About this opportunity
The U.S. International Trade Commission has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on December 11, 2025, announcing its plan to award a contract to S&P Global, Inc. on a non-competitive basis. The agency seeks annual subscriptions to IHSMarkit's Chemical Economic Handbook (CEH) and the Directory of Chemical Producers (DCP). This determination was made under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The NAICS code for this requirement is 519130, Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals. No competitive solicitation will be issued for this requirement.
The USITC requires the CEH and DCP subscriptions to support its mission of analyzing global chemical industry information, including supply chains, export-import data, and country of origin details. The subscriptions will provide 100-200 page reports containing unique qualitative and quantitative data on hundreds of chemicals produced worldwide, with archival data spanning up to 20 years, which the agency determined is not available from alternative sources. The contract period of performance runs for a base year from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions through 2028. Interested parties may submit information within five days of the December 11, 2025 posting date for government consideration, though this announcement is informational in nature and no formal proposals are being solicited. Inquiries should be directed to Contracting Officer Meaghann Peak at meaghann.peak@usitc.gov.
