Quick Summary
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for continued access to and support for its Private Equity Reporting System (PERS). This is a follow-on effort for a commercial, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract with a one-year base period and four option years. Interested parties must submit a capability statement by June 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement.
Purpose & Requirement
DFC requires uninterrupted access to its existing, mission-embedded PERS to manage and report data for private investment fund holdings within its Office of Investment Funds (OIF) portfolio operations. The system is critical for collecting, storing, analyzing, and reporting fund-level and portfolio-company-level data, including transactions, holdings, cash flows, fair market value, reconciliation, and customized reporting.
Scope of Services
The requirement includes continued access to the PERS, which must support private capital calculations and analytics such as IRR, contributions, distributions, NAV, and VAR. Associated support services are also required, encompassing configuration, interface development, integration, testing, training, documentation, organizational change management, data conversion, and ongoing operational support.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Commercial, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Duration: One-year base period (July 15, 2026 - July 14, 2027) with four additional one-year option periods.
- Set-Aside: None specified.
- Statutory Authority: This sole source action is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901, citing only one responsible source.
Sole Source Justification
Market research indicates that the current contractor is the only identified source capable of satisfying DFC's need without significant disruption. The existing PERS is highly customized, integrated, and embedded within DFC's operating environment, containing unique configurations, coding, and workflows. Transitioning to another provider would incur substantial costs, operational risks, and delays impacting critical portfolio monitoring and reporting. DFC plans to continue market research for future requirements to explore potential competition.
Response & Deadline
This notice is not a request for proposals. Interested parties may submit a capability statement via email to justine.codling@dfc.gov by June 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Responses will be reviewed solely to determine if the requirement should be competed. The Government will not reimburse any costs for preparing or submitting capability statements.
