E-MAIL: Patricia Pastorelli, pat.pastorelli@occ.treas.gov. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) intends to award a sole source contract directly to Ceridian Benefit Services, which currently provides Flexible Spending Account benefit administration for the OCC's Employee Benefit program. The contract award will represent a renewal of the OCC's current policy #R3820F, and will not constitute a new policy. The OCC intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document is available. All proposals received with pricing and sufficient technical documentation to establish a bonafide capacity to meet the requirement within seven calendar days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the OCC. A determination not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the OCC. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The OCC is also currently reviewing its insurance requirements for 2001 through 2005. A separate announcement will be issued soliciting interest in those future procurements.
