Description
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) intends to increase the value of its existing contract with Bloomberg Financial L.P on a sole-source basis for three (3) additional Bloomberg professional terminals. The anticipated modification will increase the value of each of the remaining four annual contract periods. The ultimate expiration date of the contract is June 30, 2030.
CFTC uses a variety of information sources to maintain surveillance of commodity market activity. There is no single source that provides all the information that CFTC needs for market oversight. Bloomberg is one of those sources and is a unique source for its proprietary financial data.
Additionally, Bloomberg is the only vendor that offers a shared terminal service (as opposed to individual licenses). The Government intends to procure this requirement under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) because “the property or services needed by the executive agency are available from only one responsible source and no other type of property or services will satisfy the needs of the executive agency.”
THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS nor a solicitation of offers. However, the Government will consider written responses from all responsible sources received by 10:00 AM ET, November 18, 2026. Written responses must include sufficient information to establish capability to fulfill the requirement.
Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purposes for future Market Research requirements.
No formal solicitation package is available. The Government anticipates award on or about November 30, 2026. The Government will not be responsible for any costs of preparation in response to this announcement.
