SNL Europe was found to be the single source to provide institutional level European specific data coverage on European financials and markets of quality that meets OFR standards. Market research was conducted and another provider of similar data was located. However, this provider provides only aggregations of the required data and not institutional level data for analytical purposes as required by OFR. In addition, early vintage data (prior to 2001) was not electronically archived and retrieval is not automated, nor is the data assessable in a database. OFR requires the data be assessable through automated methods. A request for more information will not be considered a response. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates the ability to meet all the requirements, we intend to negotiate a sole-source award. Telephone inquires will not be accepted. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, the Government will consider responses received by the response date.
