B -- Streamlined A-76 Study of Position Classification Functions

The contract pertains to a streamlined competitive study conducted under OMB Circular A-76, focusing on the Position Classification function within Human Resources Management offices located in Laguna, CA, Dallas, TX, Burlington, VT, and Washington, DC. The study was publicly announced on September 30, 2005, and culminated on February 10, 2006, with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Source Selection Authority certifying the streamlined competition form, confirming the completion of the assessment. The outcome determined that the function will continue to be performed in-house by the Government’s Most Efficient Organization (MEO), rather than being outsourced. Following this decision, the Contracting Officer is responsible for executing a Letter of Obligation with the MEO program manager assigned to the task. This streamlined competition follows the revised OMB Circular A-76 guidelines effective from May 29, 2003, which prohibits any contesting of the competition’s outcome. Transparency is maintained as a copy of the study documentation will be made available upon written request to the Contracting Officer. Only directly interested parties, defined as the Agency Tender Official and an individual selected by a majority of affected employees, may engage with the Contracting Officer for inquiries. The contract information identifies the Department of Homeland Security’s FLETC Glynco Procurement Office in Brunswick, GA, as the overseeing agency and specifies the NAICS code 541612, reflecting management consulting services related to the study.
