C -- OMB CIRCULAR A-76 Commercial Activities Study of Soil Conservation Technican Services

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Nebraska conducted an OMB Circular A-76 study to evaluate commercial contracting options for Soil Conservation Technician Services across various locations in the state. Despite the solicitation process, no technically acceptable bids were received from external contractors. Consequently, the solicitation was cancelled, and the decision was made to retain these services internally rather than outsourcing them. For those seeking further clarification or information, questions should be directed in writing to Margaret Styles, the Contracting Officer, who can be reached at the provided phone number. The solicitation, identified as NRCS-19-NE-03, was initially posted on August 15, 2003. This action aligns with a commitment to maintain service continuity and quality by keeping the Soil Conservation Technician functions within the NRCS structure.
