R -- Announcement of Results for Streamlined Study (Ref. No. CMS-A-76-04) - Career and Organizational Development/Instructional Services

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) conducted a Streamlined Competition study under the Revised Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Career and Organizational Development/Instructional Services. Initiated in late March 2004 and finalized by mid-June 2004, the study concluded that maintaining the commercial activity internally is more economical than outsourcing. This decision involves retaining twenty-five full-time Federal Government employees to continue performing these services in-house. The study was carried out at CMS headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland, under solicitation number CMS-A-76-4-1b and relates to NAICS code 541990, which covers various professional, scientific, and technical services. The Contracting Officer in charge of this announcement is William J Tate, who can be contacted via email or phone for further details. This streamlined sourcing decision reflects CMS's focus on efficient use of resources while ensuring continuity of essential career and organizational development services.
