NCB 6609 Xerox State and Local Solutions Inc

The non-competitive bid (NCB) 6609 involves an amendment to an existing contract between the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and Xerox State and Local Solutions, Inc. for the California LifeLine Third Party Administrator (TPA) program. The contract, originally numbered 11PS5848, is being extended through May 31, 2017, to allow CPUC time to issue a future Request for Proposal (RFP) for program administration services. The primary service involves administering a Federally and State mandated public assistance program that qualifies and verifies eligibility for approximately 2.2 million California LifeLine participants. This amendment specifically adds two new subcontractors, ATOS and GMTS, to support program administration tasks. The contract is classified as a Non-IT Service and is being processed as a Non-Competitively Bid contract. The amendment increases the total contract value by $6,851,182.94, raising the total from $63,389,003.37 to $70,240,186.31, primarily due to increased wireless volumes and program activities.

The procurement opportunity is explicitly identified as a non-competitive bid, which means no competitive bidding process will be conducted. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are mentioned in the available documentation. The contract appears to be solely with Xerox State and Local Solutions, Inc., with ATOS and GMTS being added as subcontractors. The existing contract infrastructure supports the California LifeLine program's administrative requirements, which involve verifying eligibility for low-income telecommunications service participants. The budget range for this amendment is precisely $6,851,182.94, representing an increase to the existing contract value. No additional details are provided about specific evaluation criteria, disadvantaged enterprise considerations, or alternative vendor qualifications, as this is a non-competitive amendment to an existing contract processed for administrative continuity and program management purposes.
