About this opportunity

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced its intent to award a sole-source purchase order to Source Media LLC for subscription to investment publications, with an anticipated award date of August 6, 2026. The SEC has determined that Source Media LLC is the only source capable of reasonably meeting the requirement under FAR Part 12.102, as Source Media's publications provide unique financial industry analysis and reporting unavailable elsewhere, and real-time electronic access is restricted by copyright to Source Media alone. The purchase order will be fixed-price with a two-year base period and a total award value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. This is not a competitive solicitation and no competitive request for proposals will be issued. However, interested parties may identify their capability or submit proposals by the July 16, 2026 response deadline for government consideration.
