R--A76 Streamlined Cost Comparison - Results

The contract pertains to a streamlined competitive study conducted under OMB Circular A-76, initiated by a public notification on June 28, 2005, aimed at evaluating the administrative support functions at the FWS Regional Office in Hadley, Massachusetts. Following the study, completed and certified on November 7, 2005, it was determined that these functions would continue to be performed in-house by the Government's Most Efficient Organization (MEO). The process followed strict adherence to procurement integrity, ethics, and standards of conduct, including restrictions imposed by federal law, and no aspect of the streamlined competition may be contested under the revised OMB Circular A-76 guidelines effective since May 29, 2003. As a result of the outcome, the Contracting Officer is responsible for executing a Letter of Obligation with the senior manager overseeing the function's performance. The contract data indicates this action is associated with the Department of the Interior’s FWS Headquarters located in Falls Church, Virginia, with the solicitation number DOI-SNOTE-051116-001. The competitive sourcing official's certification and the decision process are documented in a Streamlined Competition Certification Letter Form (SCLF), which is available to the public upon written request to the Contracting Officer. Directly interested parties, specifically the Agency Tender Official and an employee-appointed agent, are the only entities allowed to address inquiries, which must be directed to the Contracting Officer via the contact information provided in the original announcement.
