A-76 sourcing decision deadline pushed back
White Sands Missile Range employees received an update on the A-76 competitive sourcing decision deadline Oct. 31 at the Post Theater.

WSMR Garrison Commander Col. Gary Giebel started off by dispelling rumors about the sourcing decision deadline. Giebel said the decision on the sourcing of components of the Garrison workforce has been pushed back to July of 2008. While there is the possibility that the deadline could be pushed back further, the deadline will not extend beyond January of 2009.

Sally Smoot, chief of the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center, then presented information on options employees have should they need to find a new place of employment. “Between now and the end of the competition, the primary focus of CPAC and the managers is to get everyone placed into positions,” Smoot said. She said CPAC representatives are concerned with the fact that a reduction in force will take place regardless of who wins the bid.

Message to Garrison Workforce
Public Announcement of Directorate of Public Works
and Directorate of Logistics A-76 Competition

As delivered by Col. Gary Giebel, Commander, USAG
Post Theater on July 28, 2006

To the Garrison workforce,

For those of you unfamiliar with the A-76 process, I will give you a short synopsis. OMB Circular A-76 defines the process of obtaining the best value for the provision of commercial activities. This is accomplished by utilizing the Circular A-76 standard competition process to develop a performance work statement (PWS), structure a most efficient organization (MEO) of the in-house government work force, and then compare the MEO with any qualified commercial providers based on the requirements developed in the PWS to decide which bidder (i.e. current government workforce or contractor) will win the opportunity to perform the activity.
