E-MAIL: Merilyn Monserrate, merilyn.monserrate@randolph.af.mil. An OMB Circular A-76 cost study of Operations and Support Services at Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB), Wichita Falls, Texas was announced in Congress in September 1999. The cost comparison involves 13 military officers, 232 enlisted, 265 civilians and 13 non-appropriated fund (NAF) employees. The Sheppard A-76 Base Operations Services (BOS) Study resulted in the development of 18 general functional areas to be included in the study. These areas have been divided into two separate BOS dubbed Big BOS and Little BOS. A single award for 13 functional areas may be made under full and open competition for Big BOS. A second award for 5 functional areas is set-aside for Small Business for Little BOS. The functional areas to be included in Big BOS are: Grounds and Site Maintenance, Utilities and Energy Management, Transportation, Communications & Information Technology, Supply Services, Space Management, Trainer Maintenance, Operations and Maintenance, Environmental Management, Engineering Services, Custodial/Housekeeping, Emergency Management, and Housing. The functional areas to be included in Little BOS are: Human Resources, Record/Publishing Management, Visual Information Services, Community Services, and Marketing & Publicity. In support of the study, SAFB will hold an Industry Information Exchange meeting on Thursday, 1 Jun 2000, at Sheppard AFB Community Activity Center, Bldg. 430, 7:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. Information and registration forms for this Industry day is available at http://bsx.org .

Special notice to Small Business: Small Business Administration (SBA) rules on affiliation, teaming and limitations of subcontracting have changed. Briefly, in pursuing a set-aside contract small business may now team together (and even affiliate) and be eligible for award of a set-aside contract. The new affiliation rules allow a set-aside when there is an expectation of two or more competitive offers from small business teams (small business prime contractor with small and large business subcontractors), when at least 50% of the services will be preformed by the collective efforts of all small business members of the team.
