Factset Research Systems Inc.

FactSet Research Systems Inc., operating as FactSet, delivers proprietary financial data, market intelligence, and analytical software to federal regulatory, financial oversight, and research agencies as a prime contractor on 42 purchase orders and definitive contracts, competing exclusively on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis with no set-aside designation across its federal footprint.

FactSet is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut. The vendor's federal work centers on subscription licenses to specialized financial databases and software platforms—CUSIP (Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures) enterprise licenses, global market pricing data feeds, supply chain intelligence via its proprietary Revere data feed, and workstation-based software for financial research and analysis. Representative examples include a $2.7 million global market pricing data subscription awarded by the Securities and Exchange Commission (September 2025, through August 2030) covering equities, fixed income, futures, and options pricing with historical depth and support for 32 concurrent API connections; an $879 thousand CHIPS platform market and financial database solution from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (August 2026, through August 2027) providing financial statements, company ownership profiles, supply chain intelligence, and AI-powered search across 20 licensed users; a $734 thousand software license award from NIST for the Department of Commerce CHIPS Program Office (February 2024, through August 2026) to support financial analysis of grant and loan applicants; and a $1.8 million domestic and global financial institutions data service subscription from the Government Accountability Office (September 2023, through September 2028) supporting 250 concurrent user accounts. FactSet also holds recurring CUSIP renewal and assignment service contracts with the Treasury Department's Bureau of Fiscal Service and Departmental Offices, and supplies FactSet Premium Workstations and proprietary datasets (SharkRepellent, Ownership, ETF Datafeed) to the SEC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Customer concentration skews toward financial regulators and Treasury agencies. The top five customer agencies account for 64% of recent awards: the Treasury Department's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency leads by award count (9 awards, $3.6 million combined potential value), while the SEC dominates by potential value (6 awards, $4.3 million). The Government Accountability Office, NIST, and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support round out the top tier by dollars, each representing $1.1 million to $1.8 million in combined potential value. Fifteen agencies have worked with FactSet across the award history shown, reflecting sustained demand for its specialized financial databases and regulatory compliance data across the federal financial and civilian research sector.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 11 awards, declining to six awards in 2024 and four in 2025, with two awards in 2026. FactSet carries 12 awards (combined potential value $5.7 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely prime work — 100% of awards are direct contracts to FactSet with zero subcontracted dollars — and the vendor has not subcontracted to other primes in the federal market captured here. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal federal service-contract activity above the $150,000 threshold: SCI-reportable invoicing of $1.2 million across FY2022–FY2025, with peak invoicing of $632 thousand in FY2024 corresponding to roughly 0.1 FTEs delivered. Derived government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts run a median of $2,390 per hour with senior labor through $3,778 per hour, reflecting FactSet's positioning as a specialized software and data vendor rather than a high-volume labor services provider. All SCI work was self-performed with no subcontractor engagement. FactSet competes for federal work exclusively under full-and-open solicitations, with multiple agencies noting sole-source justification under FAR 6.302-1 based on the specialized and non-competitive nature of its proprietary data feeds and identification systems.
