The Bureau of Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of The Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), intends to make award with Equilar Inc., 1100 Marshall Street, Redwood City, CA 94063, on a sole source basis under authority of FAR 6.302-1, for Subscription Services. The proposed contractor developed and owns the propriety and patented hardware, software and algorithms that are used in these products and support the services specifically required for this acquisition; thereby the proposed source has the sole unique technical and other resources required for this acquisition. The Office of Financial Research (OFR) is seeking access to historical and current executive compensation data for firm management (i.e. CEO's and other named executive officers). Data includes details on use of base salary, bonus, pension plans, performance plans, options, restricted stock, on a year-by-year basis, and including granular information on awards including the strike prices of options and performance plan targets. Tracking of option awards including shares, strike price, and value at award date shall also be included. Data shall contain cash and equity award practices and vesting parameters. Historical data shall contain at least 10 years of data and be updated on a monthly basis. Data must include over 90% of S&P 500 companies and over 75% of Russell 3000 companies. Equilar's Executive Compensation Data (maximum of 10 users) provides access to historical and current executive compensation data for firm management. The Equilar database is continually updated with the latest SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, DEF 14A, and S-1's) and allows users to view source documents. Equilar's "Top 5" solution offers benchmarking with more than 15,000 Top 5 executives from over 5,000 companies including those on the Russell 3000. Researchers may filter data by a range of options including company size, location, and industry and customize data aging, amortization, and regression.
