About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) attachment for Solicitation RFQ-73351025R0023 for Filing COVID-19 EIDL Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Continuation Statements issued by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The solicitation requires a contractor to file UCC continuation statements for COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) with personal property liens, covering approximately 1.47 million active loans. The scope includes performing pre-filing checks on all assigned loans, with a minimum focus on loans over $500,000, and potentially expanding to other loan categories at the SBA's discretion.
Key contract details include a hybrid Firm-Fixed-Price/Cost Reimbursement contract type, with pricing based on cost per filing for performance work. The contractor will not be required to correct discrepancies but must report them monthly. Statutory filing fees are not included in the pricing, and the contractor will not review collateral, focusing instead on debtor name and state matching. The data files provided will include UCC filing numbers, initial filing dates, and filing locations. The government will provide a consolidated monthly invoice summarizing filings by state and loan size category.

Program Solicitation RFQ-73351025R0023 Filing COVID-19 EIDL Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Continuation Statements Attachment 4 Questions and Answers
| Question No. | RFP Attachment No. | REFERENCE | QUESTION | Government Response | ||
| Page | Section | Para. | ||||
| 1 | 73351025R0023 | Will the SBA be able to provide recorded copies of UCC filings with their data? This would support the following: |
- Verification of recording information: Book/Page & Instrument number
- Parcel Number (s) – may be required on the filing
| - Legal Description - Some counties require the legal description to be attached on all filings and the original filed copy should have this information for us to attach to the continuation. | The data files provided to the contractor will include UCC filing numbers, date of initial filing and location of filing (state). | ||||||
| 2 | 73351025R0023 | 50 to 51 | Andendum 21 | Proposal Table | We wanted to confirm that statutory filing fees should be included in the all in price or it's assumed that the statutory fees will be a pass through cost and the price should only be based on cost per filing for performance of work? | The price should only be based on cost per filing for performance of work. | |
| 3 | 73351025R0023 | 2 to 3 | 3. Specific Tasks/Objectives | Task 1 and task 2 | The scope appears to have changed from the original, which makes sense and aligns with the strategy in our initial bid, however just a few questions in connection with the updated scope: |
- To clarify will the pre-filing check be required on all 1.47M active loans?
| - It mentions UCC continuations will need to be done on all >500k loans with real estate liens (~4,634) and then on any further loans at the direction of the SBA, does the SBA have a sense of total expected UCC filings to be done? Does the SBA anticipate that any additional UCC-1s or UCC-3s will be needed based on the results of the pre-filing check? | A pre-filing check will be required on all loans that are assigned to the vendor for renewal. At minimum, the vendor will be responsible for some loans over $500K and the government may opt to direct the vendor to file UCC continuation statements on loan in other categories listed in the SOW and pricing spreadsheet. | ||||||

| 5 | 1 - B02 Attachment 1 SOW UCC Filing 2-25-25 | 2 | 3 - Task 1 | 1 | Assuming the government only requires pre-filing checks on loans over 500K: For the population of loans not getting a pre-filing check, does SBA want to determine if any of the borrowers have declared bankruptcy, moved, or are deceased at any point in the process? | The government requires a pre-filing check on all loans assigned to the vendor for renewals. | |

| 8 | 1 - B02 Attachment 1 SOW UCC Filing 2-25-25 | 3 | 3 - Task 1 | 3 | For Task 1, does SBA anticipate the contractor will work to correct any discrepancies via a new filing or simply report the discrepancies in a month-end report? | The contractor will not need to correct any discprepancies via a new filing. The contractor will only be responsible to report the discrepancies in the monthly reporting. | |
