NOTIFICATION OF THE SEC’S INTENT TO AWARD A SINGLE SOURCE PURCHASE ORDER THE DEAL

Description of Requirement:

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to The Deal for access via the Internet to current information on private investments in public equity (PIPE) transactions and small cap financing transactions conducted in the U.S. capital markets by either domestic or foreign issuers.

This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12.102. The Contracting Officer has determined that The Deal is the only source reasonably capable of satisfying the Government’s requirement.

The required services include access to a proprietary financial transactions database with more than 15,000 in-depth placement profiles of PIPEs, 144As and special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) transactions.

This requirement is a follow-on acquisition to an existing subscription service currently utilized by the SEC in support of ongoing market monitoring, enforcement support, financial analysis, and research activities. Continuity of access to the proprietary database, historical records, analytical structure, and reporting methodology is essential to avoid disruption to agency operations.

The SEC intends to award a purchase order to The Deal on or about August 30, 2026. The anticipated period of performance includes a 12-month base period and four (4) option years, if exercised.

The total award value of the purchase order is anticipated to be below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The anticipated period of performance includes a 12-month base period and four (4) option years, if exercised.
