About this opportunity
The Securities and Exchange Commission awarded a sole source contract to F.T. Specialist Inc. on December 31, 2025, for access to specialized electronic publications focused on the mutual fund and money management industries. The contract, valued at $687,960.00, provides the SEC with subscriptions to three key publications: Board IQ (covering mutual fund board compliance and governance news and analysis), FundFire (money management industry news), and Ignites (mutual fund industry news and analysis with historical data dating back to 1999). The procurement includes a base period of twelve months with four optional twelve-month renewal years, structured to support the SEC's mission of monitoring financial, economic, and accounting developments critical to maintaining fair and efficient markets. The sole source award was justified under FAR 6.302-1, as F.T. Specialist Inc. is the only known responsible source offering these specialized publications, which are not licensed to competing vendors.
