Description

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management requires the services of a contractor to provide long term care insurance coverage for Federal employees, members of the uniformed services, civilian and military retirees, and qualified family members. OPM estimates that more than 20 million persons will be eligible to apply for this insurance coverage. The contractor must have or obtain licenses, if awarded the contract, to issue long term care insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, taking any subsidiaries of such company into account, and in the case of a consortium submitting a proposal, considering the member companies and any subsidiaries thereof, collectively. The contractor must also be prepared to mail information to approximately 4.3 million civilian and military retirees; distribute bulk information to over 500 agency distribution channels for Federal employees and members of the uniformed services; work with over 200 payroll offices; develop a strategy for and execute a nationwide long term care open enrollment period for the population pool; and demonstrate the capacity to administer the resultant program. This procurement is exempted from section 5 of title 41 of the United States Code and from any other statute requiring competitive bidding. OPM, however, will ensure that any resulting contract award is based on contractor qualifications and reasonable competition. This procurement has not been set-aside for small businesses. OPM anticipates release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) on/about June 15, 2001. Interested parties may download the RFP at http://www.opm.gov/procure/, or if they prefer to have the RFP mailed to them, they must send a written request to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Contracting Division, Attn: Andre Adams, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 1342, Washington, DC 20415-7710, via email at adadams@opm.gov, or facsimile at (202) 606-1464.
