National United States Regulations 32 CFR PART 169a—COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES PROGRAM PROCEDURES Title 32: National Defense PART 169a—COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES PROGRAM PROCEDURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301 and 552. Source: 50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, unless otherwise noted. Subpart A—General top § 169a.1 Purpose. top This part: (a) Reissues DoD Instruction 4100.33 1 to update policy, procedures, and responsibilities required by DoD Directive 4100.15 2 and OMB Circular A–76 3 for use by the Department of Defense (DoD) to determine whether needed commercial activities (CAs) should be accomplished by DoD personnel or by contract with a commercial source. 1 Copies may be obtained, at cost, from the National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161 2 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). 3 Copies may be obtained if needed, from the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503. (b) Cancels DoD 4100.33–H, 4 “DoD In-House vs. Contract Commercial and Industrial Activities Cost Comparison Handbook.” 4 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). § 169a.2 Applicability and scope. top This part: (a) Applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies and DoD Field Activities (hereafter referred to collectively as the “DoD Components”). (b) Contains DoD procedures for CAs in the United States, its territories and possessions, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. (c) Is not mandatory for CAs staffed solely with DoD civilian personnel paid by nonappropriated funds, such as military exchanges. However, this part is mandatory for CAs when they are staffed partially with DoD civilian personnel paid by or reimbursed from appropriated funds, such as libraries, open messes, and other morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) activities. When related installation support functions are being cost-compared under a single solicitation, a DoD Component may decide that it is practical to include activities staffed solely with DoD civilian personnel paid by nonappropriated funds. (d) Does not apply to DoD governmental functions are defined in §169a.3. (e) Does not apply when contrary to law, Executive orders, or any treaty or international agreement. (f) Does not apply in times of a declared war or military mobilization. (g) Does not provide authority to enter into contracts. (h) Does not apply to the conduct of research and development, except for severable in-house CAs that support research and development, such as those listed in appendix A to this part. (i) Does not justify conversion to contract solely to avoid personnel ceilings or salary limitations. (j) Doe not authorize contracts that establish employer-employee relations between the Department of Defense and contractor employees as described in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 48 CFR 37.104. (k) Does not establish and shall not be construed to create any substantive or procedural basis for anyone to challenge any DoD action or inaction on the basis that such action or inaction was not in accordance with this part except as specifically set forth in §169a.15(d). [57 FR 29207, July 1, 1992] § 169a.3 Definitions. top Commercial activity review. The process of evaluating CAs for the purpose of determining whether or not a cost comparison will be conducted. Commercial source. A business or other non-Federal activity located in the United States, its territories and possessions, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico that provides a commercial product or service. Conversion to contract. The changeover of a CA from performance by DoD personnel to performance under contract by a commercial source. Conversion to in-house. The changeover of a CA from performance under contract by a commercial source to performance by DoD personnel. Cost comparison. The process of developing an estimate of the cost of performance of a CA by DoD employees and comparing it, in accordance with the requirements in this part, to the cost to the Government for contract performance of the CA. Directly affected parties. DoD employees and their representative organizations and bidders or offerers on the solicitation. Displaced DoD employee. Any DoD employee affected by conversion to contract operation (including such actions as job elimination, grade reduction, or reduction in rank). It includes both employees in the function converted to contract and to employees outside the function who are affected adversely by conversion through reassignment or the exercise of bumping or retreat rights. DoD Commercial Activity (CA). An activity that provides a product or service obtainable (or obtained) from a commercial source. A DoD CA is not a Governmental function. A DoD CA may be an organization or part of another organization. It must be a type of work that is separable from other functions or activities so that it is suitable for performance by contract. A representative list of the functions performed by such activities is provided in Enclosure 1. A DoD CA falls into one of two categories: (a) In-house CA. A DoD CA operated by a DoD Component with DoD personnel. (b) Contract CA. A DoD CA managed by a DoD Component operated with contractor personnel. DoD Employee. Refers to only civilian personnel of the Department of Defense. DoD governmental function. A function that is related so intimately to the public interest as to mandate performance by DoD personnel. These functions require either the exercise of discretion in applying Government authority or the use of value judgement in making the decision for the Department of Defense. Services or products in support of Governmental functions such as those listed in enclosure 3 of DoD Instruction 4100.33 are normally subject to this part and its implementing instructions. Governmental functions normally fall into two categories: (a) The act of governing; that is, the discretionary exercise of Governmental authority. Examples include criminal investigations, prosecutions, and other judicial functions; management of Governmental programs requiring value judgments, as in direction of the national defense; management and direction of the Armed Services; activities performed exclusively by military personnel who are subject to deployment in a combat, combat support, or combat service support role; conduct of foreign relations; selection of program priorities; direction of Federal employees; regulation of the use of space, oceans, navigable rivers, and other natural resources; direction of intelligence and counterintelligence operations; and regulation of industry and commerce, including food and drugs. (b) Monetary transactions and entitlements, such as tax collection and revenue disbursements; control of the money supply treasury accounts; and the administration of public trusts. DoD personnel. Refers to both military and civilian personnel of the Department of Defense. Expansion. The modernization, replacement, upgrading, or enlargement of a DoD CA involving a cost increase exceeding either 30 percent of the total capital investment or 30 percent of the annual personnel and material costs. A consolidation of two or more CAs is not an expansion unless the proposed total capital investment or annual personnel and material costs of the consolidation exceeds the total of the individual CAs by 30 percent or more. New requirement. A recently established need for a commercial product or service. A new requirement does not include interim in-house operation of essential services pending reacquisition of the services prompted by such action as the termination of an existing contract operation. Preferential procurement programs. Mandatory source programs such as Federal Prison Industries (FPI) and the workshops administered by the Committee for Purchase from the Blind and Other Severely Handicapped under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act. Also included are small, minority and disadvantaged businesses, and labor surplus area set-asides and awards made under 15 U.S.C. section 637. