The contract announcement pertains to a formal public notification under OMB Circular A-76 regarding a standard competition performance decision for human resource services provided across the National Park Service. Approximately 122 Department of Interior civilian employees currently perform these services. The competition concluded that government personnel within the National Park Service offer the most cost-effective solution for these human resource functions. Following the resolution of any contests or protests, a letter of obligation will be issued, and the responsible office will carry out post-competition accountability as dictated by the Circular’s requirements. Documentation including adjusted baseline costs and competition results will be made available upon request after the protest period ends. The National Park Service’s Competitive Sourcing Official overseeing this effort is Ms. Kate Stevenson, Assistant Director of Business Services, with Mr. Eric K.

The contract relates to services performed at various National Park Service locations throughout the country, managed through the Department of the Interior’s Dsc Contracting Services Division based in Denver, Colorado. This notice is strictly an announcement rather than a solicitation, reaffirming the decision that government personnel will continue providing these human resource services.
