- INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Capitol News Company, LLC d.b.a. Politico, SS-CFPB-16-016 The Bureau of Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), intends to contract with Capitol News Company, LLC d.b.a. Politico, 1000 Wilson Blvd., 8th Floor, Arlington, VA 22209, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, for a subscription to Politico Pro. Politico has been identified as the only source capable of providing the required content in an arrangement that suits the needs of the CFPB. The mission of the CFPB is to educate the consumer as a first line in defense against abusive practices; to enforce consumer financial laws via the supervision of banks, credit unions and other financial companies; and to gather and analyze available information to better understand consumers, financial service providers, and consumer financial markets. In order to meet the above listed missions, the CFPB is establishing a library to serve as a focal point for reference materials that not only show current events, but events through the course of history that have shaped the financial environment as we know it today. POLITICO Pro is the only source with real-time and valuable behind the scenes information that is essential for CFPB to respond quickly and plan a strategy on the most pressing issues out of Washington D.C. Pro has over 100 policy specific beat reporters who are experts in their field, providing subject matter expertise in fourteen different policy areas. Due to such a large reporting staff, POLITICO Pro is able to provide more granular coverage of the back and forth discussions that occur before a law or regulation is finalized. CFPB users will have their own individual accounts to receive email alerts in real-time on the political risks that impact the market they work in. Each user has access to a list of 100+ subtopics within each policy area selected by CFPB. The list shapes what issues; committees, agencies, and/or individuals subscribers wish to receive real-time updates & analysis on. In addition, users will receive morning and afternoon newsletters, breaking news alerts, and have access to POLITICO Pro's Congressional Directory, which contains contact information on Hill staffers and Members. Since the CFPB conducts financial market research, it was found that the content contained in Politico Pro's product is crucial to the successful completion of the CFPB mission. Access to all of Politico's news stories will allow CFPB users to receive up to the minute alerts which will result in thorough research of a wide range of information critical to creating accurate and effective work products, thus enabling CFPB to make well-informed decisions in regards to marketing, management, MIS, POM, accounting, finance, and economics. The identified contractor, Capitol News Company, LLC d.b.a. Politico, is the publisher and is currently the only source for subscription. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by December 11, 2015 @ 2 pm. Responses shall be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, Attn: TAshcroft, TWhite A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
