The sole source justification is based on The Financial Times being an internationally-renowned newspaper that offers unique copyright-protected articles with independent and global coverage of events impacting the SEC's work that are not available through other sources. The contract includes a Base Year and one Option Year term structure, though the specific contract value was not disclosed in the notice. The SEC Office of Acquisitions determined that the anticipated price will be fair and reasonable based on market research price estimates, and the justification was posted in accordance with FAR Part 13.501(a)(1)(iii).
