About this file
This document is a Justification and Approval for Sole Source, which authorizes the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to award a sole source contract to the Financial Times for access to their news content.
The key details are:
- DFC employees require greater access to Financial Times news content for research, reference, and current awareness purposes.
- A search of the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) indicates that all recent awards to the Financial Times have been on a sole source/single source basis.
- DFC will continue to monitor for potential competitive services, but sole sourcing to the Financial Times is customary at this time.
- The document includes the required certifications and approvals from the Contracting Officer, Technical Cognizance Supervisor/Manager, and the Managing Director of the Office of Acquisition.
