About this opportunity
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is seeking to award a sole-source contract to Portfolio Media, Inc. for subscriptions to various Law360 publications, including Securities, White Collar, Fintech News, Cybersecurity & Privacy, and Pulse DC. The CFTC requires up-to-date information on lawsuit filings, litigation, settlements, verdicts, and court news in these subject areas to support its mission. The agency has determined that the aggregated information provided by the Law360 subscriptions from Portfolio Media, Inc. is the only source that can satisfy its requirements in an accessible manner.
The proposed contract will have a base year with four option years, for a total period of performance of five years. CFTC will consider responses from all responsible sources received by May 8, 2024, but a determination to compete the requirement will be solely at the discretion of the government. The anticipated award date is on or around June 1, 2024. The contract will be awarded under FAR 6.302-1(a) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), as the agency has determined that Portfolio Media, Inc. is the only responsible source.
