Interactive Data Taxonomy Project

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for contractors to fulfill the Commission's need for the development of interactive data taxonomies and related materials including user documentation, technical guides, taxonomy maintenance capabilities, testing routines, implementation instructions, taxonomy usage best practices, construction and delivery of computer hardware, system software, other technical infrastructure, housing, connectivity, publication and hosting of taxonomies and other materials to support the implementation of interactive data by the Commission. It is the Commission’s intention to award an IDIQ contract to one or more contractors. If multiple awards are made under the IDIQ contract, all awardees will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each Task Order, consistent with the FAR. The Commission intends to issue an IDIQ contract with a 12 month Base period and three 12 month options. The Statement of Work (SOW) for Task Order 0001 will be provided simultaneously with the SOW for the IDIQ contract and will be released on the FBO website once the RFP is released for competition. The formal RFP is anticipated to be released on or about 1 September 2009.
