Description

BACKGROUND: The Department of Labor through its Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), Office of the Chief Accountant (OCA), administers a comprehensive program to protect the interests of participants and beneficiaries of employee benefit plans. On April 13, 1987, EBSA was delegated new authority and assigned responsibility for the administration of the Department of Labor's responsibilities under the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of 1986 (FERSA or the Act). EBSA is required to administer and to enforce the fiduciary responsibility, prohibited transaction, and bonding provision of the Act. This work includes the review of the records of participants in the Federal Retirement Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a defined contribution pension plan for Federal employees. These requirements parallel, in many ways, the standards for fiduciary conduct which have been administered and enforced by the Department of Labor since the enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). FERSA Subsection 8477(g) requires the establishment of a program to carry out audits to determine the level of compliance with the fiduciary responsibility requirements and requirements dealing with prohibited activities of fiduciaries. The Contractor shall assist the Government in carrying out the fiduciary compliance audit responsibilities delegated to EBSA under the FERSA. The Contractor shall perform all work in accordance with the Statement of Work and all the other terms and conditions of the contract.

All potential sources are invited to submit a proposal or an approach for providing support and a very brief statement that addresses the respondent's knowledge, ability and experience. The use of information received from industry and academia shall be used to complete final solicitation documents at the discretion of EBSA/OCA.
