- INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Crane Data. SS-OFR-14-0083 The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of the Office of Financial Research (OFR) and Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), intends to contract with Crane Data, 112 Turnpike Road #303, Westboro, MA 01581, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 6.302-1, for access to information on the money market fund market in terms of fund ranking and performance data for the major families of funds and fund types. Crane Data has been identified as the only source capable of providing the required content in an arrangement that meets the needs of the OFR and FSOC. Crane Data provides a comprehensive database containing aggregated as well as individual fund information readily accessible through ad hoc queries on elements of the database with reports rendered in readily imported excel spreadsheets without further conversion into existing analyst models. The data is formatted internally in a unique "nested doll" format wherein the top of the line product has the capabilities and information of all lower level data sets. The information required is both current and intermediate term money market fund data in a top down configuration. This configuration lends to ease of manipulation in a variety of complex analytical tools. Crane Data covers domestic funds and "offshore" funds denominated in US dollars, including European Institutional US denominated funds. The only product with the top down nested doll configuration, and fully transparent dataset (to Excel) is Money Fund Wisdom offered by Crane Data. This is a proprietary product only available from Crane Data. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice. Telephone responses or inquiries to this Special Notice will NOT be accepted. Fiscal Service will consider written responses received no later than August 7, 2014 at 2:00 pm EST. Responses must be submitted electronically to PSB3@bpd.treas.gov, Attn: BBURNWORTH/GH. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows the vendor is capable of providing the requested data. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, is more advantageous to the Government, and is received by the aforementioned deadline, Fiscal Service shall make award on a sole source basis to Crane Data. Qualified contractors shall provide the following: 1. The name and location of your company, contact information, and identify your business size (Large Business, Small Business, Disadvantaged Business, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, HubZone, etc.).

This notice does not restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. All firms responding to this notice are advised that their response is not a request that will be considered for contract award. All interested parties will be required to respond to any resultant solicitation separately from their response to this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
