The notice, posted on August 8, 2025, indicates the government's plan to procure Fitch Ratings PRO subscription services without competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(C)(1) and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The anticipated contract will be firm fixed price with a base year and four option years, specifically supporting the Corps Water Infrastructure Finance Program (CWIFP). This procurement falls under NAICS code 561450 for Credit Bureaus and PSC code R611 for Credit Reporting administrative support services.
