NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE

Introduction

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office of Mission Acquisition

Solutions (OMAS), on behalf of the Office of National Security (ONS), intends to award

PitchBook COTS SaaS Subscription on a sole source basis.

Intent to Award

This notice announces the proposed acquisition as an intent to award a contract on a non-competitive basis to PitchBook Data, Inc. 901 5th Avenue, Suite 1200 Seattle, WA 98164.

Description of Requirement

Description of Requirement : ONS requires an annual subscription to a commercial, web-based market intelligence and financial data platform that provides real time access to company profiles, financials, deal histories, investor information, and industry analytics to support market research and acquisition planning. The service must include full online access for user (s) license, the ability to export data and generate reports, advanced search capabilities, and customer support for the duration of the subscription, with no installation or government hosted infrastructure required.

Market research was conducted to identify potential sources capable of meeting the

Government's requirement. Upon review of available commercial market intelligence and financial data platforms was determined that while other vendors provide certain business and financial information services, none offer the same combination of proprietary private-market data, venture capital and private equity transaction information, company profiling, analytical capabilities, and integrated research tools required to meet the Government's needs.

Based on the results of this market research, PitchBook was identified as the only source capable of providing the required data and functionality without substantial duplication of cost or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's mission requirements.

Required Capabilities

Required Capabilities: Only one source is reasonably available because PitchBook possesses unique proprietary data, market intelligence, and analytics capabilities that are not available from other sources in a form that meets the Government's requirements. PitchBook maintains a comprehensive database of private and public company information, venture capital, private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and financial market activity, supported by proprietary research methodologies and continuously updated datasets. Access to PitchBook's platform provides specialized information and analytical tools that are essential to support the agency's mission requirements. No other known source can provide the same combination of data coverage, functionality, integration, and timeliness required for this acquisition without substantial duplication of cost, unacceptable delays, or degradation of mission performance.

Period of Performance

Period of Performance: ONS requires twelve (12) months as a base period and four (4) twelve

(12) month option periods for the PitchBook SaaS Licenses Subscription.
