The voluntary submissions of answers to this RFI shall not obligate the Department of Education (DoEd) Federal Student Aid (FSA) to pay or entitle the submitter of information to claim any direct or indirect costs, charges, or other compensation whatsoever. This contract was previously awarded to a small business using NAICS 522110 – Commercial Banking. The re-competed effort is anticipated to be awarded to a small business under the same NAICS.

The Government will use such information only to inform and support any potential solicitation and contract or for such other purposes as described below.

The result of which will allow the recording and storing of all loan assignment activities for each loan including the upload and storage of loan documents; and which will permit querying and report creation of all loan assignment data.
