About this opportunity

The Treasury Common Services Center (TCSC), acting on behalf of the Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), has issued an Intent to Sole Source Special Notice for Preqin Data Products subscriptions. This notice, posted on April 2, 2026, by the Department of the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service, announces the government's intention to contract exclusively with Preqin Ltd, a London-based firm, on a non-competitive basis. The justification for sole sourcing centers on Preqin's ownership of proprietary and patented technology, hardware, software, and algorithms that are uniquely required for the government's needs. The notice asserts that no competitive vendor or regulatory agency can provide equivalent datasets, making Preqin the only viable source for this acquisition.

The primary objective of this acquisition is to provide the OFR and FSOC with comprehensive financial market data necessary to fulfill their mandate under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, specifically for delivering an annual assessment of the U.S. financial system. The government requires three integrated Preqin products: Private Capital Cash Flow (for private equity data), Private Debt Online (for private debt and credit information), and Hedge Fund Online (for hedge fund analytics and performance data). Interested contractors must submit their responses electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov by 12:00 p.m. EST on Monday, April 13, 2026, and include company information, contact details, business size designation, UEI Number, specific product details, and a capabilities statement not exceeding five pages. The contract period consists of a twelve-month base term with three optional twelve-month renewal periods, with total estimated value not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Eligible submissions must use Microsoft Office or Adobe-compatible formats, and cannot include executable files or compressed archives.

Notice text

The Treasury Common Services Center (TCSC), on behalf of The Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), intends to contract with Preqin Ltd, 1st Floor. Verde. 1- Bressenden Place, London SW1E 5DH, 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 Office of Financial Research (OFR) requires Preqin Data Products, and pursuant to its mandate, the OFR is interested in pursuing a wide-scope of private equity data including fund manager profiles, institutional investors, fund performance, fundraising, fund terms and conditions, deals and exits, funds evolution, assets under management, past investments, portfolio modeling, new funds, firms, portfolio strategy, investment focus, and cash flow predictions. In addition, the OFR requires private debt data to include future investment plans, allocations, active searches and mandates, investment criteria, funds raised/raising, private debt deals and exits across the globe, searchable by portfolio companies, equity sponsors, investment strategy and focus, target size, performance and deals, transparent fund-level data, benchmarks by strategy and geographic focus, horizon IRRs, fund manager relationship, deals facilitated, and buyer and seller relationships. Preqin Private Debt Online meets the OFR's private debt data and Private Capital Cash Flow data meet the OFR’s private equity data needs.

The OFR’s hedge funds data needs include in-depth info of individual funds, allocation of hedge funds, types of investors, tracking performance in portfolios, fund performance, current trends by fund type, structure focus, fund-by-fund terms and conditions, industry level statistics and term and conditions, current and open mandates, and compare to other market segments by strategy, fund structure, and geography using benchmarks. Preqin Hedge Fund online meets the OFR’s hedge fund data needs.

The OFR and FSOC will use the proposed contractor’s brand name product for the continuing mission to deliver an annual assessment of the state of the U.S. financial system, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
