Performance of Commercial Activities

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposes major revisions to Circular No. A-76 to improve the management of commercial activities that are needed to conduct the business of government. The revisions would expand the use of public-private competitions to all activities performed in-house and through commercial inter-service support agreements (ISSAs). The revisions would also incorporate principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) into the competitive sourcing process, including the ability to conduct an expanded best value cost-technical trade-off source selection process. In addition, the revisions would provide guidance for the development of inventories identifying the commercial and inherently governmental activities agencies perform, and prescribe limitations regarding the reimbursable services federal agencies may provide to state and local governments. To accomplish these changes, OMB is proposing to revise and incorporate the following documents into the revised Circular A-76: the "Revised Supplemental Handbook to OMB Circular A-76" (March 1999); OMB Circular A-76 Transmittal Memoranda Nos. 1-24; Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Policy Letter
