About this opportunity

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau seeks to acquire Average Prime Offer Rates mortgage pricing data on a weekly basis through a sole source contract with Intercontinental Exchange. The data must cover 30-year and 15-year fixed rate loans as well as adjustable rate mortgages, and be provided in standard formats via secure file transfer for a base period of February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024 with up to four one-year option periods. The solicitation was issued to meet the Bureau's needs for determining qualified mortgage rates, higher-priced loan thresholds, and generating Home Mortgage Disclosure Act rate spread variables.

There is no set-aside designation. The NAICS code is 519130 and PSC code R699. The anticipated total contract value over the five year period is $615,000. The data will be used to replace the Primary Mortgage Market Survey and maintain an archive of acquired data. Interested vendors must be able to provide total discount points, origination fees, annual percentage rates, and acknowledge receipt of Amendment 0001 questions by November 17, 2022. The Bureau expects to make one award by the end of 2022.

The Bureau is responsible for publishing weekly Average Prime Offer Rates
(APOR) values, a measure of what qualified borrowers would pay for a mortgage.
Three primary uses of APOR are (1) to determine if a mortgage is a Higher Priced
Mortgage Loan under Regulation Z, (2) to generate the rate spread variable in
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, and (3) to determine whether a
mortgage is a Qualified Mortgage (QM) under the Bureau’s Ability to Repay (ATR)
rules. The Research, Markets, and Regulations (RMR) Division seeks to acquire
APOR data, the right to use the mortgage pricing data to replace the PMMS for a
period to include the base period and up to four additional government option
periods, and the right to use and maintain an archive of data acquired by the
Bureau during all base and executed option periods (if exercised) to generate and
publish the weekly APORs.  

There was a previous notice under RFP 9531CB22R0014 that was canceled. The requirement has an increased data need as included in the attached RFP.

CFPB Market Research has only identified one vendor that packages and sells the data. Please see attached Justificaiton.
