R--OMB A-76 Commerical Activities Study of Clerical Support Services - Tentative Decision

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conducted a Direct Conversion with Cost Comparison study under OMB Circular A-76 to evaluate the performance of clerical support services. The study resulted in no technically acceptable offers from external sources, leading to the decision that these clerical support functions will continue to be performed in-house. This tentative decision signifies that the NRCS will maintain internal performance of these services rather than outsourcing. Stakeholders or interested parties have the opportunity to submit appeals in writing within 20 calendar days following the publication of this notice. Detailed cost comparison data is available upon request by contacting the designated Contracting Officer, Ronald Joyner. Inquiries related to this decision can also be directed to him through the provided phone, fax, or email contacts. This process ensures transparency and allows affected parties to engage regarding the study and its findings.
