Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses (large and small) to respond to this sources sought synopsis. : 7A20 IT and Telecom - Application Development Software (Perpetual License Software) NAICS Code: 513210 (Applications development and publishing, except on a custom basis) Size Standard: $47.0M This notice is in support of a proposed Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source contract for continued access to the Pitchbook Software Tool.

Requirements. Description of Requirement: DTRA requires an annual subscription to a commercial, web-based market intelligence and financial data platform that provides real time access to company profiles, financials, deal histories, investor information, and industry analytics to support market research and acquisition planning. The software must include full online access for user(s) license, the ability to export data and generate reports, advanced search capabilities, and customer support for the duration of the subscription, with no installation or Government hosted infrastructure required. Market research was conducted to identify potential sources capable of meeting the Government's requirement. Upon review of available commercial market intelligence and financial data platforms, it was determined that, while other vendors provide certain business and financial information services, none offer the same combination of proprietary private-market data, venture capital and private equity transaction information, company profiling, analytical capabilities, and integrated research tools required to meet the Government's needs. Based on the results of this market research, PitchBook was identified as the only source capable of providing the same combination of data coverage, functionality, integration, and timeliness required for this acquisition without substantial duplication of cost, unacceptable delays, or degradation of mission performance.