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29207, July 1, 1992] § 169a.4 Policy. top (a) Ensure DoD mission accomplishment. The implementation of this part shall consider the overall DoD mission and the defense objective of maintaining readiness and sustainability to ensure a capability for mobilizing the defense and support structure. (b) Retain governmental functions in-house. Certain functions that are inherently governmental in nature, and intimately related to the public interest, mandate performance by DoD personnel only. These functions are not in competition with commercial sources; therefore, these functions shall be performed by DoD personnel. (c) Rely on the commercial sector. DoD Components shall rely on commercially available sources to provide commercial products and services, except when required for national defense, when no satisfactory commercial source is available, or when in the best interest of direct patient care. DoD Components shall not consider an in-house new requirement, an expansion of an in-house requirement, conversion to in-house, or otherwise carry on any CAs to provide commercial products or services if the products or services can be procured more economically from commercial sources. (d) Achieve economy and enhance productivity. Encourage competition with the objective of enhancing quality, economy, and performance. When performance by a commercial source is permissible, a comparison of the cost of contracting and the cost of in-house performance shall be performed to determine who shall provide the best value for the Government, considering price and other factors included in the solicitation. If the installation commander has reason to believe that it may not be cost effective to make an award under mandatory source programs, section 8(a) of the Small Business Act or any other noncompetitive preferential procurement program, a cost comparison, or any other cost analysis, although not required by OMB Circular A–76, may be performed. Performance history will be considered in the source selection process, and high quality performance should be rewarded. (e) Delegate decision authority and responsibility. DoD Components shall delegate decision authority and responsibility to lower organization levels, giving more authority to the doers, and linking responsibility with that authority. This shall facilitate the work that installation commanders must perform without limiting their freedom to do their jobs. When possible, the installation commanders should have the freedom to make intelligent use of their resources, while preserving the essential wartime capabilities of U.S. support organizations in accordance with DoD Directive 4001.15. 5 5 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). (f) Share resources saved. When possible, make available to the installation commander a share of any resources saved or earned so that the commander can improve operations or working and living conditions on the installation. (g) Provide Placement Assistance. Provide a variety of placement assistance to employees whose Federal jobs are eliminated through CA competitions. (h) Permit interim-in-house operation. A DoD in-house CA may be established on a temporary basis if a contractor defaults. Action shall be taken to resolicit bids or proposals in accordance with this part. [57 FR 29207, July 1, 1992] Subpart B—Procedures top § 169a.8 Inventory and review schedule (Report Control Symbol DD-P&L(A)). top (a) Information in each DoD Component's inventory shall be used to assess DoD implementation of OMB Circular A–76 and for other purposes. Each Component's inventory shall be updated at least annually to reflect changes to their review schedule and the results of reviews, cost comparisons, and direct conversions. Updated inventories for all DoD Components except National Security Agency/Central Security Service (NSA/CSS) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Shall be submitted to the Assistant Secretary of Defense Production and Logistics) (ASD(P&L)) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. Inventory data pertaining to NSA/CSS and DIA shall be held at the specific Agency concerned for subsequent review by properly cleared personnel. Appendix A to this part provides the codes and explanations for functional areas and Appendix B to this part provides procedures for submitting the inventory. (b) DoD component's review schedules should be coordinated with the DoD Component's Efficiency Review Program and the Defense Regional Interservice Support (DRIS) Program to preclude duplication of efforts and to make use of information already available. (c) Review of CAs that provide interservice support shall be scheduled by the supplying DoD Component. Subsequent cost comparisons, when appropriate, shall be executed by the same DoD Component. All affected DoD Components shall be notified of the intent to perform a review. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29208, July 1, 1992] § 169a.9 Reviews: Existing in-house commercial activities. top (a) DoD components shall conduct reviews of in-house CAs in accordance with their established review schedules. Existing in-house CAs, once reviewed shall be retained in-house without a cost comparison only when certain conditions are satisfied. (Detailed documentation will be maintained to support the decision to continue in-house performance). These conditions are as follows: (1) National Defense. In most cases, application of this criteria shall be made considering the wartime and peacetime duties of the specific positions involved rather than in terms of broad functions. (i) A CA, staffed with military personnel who are assigned to the activity, may be retained in-house for national defense reason when the following apply. (A) The CA is essential for training or experience in required military skills; (B) The CA is needed to provide appropriate work assignments for a rotation base for overseas or sea-to-shore assignments; or (C) The CA is necessary to provide career progression to needed military skill levels. (ii) Core logistics activities. The core logistics capability reported to Congress, March 29, 1984, under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 2646 is comprised of the facilities, equipment, and management personnel at the activities listed in the report. The work at those activities may be performed by either government or contractor personnel, whichever is more cost effective. Core logistics activities reported to Congress under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 2646, shall be retained in-house unless the Secretary of Defense grants a waiver as provided for in 10 U.S.C. 2464. Requests for waivers shall be submitted to the ASD (P&L). DoD Components may propose to the ASD (P&L) additional core logistics capability for inclusion in the list of core logistics activities. Core logistics activities reported to Congress as additions to the original list shall be retained in-house unless subsequently waived by the Secretary of Defense. (iii) If the DoD Component has a larger number of similar CAs with a small number of essential military personnel in each CA, action shall be taken, when appropriate, to consolidate the military positions consistent with military requirements so that economical performance by either DoD civilian employees or by contract can be explored for accomplishing a portion of the work. (iv) The DoD Components may propose to the ASD (P&L) other criteria for exempting CAs for national defense reasons. (2) No satisfactory commercial source available. A DoD commercial activity may be performed by DoD personnel when it can be demonstrated that: (i) There is no satisfactory commercial source capable of providing the product or service that is needed. Before concluding that there is no satisfactory commercial source available, the DoD Component shall make all reasonable efforts to identify available sources. (A) DoD Components' efforts to find satisfactory commercial sources shall be carried out in accordance with the FAR and Defense FAR Supplement (DFAS) including review of bidders lists and inventories of contractors, consideration of preferential procurement programs, and requests for help from Government agencies such as the Small Business Administration. (B) Where the availability of commercial sources is uncertain, the DoD Component will place up to three notices of the requirement in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) over a 90-day period. (Notices will be in the format specified in FAR, 48 CFR part 5 and part 7, subpart 7.3) When a bona fide urgent requirement occurs, the publication period in the CBD may be reduced to two notices, 15 days apart. Specifications and requirements in the notice will not be unduly restrictive and will not exceed those required of Government personnel or operations. (ii) Use of a commercial source would cause an unacceptable delay or disruption of an essential program. In-house operation of a commercial activity on the basis that use of a commercial source would cause an unacceptable delay or disrupt an essential DoD program requires a specific documented explanation. (A) The delay or disruption must be specific as to cost, time, and performance measures. (B) The disruption must be shown to be a lasting or unacceptable nature. Temporary disruption caused by conversion to contract is not sufficient support for the use of this criteria. (C) The fact that a DoD commercial activity involves a classified program, or is part of a DoD Component's basic mission, or that there is the possibility of a strike by contract employees is not adequate reason for Government performance of that activity. Further, urgency alone is not an adequate reason to continue Government operation of a commercial activity. It must be shown that commercial sources are not able, and the Government is able, to provide the product or service when needed. (D) Use of an exemption due to an unacceptable delay or disruption of an essential program shall be approved by the DoD Component's central point of contact office. This authority may be redelegated. (3) Patient Care. Commercial activities at DoD hospitals may be performed by DoD personnel when it is determined by the head of the DoD Component or his designee, in consultation with the DoD Component's chief medical director, that performance by DoD personnel would be in the best interest of direct patient care. