- Description
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a single source basis to A.M. Best Company, 1 Ambest Rd, Oldwick, NJ, 08858, 7000, for data on insurance company portfolio holdings and trades as disclosed in the annual and quarterly Schedule D statements of insurers in the U.S. Property/Casualty and Life/Health markets. The NAICS code is 511120. The contracting officer has determined that A.M. Best Company is the only source that can reasonably meet the SEC's requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b). No other source has been identified that enables download of the entire universe of firms, identifies and filters out data errors, and matches Schedule D information to each firm's financial statements, which allows for linking together the individual firms belonging to the same parent company. Therefore, A.M. Best is the only known source for data compiled in the format necessary for the SEC's economic analysis. The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one (1) year with four (4) one (1) year options. The total estimated value of this purchase order is less than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The SEC intends to award a purchase order to A.M. Best Company on or about May 18, 2016. This notice is not a competitive request for proposals. A competitive solicitation will not be issued. However, the government will give consideration to interested parties that identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals by the response date of this notice.
