The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network intends to award a sole-source proucurement with Factive, Inc (Dow Jones) for Factiva and Watchlist Subscription renewal fees.  The Government intends to awarda  one year, no option periods.  FinCEN requires the software to meet their  requireements for public affairs related research and acts as a source for validating analytical research along with other commercial sources.  Factiva and Watchlist uniqu8ely7 satisfy requirements in two areas-Politically Exposed Persons and Media Articles.

A sole source is intended for this order.  Factiva is proprietary software developed by Factiva who exclusively support the application.  This application is already developed and in use by FinCEN.  This is a renewal of an annual subscription.  No solicitation document is available. 

FinCEN will consider all affirmative responses recieved no later than August 25, 2011 at 3:00 PM ET.   Affirmative responses shall be accompanied by sufficient documentation to clearly show the ability to provide the requirements at terms more advantageous to the Government.  A request for more information will not be considered an affirmative response.  If no affirmative written response is received, that clearly deonstrates the abiltiy to meet all the requirements, and that is more advantageous to the Government, we intend to make a sole-source award to Factiva.  Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
