Z -- OMB Circular A-76 Streamlined Competition Mechanical Operations GSA, PBS, Heartland Region

The General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service (PBS) is conducting a Streamlined Competition under OMB Circular A-76 to evaluate the potential outsourcing of Mechanical Operations services, including HVAC Operations and Maintenance, Electrical Operations Maintenance, Pipefitting, Plumbing and Sewage Operations and Maintenance, and Miscellaneous Facilities Work. These services are currently performed by 10 full-time Government employees located in Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. The process is an internal review and is not a solicitation for proposals; no contract will be awarded unless it is demonstrated that contractor performance costs do not exceed those of the in-house Government workforce. Key officials involved include Susan Marshall as the Competitive Sourcing Official, Bill McGowan as the Agency Tender Official, and Ray Wessling as the Contracting Officer. The projected conclusion for this competition is on or before June 22, 2004. Interested parties are informed that this announcement does not represent a request for proposals, and no solicitation is or will be issued unless it is cost-effective to outsource these services. The NAICS code for this activity is 811310, and the associated office is located in Kansas City, Missouri, under the PBS R6 Services Acquisition Branch.
