Notice of Intent to Issue a Sole Source Contract - Correspondence Only Lockbox Services

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) intends to make a sole source award to US Bank for correspondence only lockbox services.

PBGC currently has an interagency agreement with Department of Treasury, who is changing providers to US Bank. The new provider will not provide correspondence only lockbox services under the new interagency agreement. The Department of Treasury is currently funding connectivity services, which PBGC will need to process premium payments received. Therefore, PBGC will contract directly with US Bank for the additional correspondence only lockbox services. The purpose of these services is to accept envelopes delivered that contain correspondence only communication. The remaining services needed by PBGC will be procured through Department of Treasury's IAA.

This is not a Request for Quotation, but a notice of Intent. An RFQ will not be issued. Interested parties may submit their capability statements for the required services to Patrick McFarlane at mcfarlane.patrick@pbgc.gov and Giorgiana Chen at chen.giorgiana@pbgc.gov no later than April 26, 2018, 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Responses received will be evaluated; however, a determination by the Government to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation will not reimburse any costs connected with providing the capability information. Oral communications will not be accepted in response to this notice.
