FERC requires next-day and next-month natural gas pricing data in database format with front-end and back-end access via automated procedure such as an API. Commission staff uses Argus indices to confirm liquidity in tariff references and to monitor for pricing anomalies indicative of liquidity or quality degradation affecting rate tariff fairness. Argus is being added to FERC's existing subscriptions to Bloomberg, ICE, Platts, and NGI to complete comprehensive market index coverage.
The procurement is classified as a commercial item under FAR Parts 12 and 13.5, with award based on lowest-priced quote. NAICS code is 511120 (Periodical Publishers); PSC is 7630.
