R -- A 76 Streamlined Cost Comparison Study HHS ACF Region VII

The Department of Health and Human Services, through its Administration for Children and Families, is conducting a Streamlined Cost Comparison Study under the guidelines of OMB Circular A-76. This study focuses on evaluating administrative and clerical support functions within the ACF office located in Region VII, specifically in Kansas City, Missouri. The current service provision is handled by eleven Federal employees, and the study aims to assess the cost-effectiveness and potential competitive sourcing options for these functions. Key officials overseeing the process include Curtis Coy, serving as the Competitive Sourcing Official, and Michele Trotter as the Contracting Officer. The initiative is associated with NAICS code 561110, which covers administrative and support services. The competitive sourcing activity is expected to conclude by January 8, 2006, marking the projected end date for this evaluation and potential contract decisions.
