The Bureau of Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of The Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), intends to contract with Infinite Media Concepts Incorporated, 190 E Post Rd Fl 2, White Plains, NY 10601-4918, on a sole source basis. There is no competitive vendor or regulatory agency that provides these datasets. The proposed Contractor developed and owns the propriety and patented hardware, software and algorithms that are used in these products and support the services specifically required for this acquisition; thereby, the proposed source has the sole unique technical and other resources required for this acquisition.

The OFR/FSOC is pursuing subscription data access to Infinite Media Concepts, Inc.

.OFR research requires UCC filing information which has been verified against Dun & Bradstreet business information for every US state.  Mailinglists.com UCC filing data uniquely provides this connection for all new UCC filing and lien information connected to D&B business information for every state.  The nature of compiling all the data from each US state into a single useable format is critical to the effectiveness of this data for research purposes.  I addition to its UCC data, Mailinglists.com can provide over 3 million PPP loan records and over 1 million EIDL records which have been connected to D&B entity records.  . 

The OFR plans to use this product for the continuing mission to support the FSOC (“the Council”) in promoting  financial stability by: collecting data on behalf of the Council; providing such data to the Council and member agencies; standardizing the types and formats of data reported and collected; performing applied research and essential long-term research; developing tools for risk measurement and monitoring; performing other related services; making the results of the activities of the OFR available to financial regulatory agencies; and assisting such member agencies in determining the types of formats of data authorized by Dodd-Frank Act to be collected by such member agencies.

The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one 12-month base period with two 12-month options.

The total estimated value of this purchase order will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.
