## Description

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") intends to negotiate and award a sole-source contract for the procurement of various commodity and financial data feeds from S&P Global Platts. The Government intends to procure this requirement under FAR 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. CFTC intends to award a contract with a one-year base period, and four one-year options, for a total period of performance of five years.

The information contained in the S&P Global Platts subscriptions is proprietary to S&P and CFTC knows of no alternative source that can provide the information offered in the subscriptions below. The list of the subscriptions that CFTC intends to procure from S&P is as follows:

European Gas Daily Package Gas Daily Gas Daily Inside FERC Bidweek Watch add-on Inside FERC's Gas Market Report add-on Inside FERC's Gas Market Report Package Market Data - Petroleum (Bloomberg) Market Data - Petroleum (ProphetX) Market Data Dynamic (Bloomberg) Market Data Dynamic Market Data Dynamic (ProphetX) Market Data Metals add-on to PMA (Bloomberg) Megawatt Daily add-on Megawatt Daily Package Metals Alert (Bloomberg) Metals Daily Oilgram Price Report Package Without access to this data, CFTC’s regulatory operations would be significantly impeded and there would be an increased risk to achieving CFTC’s mission.

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS nor a solicitation of offers. However, the Government will consider written responses from all responsible sources received by 5:00pm ET, July 1, 2025. Written responses must include sufficient information to establish capability to fulfill the requirement. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government.

The Government anticipates award on or about July 15, 2025. The Government will not be responsible for any costs of preparation in response to this announcement.
