The OCC has a requirement to establish a contract for an unlimited number of licenses for access to the SNL Unlimited database, which provides breaking news, financial data, and expert analysis on business sectors-Banking, Insurance, Financial Services, Real Estate, Energy, and Media and Communications-critical to the global economy. The service also provides business intelligence services, Excel integration tools, merger model tools, and SNL news organization updates. The data provided by these subscriptions is unique to SNL Financial LC's research and cannot be obtained via any other source.

This is not a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government will consider responses from all responsible sources received within seven (7) calendar days after the date of publication of this notice. Responses must be supported with clear and convincing evidence to clearly be able to provide the services outlined in this notice. Any responses received will only be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in lieu of the sole source described in this notice, and such determination shall be made at the sole discretion of the OCC.

A redacted copy of the justification prepared for this procurement will follow at a later date.
