The Department of Education's Federal Student Aid (FSA) is planning to enter into a fixed-price non-competitive contract with Nelnet Servicing LLC for the continuation of Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Task Assignment services. This contract, which will serve as a 4-month bridge, is necessary to ensure that Nelnet can continue accepting TPD loan assignments from guaranty agencies and schools without any disruption, as they are uniquely qualified to manage this program. The TPD program has historically been operated by Nelnet, which possesses the required infrastructure and expertise. Interested parties may express their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by emailing Kimberly.Hampel@ed.gov by 10:00 AM Eastern on October 22, 2024, although a solicitation will not be posted, and the decision to not compete is at the Government's discretion.
