Quick Summary
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Office of Mission Acquisition Solutions (OMAS), on behalf of the Office of National Security (ONS), has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source contract to PitchBook Data, Inc. for a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Subscription. This platform will provide critical market intelligence and financial data. Responses from interested parties are due June 29, 2026, 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
Requirement
The ONS requires an annual subscription to a web-based platform offering real-time access to company profiles, financials, deal histories, investor information, and industry analytics. This service is essential for market research and acquisition planning. Key features must include full online access, data export capabilities, report generation, advanced search functions, and customer support, without requiring government-hosted infrastructure or installation.
Justification for Sole Source
Market research concluded that PitchBook Data, Inc. is the only vendor capable of meeting the ONS's specific requirements. This is attributed to PitchBook's unique proprietary data, market intelligence, and analytical capabilities, particularly its combination of private-market data, venture capital and private equity transaction information, company profiling, and integrated research tools. No other vendor offers this comprehensive suite without significant cost duplication or unacceptable delays.
