EIU brand name justification combined synopsis-solicitation

The Export‑Import Bank (EXIM) seeks a single‑source vendor to provide a perpetual‑license subscription to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s “Viewpoint (Country Analysis Advanced Global)” and “Operational Risk” databases for up to ten users, together with analyst support, training, and periodic updates. The award will be a firm‑fixed‑price RFQ under simplified acquisition procedures, with a base period of one year and two optional one‑year extensions (up to three years total). The solicitation is brand‑name justified, meaning only the identified vendor (EIU) may be awarded.
