B -- A-76 Streamlined Competition for Employee Benefits Activity

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) conducted an A-76 streamlined competition to evaluate the performance of its Employee Benefits activity, which is currently managed by government employees within the Division for Human Capital Leadership & Merit System Accountability, specifically the Benefits Officer Training and Development Group. This competition involved 11 full-time equivalent positions located in the Washington, DC area. After completing the evaluation, the decision was made to continue performance by OPM employees rather than outsourcing the activity. The source selection authority signed the decision document on April 14, 2004, with the competition projected to be completed by April 15, 2004. Key personnel involved in the competition included Clarence Crawford as the Competitive Sourcing Official, Henry Wong as the Acting Chief and Contracting Officer, and Jeffrey Risinger serving as the Agency Tender Official. The solicitation, identified as Reference-Number-NoRfA764 with NAICS code 561110, was publicly posted on May 3, 2004. The competition underlined OPM’s commitment to maintaining control of its employee benefits functions internally while adhering to federal sourcing policies. The office managing the competition is located at 1900 E Street, NW, Washington, DC, and the contract contact is Alfred J. Chatterton, reachable by phone and email.
