R--Standard Study of Administrative/Clerical Commercial Functions in Arlington, VA, Washington, D.C., and Laurel, Maryland

The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), part of the Department of the Interior, has announced a standard competition to evaluate administrative and clerical functions currently performed by government personnel in its Washington, DC Region 9 Headquarters Office and surrounding areas including Arlington, VA, Washington, DC, and Laurel, MD. This competition is conducted in compliance with OMB Circular A-76, comparing the cost-effectiveness of government operations against private sector proposals. The assessment aims to identify the most efficient organization to perform these commercial functions, with a projected completion timeline of approximately 12 months from the announcement date. The solicitation is identified under NAICS code 56110 and involves key officials such as P. Lynn Scarlett, the Department of Interior Competitive Sourcing Official; Denise Sheehan, the FWS Competitive Sourcing Official; David L. Morgan, the Contracting Officer; and Gary Frazer, the Agency Tender Official. Interested parties or inquiries should be directed to David L. Morgan. The contract pertains specifically to administrative and clerical services in the offices located within reasonable commuting distance of the headquarters in Falls Church, VA. The process underscores the government's effort to benchmark and potentially improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of shared services by opening them to a competitive sourcing study.
