RiskNet Premium Data Subscription

#SS-OFR-26-019

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 contract with Infopro Digital, Inc., 55 Broad Street, Floor 22, New York, NY 10004, on a sole source basis for RiskNet Premium Data Subscriptions. The NAICs code of 519290 / 1000 employees and PSC code of 7630 are being used to facilitate this notification. There is no competitive vendor or regulatory agency that provides these datasets. 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.

In order to monitor liquidity and prices in Treasury markets, the OFR requires continued access to current scholarly and professional publications providing broad coverage on risk in the financial markets. The principal journals currently in use by OFR supporting active OFR research projects, monitors, and reports are published through an online portal.

The database must provide reporting and analysis of the latest issues in the risk management and derivatives industry. With the exception of a continuously updated online feed on the database website, all of the following publications must be available as online periodicals: Risk, Operational Risk and Analysis, Structured Products, Custody Risk, Energy Risk, Journal of Energy Markets, Journal of Financial Market Infrastructures, Journal of Investment Strategies, Journal of Operational Risk, Journal of Risk, and the Journal of Risk Model Validation.

This variety of content must be provided in one place through a multi-channel platform including Waters, Inside Reference Data, Inside Market Data, Sellside Technology and Buyside Technology. Waters is a feature-driven magazine covering both the business and technology issues of the Buy-Side Technology and Sell-Side Technology brands and their respective markets.

The OFR and FSOC currently use the proposed contractor’s brand name product for the continuing mission to deliver an annual assessment of the state of the U.S. financial system, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be a twelve (12) month base period with the Period of Performance (PoP) from 3/28/2026 - 3/27/2027.

The total estimated value of this purchase order will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice. Telephone responses or inquiries to this Special Notice will not be accepted.
