The services include receiving electronic data concerning bankruptcy cases, producing and distributing notices via mail or electronic transmission in a cost-effective and timely manner, and providing related reports to the Administrative Office and Bankruptcy Courts.

The contract is expected to have a base period with nine additional one-year option periods. There is no set-aside provision for small or specialized businesses under government procurement definitions. The current contract runs through September 2008, and detailed volume and cost information will be provided upon solicitation release. Interested parties should watch for the official Request for Proposal (RFP) on FedBizOps, noting that the response deadline is yet to be finalized. The contracting officer managing this procurement is Michelle T. Hupp.
