Notice of Intent to Sole Source to S&P Global Market Intelligence, LLC

The Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source to S&P Global Market Intelligence, LLC, posted on January 30, 2026. This special notice announces the agency's intention to award a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis to S&P Global Market Intelligence, LLC for the procurement of Market Intelligence Energy Desktop and Feed Subscription services. The contract will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and is classified under NAICS code 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services). This notice is issued for informational purposes to allow other potential vendors an opportunity to demonstrate comparable capability before the sole source award is finalized. The notice provides a fifteen-calendar-day response period following publication, after which the agency may proceed with the sole source award if no viable alternatives are identified.

The objective of this procurement is to secure market intelligence subscription services for energy sector analysis and data monitoring over an anticipated one-year base period with four optional one-year renewal periods. All interested contractors must submit written responses by the February 13, 2026 deadline to Hind.Kanine@hq.doe.gov, with the notice title included in the subject line. Responses must be supported by strong and convincing evidence that clearly demonstrates the submitting company's capability to meet the stated requirements; requests for documentation alone will not be considered affirmative responses. Any contractor deemed eligible to fulfill the requirement may participate by providing substantive evidence of comparable capability within the fifteen-calendar-day window. If no responses demonstrating comparable capability are received by the deadline, the Department of Energy will proceed with the sole source award to S&P Global Market Intelligence, LLC.
