NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk, Philadelphia Office intends to issue a firm, fixed-price contract on a sole source basis to Edenred Benefits, LLC (CAGE: 375B5) to provide Benefit Distribution Services for the Field Support Activity (FSA) Transportation Incentive Program (TIP). The FSA TIP Program Office is designated as the Office of Primary Responsibility for the Department of the Navy (DoN) Mass Transit Benefit Program outside the National Capital Region (ONCR); or the Transportation Incentive Program (TIP) as titled internally by DON. Based on eligibility requirements, TIP provides benefits to military and civilian employees to offset mass transit commuting costs to reduce their daily contribution to traffic congestion and air pollution, as well as expand their commuting alternatives. TIP is designed to pay for mass transit costs incurred by personnel in their local commute between their residence and duty station as prescribed by Executive Order 13150. Currently, FSA provides oversight for benefit disbursements to approximately 8,000 DON employees. The FSA TIP, Benefit Distribution Service Provider will provide benefit disbursement services for eligible TIP Participants and program support to the FSA TIP Program Office. The scope of this contract would be to provide benefit disbursement services and program support to the FSA TIP Program Office. To adequately support DON ONCR TIP, contract support services are required to provide distribution services including (but not limited to): multiple disbursement methods (i.e. credit or debit cards, vouchers, etc.); 24 hour access to real-time disbursement data for TIP Program Office, local support offices, and participants; program and financial audit support; dedicated customer service support staff, integration of DON ONCR TIP application system (with tech support); comprehensive financial and program reporting provided in timely manner; and cost effective administrative fees. The FSA TIP Program requires a vendor having an existing and relatable electronic transit system and established benefit program (i.e., the service provider needs to be plugin-play and have a dedicated support team readily available to manage the traffic of the program participants without a lag or future disruption in benefits). Having a vendor start from creation to implementation will cause delays in participants receiving an account, card disbursement and benefit loads. The anticipated period of performance is from 01 October 2023 through 30 September 2024. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 518210 – Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services. The required services are determined to be commercial and will be procured using FAR Part 15 procedures. The proposed contract action is for services for which the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Edenred Benefits, LLC, under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to perform to the requirement. However, while all information received by the required response date will be considered by the government, this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the government to not compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Please direct all questions regarding this requirement to Matthew Forsythe (email: matthew.r.forsythe.civ@us.navy.mil).
