D -- A-76 Tenative Decision

The Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP) has conducted a cost comparison study for IT Services as directed by OMB Circular A-76, determining that the function will continue to be performed in-house rather than outsourced. This decision reflects a streamlined review process evaluating the cost-effectiveness and suitability of maintaining internal operations for these services. The announcement of this tentative decision was made on April 4, 2002, marking the start of a 20-day appeal period during which interested parties may challenge the outcome. This action, referenced under solicitation number NAVICPNC20000603, emphasizes NAVICP’s commitment to carefully analyzing cost and operational efficiency before finalizing service arrangements. While details such as specific location, agency name, and office contacts are not provided, the critical information centers on the retention of IT service functions within NAVICP and the opportunity for appeals, ensuring transparency and procedural fairness in adherence to federal guidelines.
