> The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Wescara Freight Technologies of Atlanta, GA. The contractor will be required to provide the labor necessary to maintain a comprehensive database of the Fish and Wildlife Service?s freight activity and accounts nationwide, including pre-audit savings, payment activity and contractor fees. The Contractor will pre-audit all shipments/invoices received from the freight vendor (Federal Express). Pre-audit includes: a.) verification of rates against DOI service contract; b.) check for duplicate billings against payment history; c.) verification that DOI service guarantees have been met; and d.) check for the validity of accessorial charges. Additional pre-audit functions are validity of shipper and shipper address. This is a sole source requirement because this is a follow-on requirement in which Wescara performed the original competitive contract. Period of performance will begin 15 days from the date of this announcement through one year thereafter with options to renew for an additional year . The Contractor will be required to ensure that payments are appropriate ? if a questionable shipment/invoice is received it is the responsibility of the Contractor to contact the Service prior to payment. The anticipated date of award is March 1, 2002 for a base operating period of one year Approximately 90,000 transactions are processed annually. Estimated range of this requirement is between $10,000.00 and $35,000.00. Under normal operating conditions, interested vendors would be able to electronically respond to this announcement at the electronic commerce web site at http://ideasec.nbc.gov. However, at the present time, electronic access to Department of the Interior web site is not available. Questions regarding this announcement are to be directed to the Contracting Officer.
