R -- STAMPS ON CONSIGNMENT PROGRAM SERVICES SOL 102590-95-A-0042. Contact Point, Pauline McTeer 202/268-4115, Contracting Officer, Susan M. Brownell 202/268-4826. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has a requirement for contractor services to support the nationwide Stamps on Consignment (SOC) program for a period of three years with two one-year options. The SOC program was developed to provide a convenient method of purchasing stamps for household customers who prefer to combine their stamp purchases with retail shopping. The USPS, through SOC, provides postage stamps to the contractor for placement into commercial retail outlets for sale to the general public. These stamp placements are accomplished on a consignment basis through a USPS provided Retailer Consignment Agreement between the contractor and the retailer. The successful offeror must provide marketing services, stamp storage capability and security, an automated system for taking stamp orders, stamp fulfillment and distribution services, reporting, management and control systems, advertising, promotion, and customer service. A pre-proposal conference will be held in Washington D.C. after solicitation release. Firms desiring solicitation packages must send written requests to the U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza S.W. Rm 4541, Washington, D.C. 20260-6237; Attn: Pauline McTeer, no later than February 21, 1995. Telephone requests for the solicitation package will not be accepted. (018)
