R--2nd Notice - OMB Circular A-76 Commercial Activities Study of Mail and Supply Services

The United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is conducting a Direct Conversion with Cost Comparison Study for mail and supply services at its office in Davis, California. Currently, these services are performed by Government personnel, and the study aims to determine if contracting out these services would be more cost-effective. This announcement is the second notice for this opportunity, targeting new interested parties; those who responded to the first notice are not to respond again. It is important to note that this is not a request for proposals and does not commit the Government to award a contract, as a contract may only be awarded if it proves less costly than in-house operations. Interested companies classified under the NAICS Code 561110 (Office Administrative Services) are invited to express their interest by sending an email to the designated contact no later than April 23, 2003. The solicitation is expected to be released on or about April 30, 2003, and will be available on the Federal Business Opportunities site. Responses must include company contact details such as name, email, mailing address, phone, and fax number. This process follows guidelines stipulated in OMB Circular A-76 concerning commercial activity studies.
