- The Bureau of the Fiscal Service, on behalf of the Fiscal Service Office of Retail Securities Services, intends to make award on a sole source basis to Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC. for the PHASE 3 digitization of approximately 1.87 billion records dating from October 1957 through December 1973 via MUD Records Modernization. � This data is available in microfilm format. There are approximately 135,000 reels of microfilm representing the October 1957 � December 1973 issue stub records, which contain savings bond and owner information. The microfilm is in varying condition. Some issue stubs are poor quality and may make the process difficult. There are a variety of savings instruments with different styles of inscriptions and information on the front of bonds and issue stubs. Some bonds offered Tax Identification Numbers (TINs), including SSNs and Employer Identification Numbers (EINs), others merely show an address and a name.� The Government considers TIN, Denomination, Serial Number and Series to be the most critical fields that are to be extracted.� The Government believes most of these records will not have TINs. The proposed contractor developed and owns the propriety software and algorithms that are used in the services specifically required for this acquisition; thereby the proposed source has the sole unique technical and other resources required for this acquisition; The Government has conducted market research while performing two pilot studies that involved over forty different vendors and has found that only Iron Mountain information Management LLC can perform these essential services and achieve the necessary accuracy within the required time frame. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE. �A request for more information, or a copy of the solicitation, will not be considered an affirmative response to this Special Notice.
