PERFORMANCE DECISION OF A STREAMLINED COMPETITION STUDY UNDER OMB CIRCULAR A-76, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

On June 17, 2008, a public notification was issued for a streamlined competition study under OMB Circular A-76 concerning the management operations function at the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) regional office in Boston, Massachusetts. After an evaluation adhering to procurement integrity and ethics guidelines, including restrictions under 18 U.S.C. 208, the ACF Competitive Sourcing Representative certified the completion of the study on September 12, 2008. The resulting performance decision determined that these management operations functions would continue to be performed by the government rather than being outsourced. In line with OMB Circular A-76 procedures, the streamlined competition form is available upon public request, although no party is permitted to challenge any part of the competition. The contract, titled "Performance Decision of a Streamlined Competition Study under OMB Circular A-76," falls under the NAICS code 561499 and was posted on October 10, 2008. Key contacts include Shkeda Johnson, a Management Analyst who serves as the ACF point of contact, as well as Anne F. Hunt, a Contract Specialist. Both are available to provide additional information regarding the competition and its outcome. The study pertains exclusively to internal government performance, focusing on maintaining the current government workforce for these operations.
