R--A-76 Express Review Study for Clerical Support Services

The contract pertains to a reannouncement of an acquisition initially issued as a Sources Sought Notice under the Professional, Administrative, and Management Support Service category. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is conducting an Express Review Study focused on Clerical Support services at two Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) offices located in Greensburg and Dubois, Pennsylvania. This study will evaluate whether these clerical functions, currently performed by federal employees, should continue in-house or be converted to a contract-based solution. Notably, the scope of the study has been adjusted from three positions to two, reflecting a retirement that will not be replaced by a federal worker. The study is part of a USDA Express Review process under solicitation number NRCS-A76-3-PA-03A, posted in June 2003. Upon completion, results will be publicly announced on FedBizOpps, where a public review period will also be established. This allows interested parties to assess the findings before any decision is made regarding a formal solicitation for contracting the clerical support services. The overall purpose is to determine the most effective and efficient method to provide these support services at the designated NRCS offices.