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29208, July 1, 1992] § 169a.10 Contracts. top When contract cost becomes unreasonable or performance becomes unsatisfactory, the requirement must be resolicited. If the DoD Component competes in the resolicitation, then a cost comparison of a contracted CA shall be performed in accordance with part III of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76 (Office of Federal Procurement Policy pamphlet No. 4) 6 , part II of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76 (Management Study Guide) 7 , part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76 (Cost Comparison Handbook) 8 , if in-house performance is feasible. When contracted CAs are justified for conversion to in-house performance, the contract will be allowed to expire (options will not be exercised) once in-house capability is established. 6 See footnote 3 to §169a.1(a). 7 See footnote 3 to §169a.1(a). 8 See footnote 3 to §169a.1(a). [57 FR 29208, July 1, 1992] § 169a.11 Expansions. top In cases where expansion of an in-house commercial activity is anticipated, a review of the entire commercial activity, including the proposed expansion, shall be conducted to determine if performance by DoD personnel is authorized for national defense reasons, because no commercial source is available, or because it is in the best interest of direct patient care. If performance by DoD personnel is not justified under these criteria, a cost comparison of the entire activity shall be performed. Government facilities and equipment normally will not be expanded to accommodate expansions if adequate and cost effective contractor facilities and equipment are available. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29208, July 1, 1992] § 169a.12 New requirements. top (a) In cases where a new requirement for a commercial product or service is anticipated, a review shall be conducted to determine if performance by DoD personnel is authorized for national defense reasons, because no commercial source is available, or because it is in the best interest of direct patient care. If performance by DoD personnel is not justified under these criteria, then the new requirement normally shall be performed by contract. (b) If there is reason to believe that commercial prices may be unreasonable, a preliminary cost analysis shall be conducted to determine whether it is likely that the work can be performed in-house at a cost that is less than anticipated for contract performance. If in-house performance appears to be more economical, a cost comparison shall be scheduled. The appropriate conversion differentials will be added to the preliminary in-house cost before it is determined that in-house performance is likely to be more economical. (c) Government facilities and equipment normally will not be expanded to accommodate new requirements if adequate and cost-effective contractor facilities are available. The requirement for Government ownership of facilities does not obviate the possibility of contract operation. If justification for in-house operation is dependent on relative cost, the cost comparison may be delayed to accommodate the lead time necessary for acquiring the facilities. (d) Approval or disapproval of in-house performance of new requirements involving a capital investment of $500,000 or more will not be redelegated below the level of DAS or equivalent. (e) Approval to budget for a major capital investment associated with a new requirement will not constitute OSD approval to perform the new requirement with DoD personnel. Government performance shall be determined in accordance with this part. § 169a.13 CAs involving forty-five or fewer DoD civilian employees. top (a) When adequately justified under the criteria required in Appendix C to this part, CAs involving 11 to 45 DoD civilian employees may be competed based on simplified cost comparison procedures and 10 or fewer DoD civilian employees may be directly converted to contract without the use of a simplified cost comparison. Such conversion shall be approved by the DoD Component's central point of contact office having the responsibility for implementation of this part. Part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76 and Appendix C to this part shall be utilized to define the specific elements of costs to be estimated in the simplified cost comparison. (b) In no case shall any CA involving more than forty-five employees be modified, reorganized, divided, or in any way changed for the purpose of circumventing the requirement to perform a full cost comparison. (c) The decision to perform a simplified cost comparison on a CA involving military personnel and 11 to 45 DoD Civilian employees reflects a management decision that the work need not be performed in-house. Therefore, all direct military personnel costs will be estimated in the simplified cost comparison (see Appendix C to this part) on the basis of civilian performance. (d) A most efficient and cost-effective organization analysis certification is required for studies involving 11 to 45 DoD civilian employees (see Appendix C to this part). [57 FR 29208, July 1, 1992] § 169a.14 Military personnel commercial activity. top Commercial activities performed exclusively by military personnel not subject to deployment in a combat, combat support, or combat service support role may be converted to contract without a cost comparison, when adequate competition is available and reasonable prices can be obtained from qualified commercial sources. § 169a.15 Special considerations. top (a) Signals Intelligence, Telecommunications (SIGINT) and Automated Information System (AIS) security. (1) Before making a determination that an activity involving SIGINT as prescribed in Executive Order 12333, and AIS, security should be subjected to a cost comparison, the DoD Component shall specifically identify the risk to national security and complete a risk assessment to determine if the use of commercial resources poses a potential threat to national security. Information copies of the risk assessment and a decision memorandum containing data on the acceptable and/or unacceptable risk will be maintained within the requesting DoD Component's contracting office. (2) The National Security Agency (NSA) considers the polygraph program an effective means to enhance security protection for special access type information. The risk to national security is of an acceptable level if contractor personnel assigned to the maintenance and operation of SIGINT, Computer Security (COMPUSEC) and Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment agree to an aperiodic counter-intelligence scope polygraph examination. The following clause should be included in every potential contract involving SIGINT, Telecommunications, and AIS systems: Contract personnel engaged in operation or maintaining SIGINT, COMSEC or COMPUSEC equipment or having access to classified documents or key material must consent to an aperiodic counter-intelligence scope polygraph examination administered by the Government. Contract personnel who refuse to take the polygraph examination shall not be considered for selection. (b) National intelligence. Before making a determination that an activity involving the collection/processing/production/dissemination of national intelligence as prescribed in Executive Order 12333 should be subjected to a cost comparison, the DoD Component must specifically identify the risk to national intelligence of using commercial sources. Except as noted in paragraph (a) of this section, the DoD Component shall provide its assessment of the risk to national intelligence of using commercial sources to the Director, DIA, who shall make the determination if the risk to national intelligence is unacceptable. DIA shall consult with other organizations as deemed necessary and shall provide the decision to the DoD Component. (Detailed documentation shall be maintained to support the decision). (c) Accountable Officer. (1) The functions and responsibilities of the Accountable Officer are defined by DoD 7200.10–M. 9 Those functions of the Accountable Officer that involve the exercise of substantive discretionary authority in determining the Government's requirements and controlling Government assets cannot be performed by a contractor and must be retained in-house. The responsibilities of the Accountable Officer as an individual and the position of the Accountable Officer are not contractable. 