R -- APPEALS ANALYSIS SERVICES INCREASE POC Point of Contact -- Contact Tova Stein, 202/326-4160 ext. 3234, Contracting Officer, Robert W. Herting 202/326-4160 E-MAIL: U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., Washinton, D.C., 62174800@eln.attmail.com. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) intends to increase the maximum number of hours available for appeals analysis services under a current labor hour contract. Additional hours are requested primarily to complete analyses on unusually complex appeals recently filed with the PBGC's Appeals Board. These requested services are a continuation of work currently being performed by the contractor. In view of the vendor's experience with appeals analyses, its knowledge of PBGC programs and its familiarity with PBGC electronic and filing systems, it is in the agency's best interest for the current vendor to complete the appeal analyses. The contractor will be required to complete the requested analyses within the period of performance and schedule of the contract. The proposed contract increase is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent to award a contract modification is not a request for proposals. See Note 22 (AC0925059-57) (0268)
