HeinOnline is a proprietary online research platform with databases that provide periodicals, essential government documents, international resources, case law, and other critical data. SEC staff require access to these databases to aid in meeting the SEC’s mission to maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets and to protect investors. This requires effective monitoring of markets and markets development in areas of finance, economics, and accounting.

The period of performance for the purchase order is anticipated to be one (1) base year and four (4) option years with a total value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshhold. The SEC intends to award a purchase order to William S. Hein & Co. on or about May 15, 2026. This notice is not a competitive request for proposals. A competitive solicitation will not be issued.

However, the government will give consideration to interested parties that identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals by the response date of this notice.