9 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). (2) Contractors can perform functions in support of the Accountable Officer and functions where they are performing in accordance with criteria defined by the Government. For instance, contractors can process requisitions, maintain stock control records, perform storage and warehousing, and make local procurements of items specified as deliverables in the contract. (3) The responsibility for administrative fund control must be retained in-house. The contractor can process all required paperwork up to funds obligation which must be done by the Government employee designated as responsible for funds control. The contractor can also process such documents as reports of survey and adjustments to stockage levels, but approval must rest with the Accountable Officer. In all cases, the administrative control of funds must be retained by the Government since contractors or their employees cannot be held responsible for violations of the United States Code. (d) Cost Comparison Process. If performance of a commercial activity by DoD personnel cannot be justified under national defense, non-availability of commercial source, or patient care criteria, than a full cost comparison shall be conducted in accordance with part II of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76, part III of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76, and part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76, to determine if performance by DoD employees is justified on the basis of lower cost (unless the criteria of §169a. and §169a. are met). The conclusion that a commercial activity will be cost compared reflects a management decision that the work need not be accomplished by military personnel. Therefore, all direct personnel costs shall be estimated on the basis of civilian performance. Funds shall be budgeted to cover either the cost of the appropriate in-house operation required to accomplish the work or the estimated cost of the contract. Neither funds nor manpower authorizations shall be removed from the activity's budget in anticipation of the outcome of a study. (1) Notification—(i) Congressional notification. DoD Components shall notify Congress of the intention to do a cost comparison involving 46 or more DoD civilian personnel. DoD Components shall annotate the notification when a cost comparison is planned at an activity listed in the report to Congress on core logistics (see section 169a.9(a)(1)(ii)). The DoD Component shall notify the ADS(P&L) of any such intent at least 5 working days before the Congressional notification. The cost comparison process begins on the date of Congressional notification. (ii) DoD employee notification. DoD Components shall, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2467(b), at least monthly during the development and preparation of the performance work statement (PWS) and management study, consult with DoD civilian employees who will be affected by the cost comparison and consider the views of such employees on the development and preparation of the PWS and management study. DoD Components may consult with such employees more frequently and on other matters relating to the cost comparison. In the case of DoD employees represented by a labor organization accorded exclusive recognition under 5 U.S.C. 7111, consultation with representatives of the labor organization satisfies the consultation requirement. Consultation with nonunion DoD civilian employees may be through such means as group meetings. Alternatively, DoD civilian employees may be invited to designate one or more representatives to speak for them. Other methods may be implemented if adequate notice is provided to the nonunion DOD civilian employees and the right to be represented during the consultations is ensured. (iii) Local notification. It is suggested that upon starting the cost comparison process, the installation make an announcement of the cost comparison, including a brief explanation of the cost-comparison process to the employees of the activity and the community. The installations' labor relations specialist also should be apprised to ensure appropriate notification to employees and their representatives in accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements. Local Interservice Support Coordinators (ISCs) and the Chair of the appropriate Joint Interservice Regional Support Group (JIRSG) also should be notified of a pending cost comparison. (2) Performance Work Statement (PWS). (i) The PWS and its Quality Assurance Plan shall be prepared in accordance with part II of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 5 for full cost comparison, simplified cost comparisons, and direct conversions of DoD personnel commercial activities. The PWS shall include reasonable performance standards that can be used to ensure a comparable level of performance for both Government and contractor and a common basis for evaluation. Employees and/or their bargaining unit representatives should be encouraged to participate in preparing or reviewing the PWS. (ii) Each DoD Component shall: (A) Prepare PWSs that are based on accurate and timely historical or projected workload data and that provide measurable and verifiable performance standards. (B) Monitor the development and use of prototype PWSs. (C) Review and initiate action to correct disagreements on PWS discrepancies. (D) Approve prototype PWSs for Component-wide use. (E) Coordinate these efforts with the other DoD Components to avoid duplication and to provide mutual assistance. (iii) Guidance on Government Property: (A) For the purposes of this instruction, Government property is defined in accordance with the 48 CFR part 45. (B) The decision to offer or not to offer Government property to a contractor shall be determined by a cost-benefit analysis justifying that the decision is in the government's best interest. The determination on Government property must be supported by current, accurate, complete information and be readily available for the independent reviewing activity. The design of this analysis shall not give a decided advantage or disadvantage to either in-house or contract competitors. The management of Government property offered to the contractor shall also be in compliance with 48 CFR part 45. (iv) If a commercial activity provides critical or sensitive services, the PWS shall include sufficient data for the in-house organization and commercial sources to prepare a plan for expansion in emergency situations. (v) DoD Components that provide interservice support to other DoD Components or Federal agencies through interservice support agreements or other arrangements shall ensure that the PWS includes this work load and is coordinated with all affected Dod Components and Federal Agencies. (vi) If there is a requirement for the commercial source to have access to classified information in order to provide the product or service, the commercial source shall be processed for a facility security clearance under the Defense Industrial Security Program in accordance with DoD Directive 5220.22 10 and DoD Regulation 5220.22–R. 11 However, if no bona fide requirement for access to classified information exists, no action shall be taken to obtain security clearance for the commercial source. 10 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). 11 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). (vii) Employees of commercial sources who do not require access to classified information for work performance, but require entry into restricted areas of the installation, may be authorized unescorted entry only when the provisions of DoD Regulation 5200.2–R 12 apply. 12 See footnote 1 to §169a.1(a). (3) Management Study. A management study shall be performed to analyze completely the method of operation necessary to establish the most efficient and cost-effective in-house organization (MEO) needed to accomplish the requirements in the PWS. The MEO must reflect only approved resources for which the commercial activity has been authorized. As a part of the management study, installations should determine if specific requirements can be met through an Inter/Intraservice Support Agreement (ISA) with other activities or Government Agencies which have excess capacity or capability. (i) The commercial activity management study is mandatory. Part III of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 provides guidance on how to conduct the management study. The study shall identify essential functions to be performed, determine performance factors, organization structure, staffing, and operating procedures for the most efficient and cost effective in-house performance of the commercial activity. The MEO becomes the basis of the Government estimate for the cost comparison with potential contractors. In this context, “efficient” (or cost-effective) means that the required level of workload (output, as described in the performance work statement) is accomplished with as little resource consumption (input) as possible without degradation in the required quality level of products or services. (ii) DoD Components have formal programs and training for the performance of management studies, and those programs are appropriate for teaching how to conduct commercial activity management studies. Part III of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 does not purport to replace the DoD Component's own management techniques, but merely to establish the basic criteria and the interrelationship between the management study and the PWS. (iii) If a commercial activity provides critical or sensitive services, the management study shall include a plan for expansion in emergency situations. (iv) Early in the management study, management will solicit the views of the employees in the commercial activity under review, and/or their representatives for their recommendations as to the MEO or ways to improve the method of operation. (v) The management study will be the basis on which the DoD Component certifies that the Government cost estimate is based on the most efficient and cost effective organization practicable. (vi) Implementation of the MEO shall be initiated no later than 1 month after cancellation of the soliciation and completed within 6 months. DoD Components shall take action, within 1 month, to schedule and conduct a subsequent cost comparison when the MEO is not initiated and completed as prescribed above. Subsequent cost comparisons may be delayed by the DoD Component's central point of contact office, when