    Intent to SS.pdf
    The Bureau of Fiscal Service intends to grant a sole source contract to Muzan LLC for their Trade and Quote (TAQ) data on behalf of the Office of Financial Research (OFR). This decision stems from the absence of competing vendors capable of providing comparable datasets required for detailed analysis of intra-day trading activities across multiple exchanges, including NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX. Muzan’s TAQ data features extensive trade information, including timestamps, corporate actions, and mappings essential for monitoring liquidity and financial risk in equity markets, thereby supporting the OFR Market Structure Program. The contract is projected to span twelve months with four additional option periods. Notably, awarding this contract is crucial as it allows OFR to leverage a historical dataset purchased from Muzan in 2015, which would not be compatible with data formats from alternate vendors. Interested contractors are invited to submit proposals by September 13, 2024, detailing their qualifications and capacities, with the understanding that lack of sufficient responses would result in the award being made to Muzan LLC. Direct inquiries or requests for solicitations are not accepted, emphasizing the exclusive nature of this contract opportunity.
