Notification of the SEC’s Intent to award a single Source Purchase Order to Vital Knowledge Media

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order to Vital Knowledge Media, LLC for access to a market commentary service. The required services include access to proprietary market commentary and analysis from a team with trading experience. This requirement is a follow-on acquisition to an existing subscription service currently utilized by the SEC. The anticipated period of performance includes a 12-month base period and four option years, if exercised. • The SEC is looking for a market commentary service that provides email alerts and analysis to support market monitoring efforts. • The service should be able to distill numerous market and economic events into critical takeaways in real-time. • Continuity of access to the proprietary content and analytical resources is essential to avoid disruption to ongoing research, market monitoring, and financial analysis activities.