situations outside the control of the DoD Component prevent timely or full implementation of the MEO. This authority may not be redelegated. (vii) DoD Components shall establish procedures to ensure that the in-house operation, as specified in the MEO, is capable of performing in accordance with the requirements of the PWS. The procedures also shall ensure that the resources (facilities, equipment, and personnel) specified in the MEO are available to the in-house operation and that in-house performance remains within the requirements and resources specified in the PWS and MEO for the period of the cost comparison, unless documentation to support changes in workload/scope is available. (viii) A management study is not required for simplified cost comparisons however, a MEO analysis and certification is required. (4) Cost Comparisons. Cost comparisons shall include all significant costs of both Government and contract performance. Common costs; that is, costs that would be the same for either in-house or contract operation, need not be computed, but the basis of those common costs must be identified and included in the cost comparison documentation. Part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76 (Cost Comparison Handbook) provides the basic guidance for conducting full cost comparisons. Appendix D provides guidance for conducting simplified cost comparisons. The supplemental guidance contained below is intended to establish uniformity and to ensure all factors are considered when making cost comparisons. Deviation from the guidance contained in part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76, will not be allowed, except as provided in the following subparagraphs. (i) In-house Cost Estimate. (A) The in-house cost estimate shall be based on the most efficient and cost-effective in-house organization needed to accomplish the requirements in the PWS. (B) Heads of DoD Components or their designees shall certify that the in-house cost estimate is based on the most efficient and cost-effective operation practicable. Such certification shall be made before the bid opening or the date for receipt of initial proposals. (C) The ASD(P&L) shall provide inflation factors for adjusting costs for the first and subsequent performance periods. These factors shall be the only acceptable factors for use in cost comparisons. Inflation factors for outyear (second and subsequent) performance periods will not be applied to portions of the in-house estimate that are comparable with those portions of the contract estimate subject to economic price adjustment clauses. (D) Military positions in the organization under cost comparison shall be converted to civilian positions for costing purposes. Civilian grades and series shall be based on the work described in the PWS and the MEO, determined by the management study rather than on the current organization structure. (E) DoD Components shall not use the DLA Wholesale Stock Fund Rate and/or the DLA Direct Delivery rate for supplies and materials as reflected in paragraph 3.a. (1) and (2) of part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76. The current standard and pricing formula includes full cost under the Defense Business Operations Fund (DBOF). No further mark-up is required. (F) DoD Components shall assume for the purpose of depreciation computations that residual value is equal to the disposal values listed in Appendix C of part IV of the Supplemental to OMB Circular No. 76 (Cost Comparison Handbook) if more precise figures are not available from the official accounting records or other knowledgeable authority. Therefore, the basis for depreciation shall be the original cost plus the cost of capital improvements (if any) less the residual value. The original cost plus the cost of capital improvements less the residual value shall be divided by the useful life (as projected for the commercial activity cost comparison) to determine the annual depreciation. (G) Purchased services which augment the current in-house work effort and that are included in the PWS should be included in line 3 (other specifically attributable costs). When these purchased services are long-term and contain labor costs subject to economic price adjustment clauses, then the applicable labor portion will not be escalated by outyear inflation factors. In addition, purchased services shall be offset for potential Federal income tax revenue by applying the appropriate rate in Appendix D of part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular A–76 (Cost Comparison Handbook) to total cost of purchased services. (H) Overhead costs shall be computed only when such costs will not continue in the event of contract performance. This includes the cost of any position (full time, part time, or intermittent) that is dedicated to providing support to the activity(ies) under cost comparison regardless of the support organization's location. Military positions provided overhead support shall be costed using current military composite standard rates that include PCS costs multiplied by the appropriate support factor. (ii) Cost of Contract Performance. (A) The contract cost estimate shall be based on firm bids or negotiated proposals solicited in accordance with the FAR and the DoD FAR Supplement (DFARS) for full cost comparisons. Existing contract prices (such as those from GSA Supply Schedules) will not be used in a cost comparison. For simplified cost comparisons, the guidance in Appendix C of this part applies. (B) Standby costs are costs incurred for the upkeep of property in standby status. Such costs neither add to the value of the property nor prolong its life, but keep it in efficient operating condition or available for use. When an in-house activity is terminated in favor of contract performance and an agency elects to hold Government equipment and facilities on standby solely to maintain performance capability, this is a management decision, and such standby costs will not be charged to the cost of contracting. (C) A specific waiver is required to use contract administration factors that exceed the limits established in Table 3–1 of part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 (Cost Comparison Handbook). The reason for the deviation from the limits, the supporting alternative computation, and documentation supporting the alternative method, shall be provided to the DoD Component's central point of contact office for advance approval on a case-by-case basis. The authority may not be redelegated. ASD(A&L) shall be notified within 30 days of any such decisions. (D) The following guidance pertains to one-time conversion costs: (1) Material Related Costs. The cost factors below shall be used, if more precise costs are not known, to estimate the cost associated with disposal/transfer of excess government material which result from a conversion to contract performance: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Percentage of current replacement cost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Packing, crating , and handling (PCH).......... 3.5 Transportation................................. 3.75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (2) Labor-Related Costs. If unique circumstances prevail when a strict application of the 2 percent factor for computation of severance pay results in a substantial overstatement or understatement of this cost, an alternative methodology may be employed. The reason for the deviation from this standard, the alternative computation, and documentation supporting the alternative method shall be provided to the appropriate DoD Component's central point of contact office for advance approval on a case-by-case basis. This authority may not be redelegated. (3) Other Transition Costs. Normally, government personnel assistance after the contract start date (to assist in transition from in-house performance to contract performance) should not be necessary. When transition assistance will not be made available, this condition should be stated clearly in the solicitation so that contractors will be informed that they will be expected to meet full performance requirements from the first date of the contract. Also, when circumstances require full performance on the contract start date, the solicitation shall state that time will be made available for contractor indoctrination prior to the start date of the contract. The inclusion of personnel transition costs in a cost comparison requires advance approval of the DoD Component's central point of contact office. This authority may not be redelegated. (E) Gain or Loss on Disposal/Transfer of Assets. If more precise costs are not available from the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office or appropriate authority, then: (1) The same factors for PCH and transportation costs as prescribed in §169a.12E(ii)(D)(1) for the costs associated with disposal/transfer of materials may be used. (2) The estimated disposal value may be calculated from the net book value as derived from the table in Appendix C of part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 (Cost Comparison Handbook), minus the disposal/transfer costs. This figure shall be entered as a gain or loss on line 11 or line 13 of the cost comparison form as appropriate. Note: If a cost-benefit analysis, as prescribed in §169a.12(B)(iii), indicates that the retention of Government-owned facilities, equipment, or real property for use elsewhere in the Government is cost advantageous to the Government, then the cost comparison form shall reflect a gain to the Government and therefore a decrease to the cost of contracting on line 11 or line 13 of the cost comparison form as appropriate. