Notice of Intent to Award to Investment Industry Benchmarking Services

The Small Business Administration intends to award a sole source fixed-price contract to Investment Industry Benchmarking Services, for online investment data subscriptions.

The SBA requires continued service from a vendor which provides 24 hour, 7 days per week access to online risk and analytic services necessary for analysis and oversight of the exiting SBIC licensees and for high level decision making on the program. In order to protect taxpayer interests, OII requires access to the highest level, most accurate data available.

The period of performance shall be 12 months from the date of award, plus four (4) option years. The authority for this award is FAR 13.106(b), soliciting from a single source; Purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.

Interested organizations may submit their capability statements and qualifications for the provision of this requirement. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct future competitive procurements. The Government does not intend to pay for any information received in response to this notice. This is a Notice of Intent, not a solicitation.
