datasets and provides efficient tools for navigation, comparison, and analysis. This greatly reduces the effort required to locate and harmonize disparate data. We have not identified a comparable resource, and Commission economists and analysts rely on CEICdata for its significant practical value.

5. Requiring Officer's Certification:
