The purpose of this Streamlined Non-MEO A-76 study is to determine whether it is cheaper for industry or the Government to continue to perform the operation as-is, as prescribed in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, "Performance of Commercial Activities", which sets forth the general policy of the Government to achieve economy and enhance productivity. The circular requires Federal agencies to review their commercial activities (CA) functions under several methods to determine whether it would be more economical to continue operating them in-house (i.e., with Government employees) or under contract with commercial sources. The method chosen by the Department of Labor for Administrative Support is a Streamlined Non-MEO study. Reviews shall be conducted in accordance with Circular A-76. This synopsis serves to publish not only the official start date in FEDBIZOPPS at www.eps.gov., but to provide essential information about the study and to seek industry quotes on this current AS-IS effort. The Competitive Sourcing Official (CSO) is Mr. Patrick Pizzella, the Agency Tender Official is Mr. Dennis Sprouse, the Contracting Officer/SSA is Mr. Peter Higginbotham, the PWS Team Leader is Ms. Sareen Gerson, and the HRA is Mr. Douglas Goodell. Note for industry: this will be the only announcement. There will be NO Formal RFQ issued under the non-MEO streamlined process. You are requested to provide best supportable market cost or market pricing on the exact positions geographically disbursed throughout the United States, ensuring you meet all statutory and other Service Contract Act requirements. Industry quotes must be delivered and received by mail No Later Than May 2, 2005, in the hands of the Contracting Officer for the Office of Competitive Sourcing at the location described herein. Your market quotes must be fully documented and supported in the following manner: Provide a hard copy cover letter, and include a CD ROM that contains your pricing quote listing each position FTE Position (by equivalent industry category) by geographical location, priced out at 2080 paid hours, including all required fringe and legal benefits as FT on an Excel Spreadsheet. Certify and support your claim that in 30 days your firm would be able to have all required personnel in place and fully trained and ready to take over the Administrative Support functions at these locations using all Government provided software, equipment and facilities, and indicate that you would be able to obtain bonding, if required. The cost comparison process as follows: In accordance with the A76 Circular, and Federal Acquisition Regulations, the Contracting Officer will analyze market pricing or quote received against the Government?s As-Is estimate to perform the function at the As-Is staffing level and make a final decision. If it appears that market pricing or quotes are properly supported, showing substantive proof that the quoted pricing is more cost effective than the government?s, a decision may be made to issue a formal RFP and ultimately go contract, as a formal cost proposal is not currently being sought from industry. If the government as-is organization estimate is more cost effective a decision shall be rendered to retain the function in-house. This will be the only announcement made for this effort.
