Q -- Public Announcement of OMB Circular A-76 Study of the HRSA, Division of Immigration Health Services (DIHS)

The contract pertains to the conclusion of a Standard Competition Study conducted under the full OMB Circular A-76 for the Division of Immigration Health Services (DIHS) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The competitive study, publicly announced on December 6, 2004, aimed to evaluate whether the functions of the DIHS should be contracted out or kept in-house. Following a thorough review and certification completed on April 13, 2006, the Contracting Officer determined that the DIHS operations would continue to be performed by incumbent government personnel organized in the most efficient manner. As a result of this decision, the work will remain a government function rather than being outsourced, reaffirming the use of the existing government workforce. The Contracting Officer will proceed with formalizing this outcome through a letter of obligation to the Program Manager responsible for the activity. Key contact for this contract is Francis R. Murphy, the Contracting Officer, available via email and phone for any related inquiries. The study falls under the NAICS code 621498, which covers outpatient care centers, consistent with the healthcare services provided by DIHS.
