Description

Treasury Common Services Center (TCSC), on behalf of The Office of Financial Research (OFR) and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), intends to make award to The Oxford Economics 5 Hanover SQ FL 8 New York, NY 10004 for Global and US Research & Data Suite.

The Office of Financial Research has a need to obtain approval to award a firm fixed-price contract with Oxford Economics for the purchase of Global and US Research & Data Suite.

OFR will use these reports for our ongoing statutorily mandated monitoring of the state of the US financial system - especially investment and financial market developments -- to support Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and the Treasury, as well as their mandated conduct of essential research to maintain readiness to respond to FSOC requests. In conjunction with the datasets on which the Research and Analysis Center relies, the value of this dataset is compounded in providing visibility into the US financial system.

A key differentiator here is Oxford provides information on the U.S. Treasury markets – such as the auctions that Capital Economics does not provide. Additionally, Oxford Economics has information on over 8K cities including detailed information about the US metro areas. Capital Economics, with about 70 economists, does offer the depth of coverage. Additionally, Oxford updates this information on a monthly basis, while other vendors typically updates their expectations on a quarterly basis. The biggest impact is that other vendors provide limited US Metropolitan forecasts and research pieces, while Oxford provides 380+ areas of specific coverage. This goes beyond state level but local level and can be used in analysis of home building, CMBS, and Muni markets.

Additionally, Oxford Economics allows individuals to reach out directly to the analyst while other vendors require a chat bot that provides an answer at a later time.

The OFR is tasked with identifying potential economic and financial systemic risks and monitoring the financial markets. Economic research that provides detailed analysis allows the OFR’s RAC division to leverage the information and increase its ability to analyze specific market trends, identify concerns, and manage research outputs (monitors, presentations, papers, etc.). This type of research allows us to monitor financial markets and economy in real-time while providing in-depth analysis.

The period of performance for the contract is anticipated to be inclusive of a Base Year of twelve months, and four (4) twelve-month option periods.

The total estimated value of this purchase order is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice. Telephone responses or inquiries to this Special Notice will not be accepted.

TCSC will consider written responses received no later than 12/05/2025. Responses must be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov, Oxford Economics /Attn: AM – BC. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows your company is capable of providing the content described in this notice. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no written response is received by the aforementioned deadline that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet all requirements, and that is more advantageous to the Government, TCSC will make award on a sole source basis to Oxford Economics.

Qualified Contractors must provide the following:

1. The name and location of your company, contact information, and identify your business size (Large Business, Small Business, Disadvantaged Business, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, HUBZone, etc.).
