mail preparation service bureaus who would be interested in a
licensing agreement with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to provide the
USPS FASTforward service in conjunction with their own COMPUTER-BASED
MAILING LIST PREPARATION ACTIVITY. The FASTforward service will enable
licensees to PROVIDE STANDARDIZED NAME AND ADDRESS MATCHING SERVICES TO
ELECTRONIC MAILING LISTS TO IDENTIFY if the intended recipient has
moved AND CORRECT THE ADDRESS RECORD, as part of normal mail
preparation activities. The FASTforward system is one of the four
authorized methods by which mailers may meet the move update
requirement of the USPS Classification Reform. Prerequi- sites to being
considered for a FASTforward license are that the potential licensee
must operate the FASTforward process AS PART OF their MAILING LIST
PREPARATION system that INCORPORATES USPS CODING Accuracy Support
System (CASS) certified ZIP+4/DELIVERY POINT CODE SOFTWARE and that has
also USPS vendor PRE-certification as one that can successfully
interface with the USPS FAST- forward computer system. Interested
parties should contact the USPS NATIONAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT CENTER
FASTforward DEPARTMENT AT 1-800-589-5766 TO OBTAIN A LIST OF COMMERCIAL
VENDORS WHO ARE DEVELOPING AN INTERFACE TO THE USPS FAST- forward
SYSTEM. An annual licensing fee of $10,000.00 will be paid to USPS by
the licensee for each USPS provided FASTforward computer system that it
wishes to operate. Interested parties should contact Mark Treese for a
SAMPLE USPS FASTforward licensing information package. Applications
for FASTforward licenses will be accepted until notice is published in
CBD. Ken Iberg Contracting Officer (0070) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0045 19970313\D-0007.SOL)
