The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) intends to award a sole source purchase order to Intex Solutions, Inc., 110 A Street, Needham, MA, 02494-28701 under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), FAR 6.302-1, "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements". The anticipated period of performance is for a one-year base and three (3) one-year options. FHFA requires licenses to access the following: Cash flow data and models (deal model libraries), integrated with PolyPaths software, in order to monitor, model and report on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks (the Regulated Entities’) structured (tranched) mortgage investments known as Collaterized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs), Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and Credit Risk Transfer (CRT) deals, Direct programmer access to the CMO subroutines and databases to continue development of customized models or analysis tools, and Front-end software for analysis and modeling of the CMO/MBS/CRT deals for those users not licensed to use PolyPaths of Fincad software. FHFA currently uses these software products in supervision, examination and reporting work. FHFA requires the deal model libraries integrated with PolyPaths to independently model the interest rate risk of the Federal Home Loan Banks’ (FHLBanks) investments in agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations as part of the model risk examination work program. FHFA is using the deal model libraries with PolyPaths to include descriptive data on the collateral underlying the FHLBanks’ investments in their internal data dashboards. Additionally, FHFA uses the deal model libraries and the INTEXCalc software to monitor and analyze the entire market of mortgage securities that include multifamily housing collateral (both agency and non-agency), producing a capital markets report. FHFA developed a dynamic link library to access the Intex CMO subroutines (direct programmer access) with the MATLAB and Microsoft Excel interfaces to model the Credit Risk Transfer (CRT) deals issued by the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) with FHFA assumptions for loan performance statistics. This action will result in a Firm-Fixed Price contract. The applicable NAICS is 511210 - Software Publishers with a small business size standard of $41.5 Million.
