- Description
- I. Objective The objective of this pre-solicitation notice is to inform the vendor community that the U.S. Department of Justice intends to release a solicitation in support of the Justice Management Division, Criminal Division�s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section. The Criminal Division�s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section has a requirement for Federal Forfeiture Claims Administration (FFCA) services. These services will provide integrated claims administration. �Using negotiated procedures authorized in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, the Department intends to establish a multiple-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for the program services. II. Background The Justice Management Division, Criminal Division�s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, has a requirement for Federal Forfeiture Claims Administration (FFCA) services.� These services will provide integrated claims administration. These claims are large individual cases that are increasing in number and complexity. They include cases of securities fraud, Ponzi schemes, mortgage fraud, and other crimes or civil actions involving large numbers and groups of victims or claimants. The U.S. Government has the authority to obtain judicial forfeiture of assets under specific statutes.� After assets have been forfeited to the U.S., the Attorney General has authority to distribute the funds, after deduction of Government expenses and satisfaction of third-party claims, to victims of crime pursuant to the regulations governing remission at 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 9, Regulations Governing the Remission or Mitigation of Civil and Criminal Forfeitures.� The authority to decide Petitions for Remission has been delegated from the Attorney General to the Chief of the Asset Forfeiture Money Laundering Section pursuant to 28 CFR �9.1(b)(2).� These regulations are applied to determine who is a victim and whether and to what extent distribution of forfeited property is to be made to victims.� The Criminal Division�s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section provides centralized management for the Department's asset forfeiture program to ensure its integrity and maximize its law enforcement potential, while also providing managerial direction to the Department's components in prosecuting money laundering.� The Section adjudicates all petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeited assets in judicial and administrative forfeiture cases, including petitions pertaining to Treasury and Homeland Security agencies. �Contractor services will be required to identify and contact potential claimants and inform them of the opportunity to file a claim, receive and evaluate the claims, make recommendations to Government officials regarding claim validity, inform potential claimants of the claims decisions, review requests for reconsideration and make recommendations regarding these requests, and, in certain cases, make final disbursements to awarded claimants. It is anticipated that these claims administration support services will be awarded with an ordering period of a base year with four one-year options.� This requirement will result in the award of a multiple award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Federal Forfeiture Claims Administration (FFCA) services.� The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541199, All Other Legal Services, with a size standard of $12.0 million.�� � III. General Information The solicitation and any documents relating to this requirement will be available only on the Contracting Opportunities website, www.sam.gov.� Potential offerors are responsible for monitoring this site for the release of the solicitation and any subsequent amendments.� Offerors should not contact the Department for updates and rather are encouraged to sign-up, on the Contracting Opportunities website, for email notification of all actions relevant to this solicitation, as well as on the interested vendors list.� The solicitation is anticipated to be released on or around April 12, 2022.� Once the solicitation is released, offerors will be given an opportunity to ask questions and answers will be posted to the Contracting Opportunities website.� Offerors who are not registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) should apply for registration immediately upon receipt of this pre-solicitation notice.� Failure to being registered in the SAM at the time of your proposal submission in accordance with FAR 52.204-7 will cause your proposal to be rejected.� See www.sam.gov for information on registration.� IV.
