SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The Bureau of Consular Affairs is seeking a qualified contractor to provide presort mailing services for the National Visa Center in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The National Visa Center currently processes approximately 80,000 pieces of domestic mail each month. About 99 percent of the mail volume consists of 6 x 9 envelopes, with the remainder made up of flat-size mail weighing between one and three ounces.
The selected contractor will be responsible for daily pickup of domestic mail from the National Visa Center and for preparing mail in compliance with USPS presort regulations. Required services include sorting by ZIP code, applying barcodes and endorsement lines, securing the lowest possible automation rate for First-Class presort mail, and providing a mailing permit imprint for use on First-Class presorted letters and flat envelopes.
The contractor will also be expected to maintain a dedicated postage balance account on behalf of the client, deliver processed mail to the appropriate USPS acceptance facility on the same day, and return any non-compliant mail for correction. Additional details are referenced in the associated Sources Sought Notice and Statement of Work.
