t be obtained anywhere else. EIA Analysts rely heavily upon Bloomberg data and tools, such as, the quarterly Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market updates, and LNG netbacks, spot and forward prices for global gas, Russian gas flow dynamics, shipping issues and constraints, European gas demand, and Asian and European weather updates. These Bloomberg licenses also provide EIA with access to the latest information, data, and news stories related to energy markets. The data from the Bloomberg Professional service may also be used in EIA�s Daily Energy Report, Weekly Petroleum Status Report, Today in Energy, and other publications. The anticipated performance period for this license renewal support will include a base year and up to four option year periods. This notice of intent is for information purposes only and not a solicitation or request for quotes. All responsible sources eligible to meet this requirement must respond in writing by the closing date and time of this notice. The written response must be supported with strong and convincing evidence that clearly articulates the company's ability to satisfy the Government�s requirement needs as outlined above. A request for documentation or general capability statements will not be considered as an affirmative response. If no responses that can demonstrate comparable capability are received by the notice due date and time, then a sole source procurement award will be made. Responses to this notice must be sent to Jennifer.Scharrer@hq.doe.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed award based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
