R -- Clerical Services-TENTATIVE DECISION

The contract pertains to an A-76 study focusing on clerical services, where a tentative decision has been made due to the absence of responsive bids. Since no bids were received, the decision is to continue performing the clerical services function in-house rather than outsourcing. Any interested parties wishing to appeal this decision must submit their appeals in writing within 20 calendar days following the publication of the notice. The solicitation was posted on August 1, 2003, under the identifier NRCS-O8-OH-03a, but lacks further details such as agency name, place of performance, and specific NAICS code. No set-aside type or organization type information is provided, and there is no listed point of contact. The outcome signifies a preference to retain the service internally given the absence of external proposals, maintaining continuity in clerical operations.
