The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is issuing an RFP using FAR Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 15 - Contracting by Negotiation to obtain an experienced and qualified contractor to underwrite and administer its short-term and long-term disability insurance program for OCC and the Office of Financial Research (OFR) employees. The contractor shall administer these programs from an integrated disability management approach to ease the transition from STD to LTD. This integrated approach should enhance employees' overall experience that aids in the return to work efforts, vocational rehabilitation, claim filing process, and early social security notice.
A detailed PWS is included in the RFP.
The OCC intends to award a firm fixed price standalone contract with a base (to include transition if applicable), plus four one-year optional periods. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor FBO for the release of any amendments that may follow.
The provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offeror's - Commercial, and the clause at FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.
The provision FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
1. Technical capability
