Financial Data Sources subscription

The SEC is conducting market research to identify commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) subscription providers that can deliver a comprehensive suite of financial data sets for the agency’s analysts, economists, and enforcement staff. The agency seeks a single vendor (or a consolidated platform) that can supply mission‑critical datasets—including private company financials, corporate ownership structures, M&A transaction intelligence, and market data—through a unified interface, with the ability to add optional enhancements such as entity‑resolution and workflow automation. Respondents must submit a short cover letter, a capability narrative, a completed requirements matrix questionnaire, and a price estimate covering one base year plus four optional years. The solicitation is informational only; no funds are allocated for response preparation, and the SEC may follow up with one‑on‑one meetings or demos. • Goal: Identify a COTS subscription that meets the SEC Draft Requirements List (Attachment 1). • Preference for a single provider or a consolidated platform delivering interoperable data sets. • Required deliverables: data coverage for global private companies, corporate ownership, M&A, market data, and related analytics. • Submission deadline: 3:00 PM EDT, September 16 2026. • Question deadline: 3:00 PM EDT, August 31 2026. • Contract term: 1 base year + up to 4 option years (total up to 5 years). • No funding is guaranteed; this is a Sources‑Sought/Information request.
