This purchase request is a Sole-source procurement. Bloomberg will provide Bloomberg: Barclays Capital (Barclays Capital) which will continue as an integral part of the active and passive global portfolio management process through the 2012 PBGC fiscal year. Since the Indices are proprietary to Barclay's Capital no other service provider can distribute certain analytics and information about the Barclay's Indices, without purchasing the service or Barclay's expressed permission.

This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ), but a Notice of Intent. No RFQ will be issued. Interested parties may, however, request further information (no later than 09:00 AM November 10, 2011) by email to Contract Specialist (Lawrence Durden) at [email protected].
