QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AMENDMENT

1. Question: The RFQ states, the Contractors equipment shall support First-Class Mail Letters and Parcels and Priority Mail with an average weekly volume of mail processing of >200 pieces of mail. Printable envelope dimensions will not exceed: 16 ½” L x 15 ½” D x 11 1/2” H. The service coverage shall include parts and labor. The support shall include postal and carrier and software updates.

Is it a requirement that these “postage machine” equipment and associated technology be able to take advantage of the lowest rates offered to the VA by the USPS which is Commercial Plus Pricing Discounts on Priority Mail™ and Priority Mail Express by creating full service IMpb labels?

Answer: It is required that the contracted price for postage does take advantage of the lowest rates offered to by USPS to government agencies. Our current machine does not print IMpb labels. Currently we use IMpb Priority Mail Preprinted Labels, Label 055, that we order from USPS. The ability for the machine to print IMpb labels is not required.
