Peer Review Follow-Up Assessment

Added: Oct 28, 2016 2:55 pm The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a bureau of the Department of Treasury, intends to issue a sole source purchase order utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Mr. Jonathan L. Fiechter, Falls Church, Virginia, to perform a critical assessment of OCC's implementation of the recommendations to improve supervisory effectiveness in "An International Review of OCC's Supervision of Large and Midsize Institutions" (December 4, 2013). Specific tasks consist of reviewing, analyzing and assessing OCC's actions in response to the Peer Review Report; conducting interviews with various individuals and groups within the OCC; and developing a final report. Mr. Fiechter performed the initial peer review along with a team of international regulators. He, along with the other individuals who conducted the initial assessment, is uniquely qualified to perform the follow-on assessment because the group has the expert knowledge and understanding of the initial review, its findings and appropriate steps that should have been taken to implement the recommendations. Performance of the work by the original team will ensure that the integrity of the review process is maintained. Internal and external parties will know that the OCC relied on the same individuals who performed the 2013 review to check that work rather than relying upon different individuals to perform the assessment. The period of performance for this requirement is November 9, 2016 through November 30, 2016. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; a solicitation document will not be issued.
