R--PERFORMANCE DECISION OF A STREAMLINED COMPETITION STUDY UNDER OMB A-76, HRSA ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES

This contract pertains to the performance decision resulting from a streamlined competition study conducted under OMB Circular A-76 for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Architectural and Engineering Services. A public notification was issued on June 25, 2003, announcing the competition study, which was completed and formally certified on August 5, 2003. After reviewing the streamlined competition form (SLCF), the Contracting Officer decided that the functions and operations of HRSA’s Architectural and Engineering Services should continue to be performed in-house by the incumbent government personnel, comprising 13 full-time equivalents (FTEs). In accordance with the revised OMB Circular A-76 dated May 29, 2003, this decision is final and cannot be contested by any party. Following this determination, the Contracting Officer will execute a letter of obligation with the Program Manager responsible for the performing activity to formalize the continuation of these services internally. This action ensures the maintenance of these services under government management without transitioning to external contractors.
