D -- EFAST SOLE SOURCE EXTENSION

The U.S. Department of Labor's Procurement Review Board has granted sole-source approval to the Employee Benefits Security Administration to modify the existing Blanket Purchase Agreement with Blue Mountain Data Systems, Inc. This action is intended to ensure compliance with the requirements of the newly enacted Pension Protection Act while a competitive solicitation process is underway for a follow-on contract. The subsequent contract will focus on processing the Form 5500 Series Annual Returns/Reports under a new system referred to as EFAST2. This modification serves as an extension to maintain continuity and statutory adherence during the transition period. The contract, titled "D -- EFAST SOLE SOURCE EXTENSION" with solicitation number DOL-99-0793-654, was announced on May 29, 2007. It falls under the NAICS code 518210, which corresponds to data processing services. There is no solicitation package available, as this announcement is strictly for informational purposes. The point of contact is Ronald J Jordan, who can be reached via email or phone for further inquiries related to the contract. The work is linked on the federal procurement system but lacks detailed geographic or organizational information regarding the place of performance.
