Q1.

Please confirm that the VBA receives 41,000 packets per day on average but the ask of the contractor for this TO is to process up to 5-7,000 after the third month.

The potential is more as the contractor proves its value.

This 5-7,000 is all USPS mail and mail that is being shipped to contractor by VBA RO's.

A1.

The Government confirms that VBA estimates receiving approximately 41,000 mail packets per day across all centralized mail operations; however, this figure represents the total mail volume processed through the full centralized mail pipeline and is not the contractor's Task 5.14 obligation.

Task 5.14 Mail Packet Processing Services is a distinct function separate from mail receipt, scanning, and conversion.

It represents human-assisted claims processing actions, analogous to work a claims assistant would perform, on mail packets that automated processing was unable to complete, ensuring mail is actioned the same day it enters a work queue.

The contractor's Task 5.14 obligation is to process 5,000 7,000 packets per day following the Month 3 ramp-up period as outlined in Table 5 of PWS Section 5.14.

The Government notes that this volume has trended downward over time as mail automation capabilities have matured, though temporary spikes may occur due to automation issues or special projects.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
