R--OMB Circular A-76 Commercial Activities -- Study of Mail and File Clerk Services

The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Hawaii conducted a USDA Express Review Study to evaluate the Mail and File Clerk Services under the A-76 Commercial Activities guidelines. The purpose of the study was to perform a cost comparison to determine the most efficient method of delivering these services, whether through outsourcing or continued in-house performance. Following the evaluation, the decision was made to retain the Mail and File Clerk functions in-house, indicating that performing these services internally was found to be more advantageous or cost-effective. The contract, titled "R--OMB Circular A-76 Commercial Activities -- Study of Mail and File Clerk Services," was formally posted on July 8, 2003, under the solicitation number NRCS-HI-03-11(FD). Although specific details such as the type of set-aside, NAICS code, agency name, and precise location are not provided, the study is significant as it aligns with public sector cost-saving and efficiency measures typically associated with A-76 studies. The retention of in-house service suggests confidence in current operations' ability to meet organizational needs effectively without outsourcing.
