About this opportunity
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency has awarded a sole-source task order to Bloomberg Finance L.P. for Bloomberg Professional Anywhere licenses on September 24, 2026, under a limited sources justification.
The agency cited FAR 6.103-1(c)(2)(ii)—sole manufacturer, developer, and exclusive distributor—as the statutory basis. DCSA requires Bloomberg Professional Anywhere to deliver real-time, global commercial intelligence for evaluating risk within the defense industrial base, including Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) investigations. The platform must integrate financial structures, global news, litigation materials, and corporate leadership data into a single unclassified interface, aggregate detailed ownership and interlocking relationship data down to a five percent foreign ownership threshold, map corporate supply chains, and project financial sustainability. Critically, the platform must guarantee absolute user query anonymity with no search activity tracked, retained, or accessible to third parties. DCSA has relied on this specialized software since 2016 under the current contract (HS002121C0009) awarded September 23, 2021.
A formal Sources Sought Announcement (HS002126QE042) issued May 22, 2026, yielded twenty-one vendor submissions by June 3, 2026. Rigorous capability assessments determined all respondents technically unacceptable due to critical data omissions, geographic limitations, architectural failures, or inability to meet mandatory vetting and foreign ownership threshold requirements. Extensive market research confirmed no alternative commercial vendors or authorized third-party resellers are available.
The base period runs September 29, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with four sequential one-year options extending through June 30, 2031. The estimated total contract value is redacted. Work is performed on behalf of the Entity Vetting Directorate and Counterintelligence Directorate using FY26 O&M funds.
