Organizacion Internacional De Comisiones De Valores

Organizacion Internacional De Comisiones De Valores (IOSCO) is an association of organizations that regulate the world's securities and futures markets. It develops, implements and promotes adherence to internationally recognized standards for securities regulation. Its membership regulates more than 95% of the world's securities markets in over 115 jurisdictions, making it the global standard setter for the securities sector.

IOSCO's primary service to the U.S. federal government is providing membership to agencies like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Through firm fixed price purchase orders, the CFTC has paid IOSCO annual membership fees ranging from around $52,000 to $60,000 per year. These sole source contracts facilitate the CFTC's participation in IOSCO's global cooperation and standard-setting activities related to securities and futures regulation. The multi-year contracts have periods of performance typically spanning a single calendar year with no set-aside designations or subcontractor arrangements. IOSCO's role as the sole provider of membership services to this international regulatory body underpins the CFTC's critical mission responsibilities in cross-border oversight of securities markets.