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29209, July 1, 1992] § 169a.16 Independent review. top (a) The estimates of in-house and contracting costs that can be computed before the cost comparison shall be reviewed by a qualified activity, independent of the Task Group preparing the cost comparison. This review shall be completed far enough in advance of the bid or initial proposal opening date to allow the DoD Component to correct any discrepancies found before sealing the in-house cost estimate. (b) The independent review shall substantiate the currency, reasonableness, accuracy, and completeness of the inhouse estimate. The review shall ensure that the in-house cost estimate is based on the same required services, performance standards, and workload contained in the solicitation. The reviewer shall scrutinize and attest to the adequacy and authenticity of the supporting documentation. Supporting documentation shall be sufficient to require no additional interpretation. (c) The purpose of the independent review is to ensure costs have been estimated and supported in accordance with provisions of this Instruction. If no (or only minor) discrepancies are noted during this review, the reviewer indicates the minor discrepancies, signs, dates, and returns the CCF to the preparer. If significant discrepancies are noted during the review, the discrepancies shall be reported to the preparer for recommended correction and resubmission. (d) The independent review is not required for simplified cost comparisons. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29210, July 1, 1992] § 169a.17 Solicitation considerations. top (a) Every effort must be made to avoid postponement or cancellation of CA solicitations even if there are significant changes, omissions, or defects in the Government's in-house cost estimate. Such corrections shall be made before the expiration of bids or proposals and may require the extensions of bids or proposals. When there is no alternative, contracting officers must clearly document the reason(s). (b) Bidders or offerers shall be informed that an in-house cost estimate is being developed and that a contract may or may not result. (c) Bids or proposals shall be on at least a 3-year multi-year basis (when appropriate) or shall include prepriced renewal options to cover 2 fiscal years after the initial period. (d) All contracts awarded as a result of a conversion (whether or not a cost comparison was performed) shall comply with all requirements of the FAR and DFARS. (e) Solicitations shall be restricted for preferential procurement when the requirements applicable to such programs (such as, small business set-asides or other required sources of supplies and services) are met, in accordance with the FAR. (f) Solicitations will not be restricted for preferential procurement unless the contracting officer determines that there is a reasonable expectation that the commercial prices will be fair and reasonable, in accordance with the FAR. (g) Contract defaults may result in temporary performance by Government personnel or other suitable means; such as, an interim contract source. Personnel detailed to such a temporary assignment should be clearly informed that they will return to their permanent assignment when a new contract is awarded. If the default occurs within the first year of contract performance, the following procedures apply: (1) If the Government was the next lowest bidder/offerer, and in-house performance is still feasible, the function may be returned to in-house performance. If in-house performance is no longer feasible, the contracting officer shall obtain the requirement by contract in accordance with the requirements of the FAR, 48 CFR part 49. A return to in-house performance under the above criteria shall be approved by the DoD Component's central point of contact office. This authority may not be redelegated. (2) If the contract wage rates are no longer valid or if the contracting officer, after a review of the availability of the next lowest responsible and responsive bidders/offerers, determines that resolicitation is appropriate, the Government may submit a bid for comparison with other bids/offers from the private sector. Submission of a Government bid requires a determination by the DoD Component that performance by DoD employees is still feasible and that a likelihood exists that such performance may be more economical than performance by contract. In such cost comparisons, the conversion differentials will not be applied to the costs of either in-house or contract performance. (h) If contract default occurs during the second or subsequent year of contract performance, the procedures of §169a.8(b)(2)(i) of this part apply. (1) Grouping of Commercial Activities. (i) The installation commander shall determine carefully which CAs should be grouped in a single solicitation. The installation commander should keep in mind that the grouping of commercial activities can influence the amount of competition (number of commercial firms that will bid or submit proposals) and the eventual cost to the Government. (ii) [Reserved] (2) The installation commander shall consider the adverse impacts that the grouping of commercial activities into a single solicitation may have on small and small disadvantaged business concerns. Commercial activities being performed wholly by small or small disadvantaged businesses will not be incorporated into a cost comparison unless consolidation is necessary to meet mission requirements. Actions must be taken to ensure that such contractors are not displaced merely to accomplish consolidation. Similarly, care must be taken so that nonincumbent small and small disadvantaged business contractors are not handicapped or prejudiced unduly from competing effectively at the prime contractor level. (3) In developing solicitations for commercial activities, the procurement plan should reflect an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages to the Government that might result from making more than one award. The decision to group commercial activities should reflect an analysis of all relevant factors including the following: (A) The effect on competition. (B) The duplicative management functions and costs to be eliminated through grouping. (C) The economies of administering multifunction vs. single function contracts, including cost risks associated with the pricing structure of each. (D) The feasibility of separating unrelated functional tasks or groupings. (E) The effect grouping will have on the performance of the functions. (4) When the solicitation package includes totally independent functions which are clearly divisible, severable, limited in number, and not price interrelated, they shall be solicited on the basis of an “any or all” bid or offer. Commerical bidders or offerors shall be permitted to submit bids or offers on one or any combination of the functions being solicited. These bids or offers shall be evaluated to determine the lowest aggregate contract cost to the Government. This lowest aggregate contract cost then will be compared to the in-house cost estimate based on the MEO for performance of the functions in the single solicitation. The procedures in part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 (Cost Comparison Handbook) apply. (5) There are instances when this approach to contracting for CAs may not apply; such as, situations when physical limitations of site (where the activities are to be performed) preclude allowing more than one contractor to perform, when the function cannot be divided for purposes of performance accountability, or for other national security considerations. However, if an “all or none” solicitation is issued, the decision to do so must include a cost analysis to reflect that the “all or none” solicitation is less costly to the Government or an analysis indicating it is otherwise in the best interest of the Government, all factors considered. (6) It is recognized that in some cases, decisions will result in the elimination of prime contracting opportunities for small business. In such cases special measures shall be taken. At a minimum, small and small disadvantaged business concerns shall be given preferential consideration by all competing prime contractors in the award of subcontracts. For negotiated procurements the degree to which this is accomplished will be a weighted factor in the evaluation and source selection process leading to contract award. (7) The contract files shall be documented fully to demonstrate compliance with these procedures. (i) If no bids or proposals, or no responsive or responsible bids or proposals are received in response to a solicitation, the in-house cost estimate shall remain unopened. The contracting officer shall examine the solicitation to ascertain why no responses were received. Depending on the results of this review, the contracting officer shall consider restructuring the requirement, if feasible and reissue it under restricted or unrestricted solicitation procedures, as appropriate. (j) Continuation of an in-house CA for lack of a satisfactory commercial source will not be based upon lack of response to a restricted solicitation. (k) The guidance of subparagraph E.3.f. applies to sumplified cost comparisons and direct conversions of military personnel CAs. (l) To ensure that bonds and/or insurance requirements are being used in the best interest of the Government, as a general rule, requirements (for other than construction related services) above the levels established in the FAR and DFARS should not be included in acquisitions. