D -- CORPORATE CALL MANAGEMENT LAN SUPPORT SOL 102590 99A 0098 DUE 033099 POC David Beckman WEB: Business Opptunities Bulletin (BOB), http://www.purchasing.gov. The U. S. Postal Service (USPS) desires to prequalify suppliers to provide on-site Information Technology (IT) support personnel for the Corporate Call Management (CCM) Program. The Corporate Call Management (CCM) Program is designed to improve and standardize United States Postal Service (USPS) telephone customer service and operating efficiency through the establishment of an effective call-handling infrastructure. This infrastructure includes a planned network of fully integrated National Service Centers (NSCs) that offer USPS customers easy access to accurate, reliable information of services and retail products through a single toll-free number. In support of CCM Program, the USPS requires a supplier to provide the following types of skilled IT personnel: LAN Engineer/Administrators, Telecommunications Specialists, Help Desk Technicians, and several other skill categories. Interested companies seeking to be prequalified must read the CCM prequalification package that is posted at (http://www.purchasing.gov). The prequalification package will not be made available to any potential supplier in paper form. Prequalification evaluation will focus principally on: 1) Past Performance, including relevance of prior experience and 2) Supplier Capability. It is the intent of the Postal Service to award one (1) contract for CCM IT support in the future using prequalified sources. Interested parties are hereby advised that all qualified sources may not be placed on the prequalified list if the purchase team determines (a) that a smaller group will provide adequate competition or (b) that some sources are considerably more qualified than others, thereby precluding contract opportunities for the less qualified. Upon completion of the prequalification process, all respondents will be notified of the USPS' decision. Interested parties should submit their response by close of business March 30, 1999.
