Intent to Sole Source - Dealogic Datasets

The Bureau of Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of The Office of Financial Research (OFR), intends to contract with Dealogic LLC, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 49th Floor New York, New York 10105-0302 on a sole source basis. There is no competitive vendor or regulatory agency that provides these datasets. The proposed Contractor developed and owns the propriety and patented hardware, software and algorithms that are used in these products and support the services specifically required for this acquisition; thereby the proposed source has the sole unique technical and other resources required for this acquisition.

OFR requires long-term trend information on principal parties, mergers and acquisitions, and trends in the primary syndicated loan market pursuant to monitoring risks across broad market sectors. Dealogic Debt Capital Market Analytics and Loan Analytics are a competitive benchmarking system covering the Global Debt Capital Market and the Global Syndicated Loans Market. Reporting packages include company rankings by industry and region, deal lists, and profiles of individual transactions. Dealogic M&A Analytics database provides a comprehensive view of merger and acquisition activity worldwide, enabling clients to identify macro level trends in the industry. Detailed research applications include assessing performance against competitors and refining the understanding of competitors' banking relationships with clients. The M&A database incorporates details on over 610,000 global M&A transactions since 1995. M&A Analytics transactions include: Public offers, Open market, purchases, Stock swaps, Buy-outs, Privatizations, Recapitalizations, Share buy-backs, and acquisitions.

DCM and Loan Analytics provide comprehensive and real-time coverage of all debt capital market transactions, syndicated loan market transactions, and deal structure globally since 1980 (international and domestic debt transactions, corporate bonds, Asset and Mortgage Backed Securities, preferred stock, global investment grade and leverage financings, including specific markets such as Trade Finance, Shipping Loans, Project Finance). Dealogic M&A Analytics monitors trends in capital allocation, and for monitoring CEO confidence (M&A activity declines when CEOs are less confident). Additionally, Dealogic M&A combines all known public information about the deal onto a comprehensive deal profile, giving researchers a holistic view of historical and current deals to stay abreast of trends across the entire market and analyze transactions, regions, and industries efficiently.
