Notification of the SEC's Intent to Award a Single Source Purchase Order to Money Media Inc.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a single source basis to Money Media Inc. for subscription to BoardIQ. The contracting officer has determined that Money Media is the only source that can reasonably meet the SEC's requirement in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-1(b). The subscription is required by the SEC for analysis and reporting on compliance and governance in the mutual fund industry. The publications of BoardIQ are under copyright, so it is not possible for another source to meet the requirement. The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one (1) Base Year and four (4) Option Years and the total value of the order shall be below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The SEC intends to award a purchase order to Money Media on or about January 27, 2014. 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.
