D -- IT Development and Support Services

The contract notification announces the initiation of a streamlined competition for Information Technology Development and Support services for the EPA’s Region 6 facility in Dallas, Texas, following revised OMB Circular A-76 procedures. Currently, these services are provided by government staff equating to 5.6 full-time equivalents. Importantly, no solicitation will be issued, and proposals will not be accepted; instead, the cost of private sector performance will be determined through market research. This competition is managed by Competitive Sourcing Official Luis Luna and Contracting Officer Jill E. Robbins, with the process expected to conclude by May 28, 2006. All inquiries related to this competition are to be directed via email. The contract falls under NAICS code 519190, which pertains to IT services, and is overseen by the Headquarters Acquisition Division of the EPA based in Washington, DC. Although specific location details within Dallas are not provided, the effort supports the EPA’s Region 6 operations. This streamlined approach emphasizes assessing cost-effectiveness between government and private sector provision without a formal solicitation process, reflecting the agency's adherence to competitive sourcing policies.
