Z -- Announcement of A-76 Streamline Review Decision

The contract concerns a Streamline Study of the R5 Pacific Southwest Region Trails Maintenance Activities, which involved an analysis of the efforts of 99 full-time equivalent employees. The study was conducted following the "U.S. Department of Agriculture Guide for Conducting a Streamline Review Competitive Sourcing Study" to evaluate whether the work should be continued in-house or outsourced. On September 22, 2003, a decision was reached to retain the performance of these activities within the existing organization, maintaining the current provisions and staffing structure. This decision was formally announced on October 21, 2003, under the solicitation number RFP-R5-13-03-0131, by the Sierra National Forest office, part of the Department of Agriculture. The office overseeing the contract is located in Clovis, California. The contract does not indicate a specific NAICS code, set-aside type, or additional place of performance details. The outcome ensures that the trails maintenance work for the region continues under the management and labor of current government employees rather than seeking external competitive sourcing options.
