Brand Name - Capital IQ Software

The Federal Bureau of Investigation Redstone Arsenal Field Office is conducting a sole-source acquisition of Capital IQ financial data services from S&P Global Market Intelligence with an estimated value of $3,591,617.59 and a response deadline of October 9, 2026. This procurement is restricted to the named vendor under 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) because Capital IQ is proprietary to S&P Global and unavailable through resellers or third parties. The FBI's Counterintelligence and Espionage Division and Security Division require unlimited access to Capital IQ's database covering over 4.4 million companies and 2.9 million professionals globally, including integrated datasets, proprietary screening functions, industry-specific analytics, advanced transaction research capabilities, and API access. The Foreign Investment Unit and Acquisition Security Unit will use the platform for company screening, financial transaction analysis, and Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) transaction support. Market research confirmed that competing platforms such as PitchBook and Eikon offer partial financial data but lack Capital IQ's integrated structure, transaction-screening capabilities, and granular deal-specific information required for FBI intelligence analysis and national security operations. The contract structure includes one base year (September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027) plus four option years through September 29, 2031, with an additional six-month extension option. The Contracting Officer will conduct cost and technical analysis prior to award and monitor the market for competitive alternatives in future acquisitions.
