The U.S. Postal Service is seeking mailers and 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.
