Recorded Telephone Informational Messages

The Social Security Administration plans to issue a task order under an existing contract with MCI Communications Services, Inc., operating as Verizon Business Services, to provide professionally recorded telephone informational messages. These messages will address frequently asked questions and general information related to the Economic Recovery Payments distributed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The services will be delivered through Verizon-owned telephone systems that support SSA’s National 800 Number service across the United States. This initiative is funded by the Recovery Act and is being conducted under a fair opportunity decision tied to the GSA’s FTS2001 GWAC. This notice serves purely as an informational announcement and does not request contractor responses. The solicitation, identified as SSA-RecoveryMessage1, is managed by the Social Security Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grants based in Baltimore, Maryland. The point of contact for this opportunity is Charles Mushinsky, the designated agency representative, who can be reached via email or phone for any inquiries. The contract aligns with NAICS code 517919 and involves telephone communications services to support public inquiries related to the recovery payments.
