Chicago, Illinois, – Rick Levin & Associates, Inc., a Chicago based auction company, is part of a nation-wide team of companies that has recently been awarded a contract to support the U.S Department of the Treasury seized and forfeited general property program. The contract will also support other U.S. law enforcement agencies participating in the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, including the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Secret Service, and the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, this contract will provide services supporting certain properties under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Foreign Assets Control, Food and Drug Administration, and other Federal agencies.

In winning the award, a team of experts was assembled to support all phases of the contract including consolidating general personal property into Regional Property Management Centers, optimizing vehicle sales at facilities nationwide, providing field representatives nationwide to support local seizures, and utilizing the services of nationally recognized sales and marketing organizations to increase the sales of general property and vehicles while providing the Federal Government with the visibility, accountability, and controls required for this important national program. The team is led by the prime contractor, VSE Corporation, of Alexandria, VA., a well known service provider to the Department of Defense and other Federal Government Agencies.

The single award, cost-plus-incentive-fee contract includes a base period of performance, four option periods, and award term provisions. If all option and award term periods are exercised, contract performance is expected to continue through September 30, 2014. Potential revenue under the base and option periods is estimated to be about $113 million, depending on service requirements.
