- Description
- Justification Special Notice PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is issuing this special notice of intent to solicit and negotiate solely with Bloomberg Finance LP, 731 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 for the purchase of six (6) Bloomberg Anywhere subscriptions, under Requisition Number DJF-15-0600-PR-0030813 and Requisition Number DJF-15-0600-PR-0030914. A determination not to compete this proposed Order was made pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a Single Source. For purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract deem only one source reasonably available. Bloomberg Finance LP is the only company offering a subscription meeting the FBI's requirement to access real time financial information for the private and public sector. Specific characteristics of the internet based subscription product that limit the availability to one source are the capabilities provided through one platform, a robust database of private and public sector financial information, and news and analysis in real-time data. Bloomberg offers this service in one product needed by the FBI to analyze the environment for corruption and gather intelligence that is used to identify, develop, and resolve cases. The FBI requires this service 24 hours a day and seven days a week; the Bloomberg Anywhere subscription meets this requirement. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this item is 522320. This notice will be distributed solely through the General Services Administration's Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Website (www.fedbizopps.gov). Interested parties are responsible for monitoring the FBO site to ensure they have the most up-to-date information about this acquisition. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement or submit proposals to this office by email to the Points of Contact stated on this notice. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Telephone requests will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement. The Government contemplates a contract award for one year under both requisitions.
