16PBGC25Q0057 0002 Attachment 4 - Question and Answer_Final.xlsx

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) attachment related to Solicitation Number 16PBGC25Q0057 for Benefit Connect Licenses issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). The Q&A document, submitted by Willis Towers Watson US LLC (WTW), addresses two specific questions from the solicitation: clarification on optional line items in Section 6.4 and the proposed start date given a proposal submission extension to June 20, 2025.

The underlying federal contract opportunity is a sole source solicitation to obtain Benefit Connect (BC) licenses and system support from WTW. The system is designed to provide PBGC staff with access to critical benefit administration data, enabling them to conduct research, perform benefit calculations, and manage benefits for approximately 90,000 participants in the Sears Pension plans. The government responded by removing the section on optional line items and updating the general information section of the Request for Quote (RFQ).
