However, small businesses that believe they can provide the services required in this project that fully meet the Government's requirements may submit substantiating documentation in writing to the identified point of contact, as instructed below.

The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. BACKGROUND: Until 1989, Records Management Service (723/045A4) compiled a "loose-leaf "edition of Title 38, CFR. Changes to the loose-leaf edition were printed and distributed on a continuing basis and provided VBA personnel a current version of Title 38, CFR. Records Management Service formally notified VBA in November 1990, they could no longer provide this service due to a shortage of personnel. VBA needs contractor support to provide copies of a loose-leaf and electronic edition of Title 38, CFR to established distribution points throughout the Department of Veterans Affairs. Supplementary material, on a scheduled basis to add new or amended portions of Title 38, CFR is also required. VBA has divided the several parts of Title 38, CFR into nine different loose-leaf books. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1.The contractor shall develop supplementary changes to the Title 38, CFR, in hard-copy and Electronic versions. 2.The contractor shall research of the Federal Register on a daily basis, checking final rule changes to Title 38 CFR for preparation of supplements to the various books of the loose-leaf edition and the electronic (CD) version. 3.The contractor shall prepare new hardcopy material in a format to allow end users to easily make page removal and insertion in existing loose-leaf binders. 4.The contractor shall provide a summary of all changes being included in each supplement indicating the reason for revision and the effective dates of the changes. All preamble and explanatory notes published with each final regulation in the Federal Register will be analyzed to ensure that the technical and legal changes being made are assembled in a summary statement developed for end users. Contractor shall have sufficient expertise to interpret the changes being made, and to determine if the modified is correct. 5.The contractor shall provide Federal Register citations at the end of each section to allow recipient to check when changes officially promulgated. 6.The contractor shall provide instructions for removal and filing of changed pages in each supplement. 7.The contractor shall have the following capabilities: a.Word processed text files containing all of Title 38CFR, updated to the current date. b.Communications software for accessing the Federal Register on-line.
