From the notice

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) intends to increase the value of its existing contract with Bloomberg Financial L.P on a sole-source basis for three (3) additional Bloomberg professional terminals. The anticipated modification will increase the value of each of the remaining four annual contract periods. The ultimate expiration date of the contract is June 30, 2030. CFTC uses a variety of information sources to maintain surveillance of commodity market activity. There is no single source that provides all the information that CFTC needs for market oversight. Bloomberg is one of those sources and is a unique source for its proprietary financial data. Additionally, Bloomberg is the only vendor that offers a shared terminal service (as opposed to individual licenses). The Government intends to procure this requirement under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C.…

Excerpt from the agency's notice. Read the full text and attachments on SAM.gov.

What you'll need to bid

  • A quote or proposal form. Usually the SF-1449 (or SF-18 for small quotes), filled in and signed, with a price for every line and option year.
  • Active SAM.gov registration. Free from the government, and it must be active before award. It can take a few weeks, so start early (how to register).
  • Acknowledgment of every amendment (SF-30). Missing one is the most common reason a good offer gets thrown out.
  • Prices that respect the wage rules. Many federal service contracts include a Service Contract Act wage determination setting minimum pay and benefits for each job category. Price your labor from it.
  • Past performance and a short technical write-up, if the notice asks for them (no past performance yet?).
  • A clear staffing and quality plan, if the notice evaluates technical approach: who does the work, how you'll cover absences, and how you'll check quality.

Always check the notice itself: the instructions in the solicitation win over any general rule.
