R -- OMB Circular A-76 Streamlined Competition for Human Resources Operations

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is conducting a streamlined competition for human resources operations within its Office of Human Resources, involving 17 full-time equivalent positions located in Washington, D.C. This process follows the guidelines established by OMB Circular A-76 and aims to determine whether contracting these services to an external provider is more cost-effective than continuing performance by government personnel. Currently, these services are performed in-house by government employees, and this announcement serves only to notify interested parties of the potential competition; no solicitation has been issued at this time. If a solicitation is issued, it will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website. However, the FTA reserves the right not to proceed with contracting if in-house performance is deemed less costly. Key officials for this streamlined competition include Robert Jamison as the Competitive Sourcing Official, Brenda Wilson as the Agency Tender Official, and Sherrill King as the Contracting Officer. The projected date for the completion of this competition is on or before August 13, 2004. The contract falls under NAICS code 541612 and is managed within the Department of Transportation, specifically the Office of the Senior Procurement Executive.
