About this opportunity

This Special Notice announces the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's intent to award an order to Refinitiv US LLC on a sole source basis for weekly LPC Gold Sheets subscriptions. The OCC requires these subscriptions to obtain weekly reporting and analysis of trends in the loan and bond markets.

The Special Notice provides details of the anticipated order, which has a base period of performance from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2027, consisting of an initial term of 12 months plus four 12-month option periods. Interested parties have until August 12, 2022 to respond if they believe they can meet the requirement, however a competitive procurement will only be considered at the OCC's discretion as the information in the LPC Gold Sheets is proprietary to Refinitiv. Respondents must clearly demonstrate their ability to provide the outlined services. The Special Notice is not a request for competitive quotes but an advance notice of a planned sole source award to Refinitiv.
