- Description
- Subject to final approval, the Bureau of the Public Debt, Franchise Business Activity-Cincinnati, intends to acquire through non-commercial item procedures, on a sole-source basis from Government Retirement and Benefits Inc., an off-the-shelf Internet software application. The FBAC is running an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that provides basic benefits information, including federal annuity, life insurance and Thrift Savings plan estimates. This fee-for-service system is currently being made available to all Federal Departments and Agencies. The specialized, off-the-shelf software required to provide the necessary employee estimate information on the IVR system is being provided by Government and Retirement Benefits. The FBAC has expanded its scope of operations to include a similar off-the-shelf benefits application using the capabilities of the Internet. In concert with the offerings available on the IVR system, the Internet application provides the following calculations and information: 1) Federal employees Annuity Estimate information for all Federal Government retirement systems, including the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), and the CSRS-Offset retirement system, and shall include estimates for voluntary, survivor's, disability, MRA (plus 10), early out/discontinued service and insurable interest; 2) Thrift Saving Plan projections and Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board sponsored annuity estimates; 3) Social Security estimates, including the applicable provisions of the GPO and WEP; 4) FEGLI life insurance proceeds; 5) FEHB carriers and premiums; 6) Deposit and Redeposit estimates, including Post-56 military; 7) Severance Pay estimates and; 8) CSRS versus FERS transfer comparisons. These estimates and projections shall be made available to each registered user in a descriptive, explanatory printed format. Firms must submit a description of the software and operating environment offered in sufficient technical detail to substantiate the ability of any alternative product to meet all these requirements. If no affirmative written response is received by 2 PM EDT on February 14, 2002, to the effect that a comparable software is available, and that it is more advantageous to the Government than obtaining the software through the proposed contractor, a sole-source award will be made. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE.***** Interested offerors may register at http://www.fedbizopps.gov to receive notification when any amendments are issued and available for downloading.
