About this opportunity
This Special Notice announces the Peace Corps' intent to issue a sole-source modification to an existing contract with United Parcel Service (UPS) for domestic ground and express package delivery services. UPS currently provides these services to Peace Corps under a best-in-class IDIQ contract.
The modification seeks to procure additional delivery services from UPS on a sole-source basis. It cites the logical follow-on provision under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C) as the basis for this non-competitive award, given UPS' performance under the original contract. Interested parties are invited to submit written responses by March 15th demonstrating their capability to fulfill the requirement, however oral communication will not be considered. The notice emphasizes this is not a request for quotes but rather an announcement of sole-source award to the incumbent contractor.
