USITC sole source to Fastmarkets for market data subscriptions.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) intends to award a sole source contract to Fastmarkets Global Limited for subscription-based access to their market intelligence and data analytics platform. The service provides critical pricing data, forecasts, and analysis for commodities and metals markets, which supports the Commission's trade investigations and research. No other vendor can meet the requirement due to the proprietary nature of Fastmarkets' data and the need for continuity with existing workflows. The period of performance is one base year plus four option years.
