About this opportunity
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source Contract to Portfolio Media Inc. for a Law360 subscription service with a response deadline of August 28, 2026. The OCC justifies sole sourcing under FAR 12.201-1 based on the vendor's unique combination of proprietary data, analytical rigor, examiner-oriented reporting, and retrieval tools specific to banking and financial sector regulation, litigation, and compliance monitoring; the OCC states no alternative source provides the required mix of technical and supervisory capabilities to meet its mission-critical needs. The subscription period runs from September 14, 2026 through September 13, 2027, with four optional renewal periods. Although designated as sole source, the OCC will consider unsolicited responses from other responsible sources received before the deadline and will evaluate whether clear and convincing evidence supports conducting a competitive procurement instead; any such determination rests solely with the OCC.
