- The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) intends to solicit and negotiate with Fiserv, Inc. on a sole source basis in accordance with the authority of FAR 6.302-1. http://www.arnet.gov/far/current/html/subpart_6_3.html, for renewal of its' Fiserv/Checkfree Recon Plus for Windows software maintenance agreement. Fiserv, Inc. is the manufacturer of the Checkfree Recon Plus for Windows software and is the only known source which can provide maintenance services for the software. The software maintenance renewal will be for one (1) year, from September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010 The Checkfree Recon Plus for Windows software is an automated financial reconciliation tool which provides the Department of Education with critical financial reconciliation functions, such as, Funds Balance With Treasury Reconciliation and Cash Reporting and Reconciliation to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Both of the referenced reconciliation functions are critical parts of the Department's annual financial statement audit process. Since the implementation of Checkfree software, the Department has received seven consecutive clean options on its annual audits. Renewal of the Checkfree Recon Plus for Windows software allows for continuity of these services which are vital to the support of the Department's mission. Due to the volume of financial transactions within the Department, any lapse or interruption in this reconciliation service provided by the Checkfree software is undesirable.

However, all proposals or notices by interested parties which are received by 2:00 pm (EST) on the posted response date will be considered by the Government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. All information in response to this notification must be submitted in writing to the attention of Merrill Foster (Contract Specialist, Operations Group), with a cc: to Veronica.Price@ed.gov (Contracting Officer).
