R--Streamlined Competition on administrative/clerical commercial functions IAW OMB Circular A-76

The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), part of the Department of the Interior, is conducting a streamlined competition for administrative and clerical commercial functions at its Anchorage, AK Region 7 Headquarters Office. This effort follows the guidelines set forth in OMB Circular A-76 and involves approximately twenty current Government personnel performing these functions. The process will compare the cost effectiveness of the Government’s most efficient organization against private sector proposals to determine the best service delivery method. The competition is expected to conclude within 135 days from the announcement date, and the relevant NAICS code is 561110. At this stage, no solicitation has been issued, as this announcement serves as a presolicitation notification. Key officials overseeing this competition include P. Lynn Scarlett, Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management, and Budget at the Department of the Interior; Denise Sheehan, Assistant Director for Budget, Planning, and Human Resources at FWS; Contracting Officer James McCaffery; and Agency Tender Official Nancy Gloman. Although the office managing this effort is located in Falls Church, VA, the place of performance is Anchorage, Alaska, focusing on maintaining administrative and clerical services efficiently and cost-effectively.