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 56 FR 27901, June 18, 1991; 57 FR 29210, July 1, 1992] § 169a.18 Administrative appeal procedures. top (a) Appeals of Cost Comparison Decisions. (1) Each DoD Component shall establish an administrative appeals procedure to resolve questions from directly affected parties relating to determinations resulting from cost comparisons performed in compliance with this part. The appeal procedure will not apply to questions concerning the following: (i) Award to one contractor in preference to another; (ii) DoD management decisions. (2) The appeals procedure is to provide an administrative safeguard to ensure that DoD Component decisions are fair, equitable, and in accordance with procedures in this part. The procedure does not authorize an appeal outside the DoD Component or a judicial review. (3) The appeals procedure shall be independent and objective and provide for a decision on the appeal within 30 calendar days of receipt of the appeal. The decision shall be made by an impartial official at a level organizationally higher than the official who approved the cost comparison decision. The appeal decision shall be final, unless the DoD Component procedures provide for further discretionary review within the DoD Component. (4) All detailed documentation supporting the initial cost comparison decision shall be made available to directly affected parties upon request when the initial decision is announced. The detailed documentation shall include, at a minimum, the following: the in-house cost estimate with detailed supporting documentation (see §169a.5(c)(ii) of this part), the completed CCF, name of the tentative winning contractor (if the decision is to contract), or the price of the bidder whose bid or proposal would have been most advantageous to the Government (if the decision is to perform in-house). If the documentation is not available when the initial decision is announced, the time alloted for submission of appeals shall be extended the number of days equal to the delay. (5) To be considered eligible for review under the DoD Component appeals procedures, appeals shall: (i) Be received by the DoD Component in writing within 15 working days after the date the supporting documentation is made available to directly affected parties. (ii) Address specific line items on the CCF and the rationale for questioning those items. (iii) Demonstrate that the result of the appeal may change the decision. (b) Appeals of Simplified Cost Comparisons and Direct Conversions. (1) Directly affected parties may appeal decision to convert to contract based on a simplified cost comparison involving 11–45 DoD civilian employees or a direct conversion involving 10 or fewer DoD civilian employees. The appeal must address reasons why fair and reasonable prices will not be obtainable. (2) Each DoD Component shall establish an administrative appeal procedure that is independent and objective; Installation Commanders must make available, upon request, the documentation supporting the decision to directly convert activities; appeals of direct conversions must be filed within 30 calendar days after the decision is announced in the Commerce Business Daily and/or Federal Register, and the supporting documentation is made available; an impartial official one level organizationally higher than the official who approved the direct conversion decision shall hear the appeal; officials shall provide an appeal decision within 30 calendar days of receipt of the appeal. (c) Since the appeal procedure is intended to protect the rights of all directly affected parties, the DoD Component's procedures, as well as the decision upon appeal, will not be subject to negotiation, arbitration, or agreement. (d) DoD Components shall include administrative appeal procedures as part of their implementing documents. [50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29210, July 1, 1992] § 169a.19 Study limits. top No DoD funds shall be available to perform any cost study pursuant to the provisions of OMB Circular A–76 if the study being performed exceeds a period of 24 months after initiation of such study with respect to a single function activity or 48 months after initiation of such study for a multi-function activity. [60 FR 67328, Dec. 29, 1995] Subpart C—Reporting Requirements top § 169a.21 Reporting requirements. top (a) Inventory and Review Schedule (Report Control Symbol DD-A&T(A) 1540). See §169a.8(a) of this part. (b) Commercial Activities Management Information System (CAMIS) (Report Control Symbol DD-A&T(Q) 1542). (1) The purpose of CAMIS is to maintain an accurate DoD data base of commercial activities that undergo an OMB Circular A–76 cost comparison and CAs that are converted directly to contract without a cost comparison. The CAMIS is used to provide information to the Congress, Office of Management Budget (OMB), General Accounting Office (GAO), OSD, and others. The CAMIS is divided into two parts. Part I contains data on CAs that undergo cost comparison. Part II contains data on commercial activities converted to contract without a full cost comparison. (2) The CAMIS report shall be submitted in accordance with the procedures in Appendix C. (c) Congressional Data Reports on CA (Report Control Symbol DD-A&T(A&AR) 1949) and Reports on savings on Costs from Increased Use of DoD Civilian Personnel (Report Control Symbol DD-A&T(AR) 1950). To insure consistent application of the requirements stated in 10 U.S.C. 2461 and 2463, the following guidance is provided: (1) The geographic scope of section 10 U.S.C. 2461 applies to the United States, its territories and possessions, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. (2) Section 10 U.S.C. 2461 applies to proposed conversions of DoD CAs that on October 1, 1980, were being performed by more than forty-five DoD civilian employees. 10 U.S.C. 2463 applies to conversions from contract to in-house involving 50 or more contractor employees. (3) DoD Components must not proceed with a CA study until notification to Congress, as required by 10 U.S.C. 2461. DoD Components shall notify the ASD(ES) of any such intent at least 5 working days before congressional notification. (4) DoD Components shall annotate announcements to Congress when a cost comparison is planned at an activity listed in the report to Congress on Core Logistics (see §169a.8(b)(1)(i)(2) of this part). (5) The DoD Components shall notify Congress, at least 5 working days before sending the detailed summary report required by 10 U.S.C. 2461 to Congress. The detailed summary of the cost shall include: the amount of the offer accepted for the performance of the activity by the private contractor; the costs and expenditures that the Government will incur because of the contract; the estimated cost of performance of the activity by the most efficient Government organization; a statement indicating the life of the contract; and certifications that the entire cost comparison is available, and that the Government calculation for the cost of performance of such function by DoD employees is based on an estimate of the most efficient and cost-effective organization for performance of such function by DoD employees. (6) The potential economic effect on the employees affected, the local community, and the Federal Government of contracting for performance of the function shall be included in the report to accompany the above certifications, if more than 75 total employees (including military and civilian, both permanent and temporary) are potentially affected. It is suggested that the Army Corps of Engineers' model (or equivalent) be used to generate this information. The potential impact on affected employees shall be included in the report, regardless of the number of employees involved. Also include in the report a statement that the decision was made to convert to contractor performance, the projected date of contract award, the projected contract start date, and the effect of contracting the function on the military mission of that function. (7) By December 15th of each year, each DoD Component shall submit to the ASD(P&L) the data required by 10 U.S.C. 2461(c). In describing the extent to which CA functions were performed by DoD contractors during the preceding fiscal year, include the estimated number of work years for the in-house operation as well as for contract operation (including percentages) by major OSD functional areas in Appendix A to this part; such as, Social Services, Health Services, Installation Services, etc. For the estimate of the percentage of CA functions that will be performed in-house and those that will be performed by contract during the fiscal year during which the report is submitted, include the estimated work years for in-house CAs as well as for contracted CAs and the rationale for significant changes when compared to the previous year's data. Also, include the number of studies you expect to complete in the next fiscal year showing total civilian and military FTEs.

