Global Banking Resource and Banker's Almanac

FinCEN requires an online database subscription for banking information to support various functions, including Bank Secrecy Act Data research. The primary goal is to obtain reasonably priced data subscriptions with wide access for all FinCEN analysts, moving away from expensive, transferable licenses that incur high administration costs and unpredictable usage. The desired solution should accommodate up to 30 regular users with additional logins to prevent constant license transfers, alongside usage tracking for accountability and future planning. Key data requirements include identifying and linking entities in transnational business, bank corporate family trees, beneficial ownership, global metrics, and historical data like SWIFT BICs and SSIs. The system needs robust search capabilities by various identifiers, leadership, ownership, and location. It must provide detailed reports, downloadable data, and investigative services, with a period of performance from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2030. The solution must support government criminal investigations and bulk data searches, ensuring compliance with FATF guidelines and offering historical SSI information.

The document, identified as 20341226Q00003, outlines a multi-year procurement for BankCheck Team Licenses, primarily for FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). The procurement spans a base period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, and four optional one-year periods extending through December 31, 2030. Each period includes one BankCheck Team License for up to five concurrent users, with an optional line item for five additional individual licenses. The team license is described as a non-concurrent access model, meaning only one user can access it at a time, though FinCEN can have five active team users. Usage tracking and monthly reporting by team license and query count are also specified. This RFP is critical for FinCEN to maintain its operational capabilities related to financial checks and compliance, highlighting the government's need for specialized software licenses with specific user and tracking functionalities.

This attachment to RFP 20341226Q00003 outlines the specifications and price sheet for BankCheck licenses across a base period and four option periods, spanning from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030. The RFP details the procurement of 10 individual licenses and 5 team licenses for BankCheck annually. While the document specifies quantities, all listed prices are $0.00, suggesting that this is a placeholder or a preliminary outline where pricing information is yet to be provided. This structure allows for multi-year planning and potential renewals, typical in government contracts for software or service subscriptions.
