The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intends to award a fixed-price purchase order to S&P Global Limited for a subscription to leveraged loan data. This requirement encompasses intraday bid-offer pricing, analytics, liquidity measures, and essential reference data for leveraged loan facilities globally. The agency has determined that S&P Global Limited is the sole provider capable of meeting the full technical requirements. This notice, issued under solicitation number 50310226Q0136, reflects an update to the contractor's name following a merger involving Markit North America, Inc.

The anticipated period of performance consists of one base year and four option years, with the total award value expected to remain below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Performance will take place in Washington, DC, and the SEC intends to finalize the award on or about May 30, 2026. While the agency does not intend to issue a competitive solicitation, it will consider submissions from interested parties that demonstrate the capability to fulfill the requirement by the response deadline of May 18, 2026.

This special notice is categorized under NAICS code 519290, Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services, and PSC 7A21, IT and Telecom - Business Application Software (Standardized) (Perpetual License Software). The primary point of contact for this action is Jeremy Garrett. No attachments are associated with this announcement, and the government's rationale for a sole-source award is based on the determination that no other identified source provides all required data.
