About this opportunity

Broward County, Florida is issuing a Request for Information on Bloomberg Professional Services to determine sole-source or sole-brand justification, with responses due July 31, 2026. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment, but rather a market-availability inquiry to inform the Director of Purchasing's sole-source designation decision.

The RFI seeks vendor responses on two capability areas. First, vendors must confirm their ability to provide an industry-standard software platform delivering real-time global market data, breaking news, advanced analytics, and secure communication networks for traders, analysts, and portfolio managers. Second, vendors must demonstrate ability to offer a broker-neutral portal integrating transparent trade execution, market pricing, inventory, analytics, research, and investment-community communication under a single platform, with specific emphasis on Fixed Income user requirements.

Prospective vendors may respond through the electronic bidding system (BPRO) either confirming their service capabilities with detailed explanations and supporting documentation, or submitting written challenges to the proposed sole-source designation with supporting evidence that comparable commodities or services are available from multiple suppliers and meet Broward County's needs. The Director of Purchasing retains sole authority over the final sole-source or sole-brand determination, weighing whether competing solutions meet the County's requirements.
