Commercial financial database, Capital IQ - Intent to Sole Source

The Federal Bureau of Investigation published a Special Notice announcing its intent to negotiate a sole source contract with S&P Global for access to the Capital IQ commercial financial database. The FBI requires Capital IQ's extensive financial data and interface capabilities to identify national security risks through enhanced trend and data analysis.

The Notice seeks the Capital IQ Platform to support the agency's monitoring of critical economic trends and information. Interested parties have until April 30th to submit capability statements via email to be considered for conducting a competitive procurement, though awarding the contract sole source remains at the FBI's discretion. Eligible contractors must demonstrate relevant experience providing financial databases and data analytics capabilities comparable to Capital IQ. The Special Notice presents an opportunity for qualified contractors to engage with the FBI on access to extensive commercial financial information for security purposes through either a sole source award or competitive procurement.
