Currently the Tobacco Program has an estimated 600,000 contracts and it is estimated that for FY 2006, 30% of the contracts will be sold to financial institutions under the SII.

This SOW provides necessary requirements for a contractor to print and distribute manufacturer and importer assessment bills, maintain manufacturer and importer account balances, to develop a database to keep historical information, and to use that historical information to calculate and report interest owed/due on account balances. This SOW also provides necessary requirements for a contractor to assist FSA in identification and billing of manufacturers and importers which have failed to comply with data reporting requirements.
