This opportunity is a sole source procurement by the Department of the Interior for daily market data reports from Argus Media Inc. on behalf of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR). - The requirement is for a subscription to Argus Media's daily published reports covering crude oil and U.S. coal markets. - Reports must include spot market prices, volume-weighted averages, lists of deals, and full market commentary. - Coverage includes U.S. Gulf Coast, midcontinent, west coast, Canada, and Latin America for crude oil; and U.S. coal markets for coal. - Delivery of reports is required via API to support audit compliance. - This is a follow-on requirement with a base year and four option years (total of five years). - The procurement is sole source to Argus Media Inc., with no other vendors or OEMs mentioned. - No specific part numbers or quantities are provided; the main deliverables are the daily reports and API access. - The estimated contract value is not specified, but similar market data subscriptions typically range from $100,000 to $500,000 over five years. - Potential competitors could include S&P Global (Platts), IHS Markit, and Wood Mackenzie, but the justification indicates only Argus Media can meet the requirement.
