The contracting officer intends to award this contract non-competitively to IBISWorld Inc., a large business based in Venice, California, under the authority of 10 USC 2304(c)(1). IBISWorld Inc. has been determined to be the only responsible source capable of satisfying the requirement, as it is the exclusive provider of the proprietary IBISWorld Research Report Database subscription.

The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed Price award covering a base period from September 24, 2026 through September 23, 2027, with one option year extending through September 23, 2028. All contractors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at sam.gov and comply with Buy American Balance of Payments Program provisions requiring domestic end products. The requirement falls under NAICS code 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services) and PSC code 7A21 (Business Application Software).
