R -- A-76 Commercial Activities Study for Clerical Support Services for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Vermont - Final Decision

The contract pertains to the final decision of the A-76 Commercial Activities Study conducted by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) regarding clerical support services in Vermont. Following a USDA Streamlined Competition to evaluate whether these services should be outsourced to commercial providers or retained internally, the determination was made that the performance of clerical support functions will remain in-house. This decision underscores the agency’s intent to continue managing clerical tasks internally rather than contracting them out. The solicitation, identified as NRCS-VT-03-6FinalDecision and posted on September 2, 2003, relates specifically to this competitive study and its outcome. Although specific details such as NAICS codes, set-aside designations, and precise office locations are not provided, the core focus remains on maintaining internal provision of clerical support services within the NRCS in Vermont. This ensures continuity of operations under current government employees rather than shifting to external commercial vendors.
