The Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service intends to award a sole source contract to FactSet Research Systems Inc. for a data subscription that supports the Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC). The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain comprehensive data on trade credit networks and supply chains to analyze the propagation of financial shocks and interconnectedness among firms, particularly during banking crises. This data is crucial for understanding how financial distress can spread through trade credit chains, which is essential for effective economic analysis. Interested contractors must submit their qualifications and capability statements electronically by September 25, 2024, to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, as the contract is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and will have a duration of one twelve-month base period with four optional extensions.
