1 Statement of Work

Section 1. Background The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that carries out audit, evaluative and investigative assignments in addition to providing legal analyses to Congress. GAO performs work at the request of Congress and under the Comptroller General’s authority. In carrying out its work, GAO analyzes and evaluates executive branch agency programs.

The requirements for this database purchase support analyses in various areas including but not limited to financial markets and interest rates, transportation industry financing, and ongoing efforts to monitor and report on global financial and macroeconomic developments, including in the Eurozone and emerging markets, and global monetary policy. In addition, GAO also anticipates a need to monitor and report on developments in U.S. treasury markets, especially as they are related to debt ceiling events and “floating rate notes.” More generally this data would support research in the following areas: financial markets and institutions; housing;

income security; international economics; monitoring various areas of the economy affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the federal response to the pandemic; global financial and fiscal developments; and work conducted by other GAO teams requiring access to financial or other time series data and industry information.

GAO often needs large database resources to provide documentary or quantitative evidence to support analytic findings. Examples of these analytic findings are found on the agency’s web site: https://www.gao.gov.

Section 2. Purpose GAO requires comprehensive, multiple-file, quantitative and qualitative data in addition to electronic access to an information resource or database. The electronic database will provide information to assist and support GAO in completing congressionally requested analyses that can cover a wide variety of topics.

Section 3. Scope of Work The data must be a commercially available, off-the-shelf product, with bulk data downloads of flat-data files as described below:

A. Technical Requirements

A.1. System Components and General Functions

A.1. a. Product Access and Usage Specifications The vendor must, at a minimum, provide the following requirements:

• Accessibility via an Internet URL or a desktop application as well as an application added-on to Microsoft Excel.

• Ten (10) licensed user accounts.

• A database that offers single user accounts that are assignable to specific individuals and accessible anywhere.

Additionally, single user accounts must be:

• Concurrent for the appropriate number of licensed users.

Document Number: 05GA0A24Q0007 Page 6 of 25

• Easily transferable should a user leave or retire from the agency, or is no longer staffed to a relevant engagement as determined by GAO.

• Accessible from the account holder’s workstation at GAO headquarters, a GAO field office, or alternate work site if the account holder is teleworking or working remotely (not in a GAO facility).

• Data that is accessible via a single product interface.

• Add-ons that are compatible with GAO’s VDI server and cloud-based environment.

• Ability to download data to Excel.

• Data and information accompanied by white papers or other documentation showing the sources and origin of the indexed database content.

• Upon request to the vendor, disclosure of any known data limitations, including reliability and accuracy for documentation purposes.

• Documented understanding that data and information resulting from this contract will be included, with proper acknowledgement, in GAO audit documentation, GAO reports and testimony. All data used to support GAO engagements will be saved in GAO’s records repository and managed in accordance with GAO’s records retention schedule.

• Documented understanding that the GAO must have the ability to retain downloaded files and data and save them in the agency’s content management system for auditing file retention purposes for five to seven years.

A.1.b. Optional Product Access and Usage Specifications The database may offer terminal accounts. Single user accounts may be assigned as terminal accounts instead of single user accounts. If terminal accounts are offered, terminal accounts must allow multiple users access to the single terminal location.

Terminal accounts must allow GAO to add or remove any number of users at its discretion as needed.

A.1.c. Functional Requirements Additional database functionality must, at a minimum, include:

• No limitations on the number of searches performed in the database.

• No limitations on downloads of data sets.

• For statistical analysis purposes, data sets that are easily downloadable in multiple formats like Excel, comma or tab delimited, or other common electronic format.

• The ability for users to download data (such as historical economic, country, regional, vendor generated, and market) in a format suitable for analysis in Excel and other statistical software packages (e.g., SAS, Stata, R, etc.).

• The ability to complete data downloads from within the Microsoft Excel interface, via an Excel Add-On tool.

• Specifically, users must be able to program a search strategy from within Excel. Excel will then call the data from the product to be downloaded into the open Excel workbook.

• The ability to create datasets using historical data across countries, regions, financial institutions, and other companies. An inventory of standard and customizable reports for individual corporations or groups of corporations.

• The ability for the user to use search parameters from an outside source and run them against database content— for example, run a list of stock tickers from NASDAQ listings against the database to retrieve additional corporate information.

• A search engine that allows for search strategies based on a single data element name, combinations of element names, industry data norms such as stock ticker symbol, CUSIP, NAICS code, GICs Code, etcetera, or via plain language with intuitive, context-driven, search term suggestions.

• For trace and verification purposes, the vendor’s product data must be accessible by account holders and shared with non-users.

• For GAO trace and verification purposes, the product must have point and click documentation leading the user from the data element to the source document showing primary data source information and other metadata for the indexed data sets.

• The vendor must provide access to high quality analytical products, tools, editorial content, and subject matter expertise.

This content must include research products that are timely and relevant to GAO’s areas of analysis such as reports that cover economic, legal, and regulatory developments in the banking, finance, and insurance industries.

• Upon request, the vendor must facilitate interactions between GAO staff and the vendor’s experts and contributors to the vendor’s research products.

A.2. Specific Tasks and Components The online product must, at a minimum, provide access to comprehensive economic and financial time-series data with breadth and depth across global asset classes including but not limited to, equities, bonds (including emerging market and sovereign debt), municipals, commodities and other financial vehicles such as options, convertibles, warrants, mortgage-backed securities and structured products. Worldwide coverage must also include funds and trusts, interest and exchange rates, money markets, credit default swaps, indices and market statistics.
