- Description
- The Department of Health and Human Services, Program Support Center intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Circular Advertising Company, Inc. (CAC), located at 99 Ray Road, Baltimore, Maryland for the Agency for Children and Families/Office of Child Support Enforcement (ACF/OCSE) on the basis of other than full and open competition. The authority for this noncompetitive award is 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1) as set forth in FAR 6.302-1. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide services needed to ensure the effective and timely printing and mailing of OCSE issued pre-offset notices. The Federal Offset Program is a government-wide delinquent debt matching and payment offset system. It is a means of offsetting Federal payments due the delinquent debtor from the Federal Tax Refund Offset Program and the Administrative Offset Program. It is a cooperative effort between the OCSE and the Treasury?s Financial Management Service (FMS). CAC is the only known facility at this time that has the capability to provide the required standardization and continuity of these services. Changing variables would hinder operations already in progress and would jeopardize the services performed by CAC which are critical to the ACF/OCSE for fulfillment of their organizational mission. CAC is the only known source within a 50 mile radius of the customer that has a required on-site United States Postal Service facility in order to perform these services. CAC possesses the requisite capabilities to provide the continuity of services without disruption and duplication of cost to the Government. It is anticipated that this requirement will result in a firm-fixed-price contract for a base period of one year with four one-year options. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 541860, and the small business size standard is $6,000,000. Interested concerns may identify their interest and submit written documentation that demonstrates the ability to respond to this requirement within 15 days from the date of publication of this notice. This notice is NOT a request for proposals. Capability statements received within 15 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be in writing and refer to 06Y008319 to the attention of Susan Moran. If no affirmative responses are received, the Contracting Officer will proceed with a contract award to CAC.