[50 FR 40805, Oct. 7, 1985, as amended at 57 FR 29210, July 1, 1992; 60 FR 67329, Dec. 29, 1995] Appendix C to Part 169a—Simplified Cost Comparison and Direct Conversion of CAs top A. This appendix provides guidance on procedures to be followed in order to convert a commercial activity employing 45 or fewer DoD civilian employees to contract performance without a full cost comparison. DoD Components may directly convert functions with 10 or fewer civilian employees without conducting a simplified cost comparison. Simplified cost comparisons may only be conducted on activities with 45 or fewer DoD civilian employees. B. Direct conversions with 10 or fewer DoD civilian employees must meet the following criteria: 1. The activity is currently performed by 10 or fewer civilian employees. 2. The direct conversion makes sense from a management or performance standpoint. 3. The direct conversion is cost effective. 4. The installation commander should attempt to place or retrain displaced DoD civilian employees by a. Placing or retraining employees in available permanent vacant positions, or b. Assigning displaced employees to valid temporary or over-hire positions in similar activities for gainful employment until permanent vacancies are available. The type of employee appointment (e.g., career, career-conditional, etc., or change from competitive to excepted service or vice versa) must not change, or c. Where no vacancies exist or are projected, offer employees retraining opportunities under the Job Training Partnership Act or similar retraining programs for transitioning into the private sector. 5. The function to be directly converted does not include any DoD civilian positions that were as a result of DoD Component streamlining plans and/or were removed with buyout offers that satisfied Section 5 of the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act requirements. C. The following provides general guidance for completion of a simplified cost comparison: 1. Estimated contractor costs should be based on either the past history of similar contracts at other installations or on the contracting officer's best estimate of what would constitute a fair and reasonable price. 2. For activities small in total size (45 or fewer civilian and military personnel): a. Estimated in-house cost generally should not include overhead costs, as it is unlikely that they would be a factor for a small activity. b. Similarly, estimated contractor costs generally should not include contract administration, on-time conversion costs, or other contract price add-ons associated with full cost comparisons. 3. For activities large in total size (including those with a mix of civilian and military personnel) all cost elements should be considered for both in-house and contractor estimated costs. 4. In either case, large or small, the 10 percent conversion differential contained in part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 should be applied. 5. Part IV of the Supplement to OMB Circular No. A–76 shall be utilized to define the specific elements of cost to be estimated. 6. Clearance for CA simplified cost comparison decisions are required for Agencies without their own Legislative Affairs (LA) and Public Affairs (PA) offices. Those Agencies shall submit their draft decision brief to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installations) room 3E813, the Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301 for release to Congress. 7. Provide CA simplified cost comparison approvals containing a certification of the MEO analysis, a copy of the approval to convert, a copy of the cost comparison, with back-up data, before conversion to the following: a. Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate (11–45 civilian employees only). b. Copies of the following: (1) Assistant Secretary of Defense (LA), room 3D918, the Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301. (2) Assistant Secretary of Defense (PA), room 2E757, the Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301. (3) Office of Economic Adjustment, room 4C767, the Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301. (4) Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, (Installations), room 3E813, the Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301. (exception—no copies required from Agencies that do not have legislative and public affairs offices). 8. Most Efficient and Cost-Effective Analysis for Contractor Performance of an Activity (Report Control Symbol DD-A&T(AR) 1951. The installation commander must certify that the estimated in-house cost for activities involving 11 to 45 DoD civilian employees are based on a completed most efficient and cost effective organization analysis. Certification of this MEO analysis, as required by Public Law 103–139, shall be provided to the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate before conversion to contract performance.

The CAMIS data base shall have a comprehensive edit check on all input data in the computerized system. All data errors in the CAMIS data base shall be corrected as they are found by the established edit check program. The data elements described in this appendix represents the DoD minimum requirements. On approval of a full cost comparison, a simplified cost comparison, or a direct conversion CA, the DoD Component shall create the initial entry using the data elements in part I for full cost comparisons and data elements in part II for all other conversions. Within 30 days of the end of each quarter the DoD Component shall submit a floppy diskette. Data files must be in American Standard Code Information Interchange text file format on a MicroSoft-Disk Operating System formatted 3.5 inch floppy diskette. Provide submissions in the Defense Utility Energy Reporting System format. The data shall be submitted in the Director, Installations Management (D,IM), 400 Army Navy Drive, Room 206, Arlington, VA 22202–2884 at least 60 days prior to the end of the quarter. The D,IM shall use the automated data to update the CAMIS. If the DoD Component is unable to provide data in an automated format, the D,IM shall provide quarterly printouts of cost comparison records (CCR) and conversion and/or comparison records (DCSCCR) that may be annotated and returned within 30 days of the end of each quarter to the D,IM. The D,IM then shall use the annotated printouts to update the CAMIS. Part I—Cost Comparison The record for each cost comparison is divided into six sections. Each of these sections contains information provided by the DoD Components. The first five sections are arranged in a sequence of milestone events occurring during a cost comparison. Each section is completed immediately following the completion of the milestone event. These events are as follows: 1. Cost comparison is approved by DoD Component. 2. Solicitation is issued. 3. In-house and contractor costs are compared. 4. Contract is awarded/solicitation is canceled. 5. Contract starts. The events are used as milestones because upon their completion some elements of significant information concerning the cost comparison become known. A sixth section is utilized for CCRs that result in award of a contract. This section contains data elements on contract cost and information on subsequent contract actions during the second and third year of contract operation. The data elements that comprise these six sections are defined in this enclosure. Part II—Direct Conversions and Simplified Cost Comparisons The record for each direct conversion and simplified cost comparison is divided into six sections. Each of the first five sections is completed immediately following the completion of the following events: 1. DoD Component approves CA action. 2. The solicitation is issued. 3. In-house and contractor costs are compared. 4. Contract is awarded or solicitation is canceled. 5. Contract starts. A sixth section is utilized for tracking historical data after the direct conversion or simplified cost comparison is completed. This section contains data elements on contracts and cost information during the second and third performance period. The data elements that comprise the six sections in part II, of this Appendix, are defined in the CAMIS Entry and Update Instruction, Part II—Direct Conversions and Simplified Cost Comparisons. Camis Entry and Update Instructions Part I—Cost Comparisons The bracketed number preceding each definition in sections one through five is the DoD data element number. All date fields should be in the format MMDDYY (such as, June 30, 1983 = 063083). Section One Event: DoD Component Approves Conducting a Cost Comparison All entries in this section of CCR shall be submitted by DoD Components on the first quarter update after approving the start of a cost comparison. These entries shall be used to establish the CCR and to identify the geographical, organizational, political, and functional attributes of the activity (or activities) undergoing cost comparison as well as to provide an initial estimate of the manpower associated with the activity (or activities). The initial estimate of the manpower in this section of the CCR will be in all cases those manpower figures identified in the correspondence approving the start of the cost comparison. DoD Components shall enter the following data elements to establish a CCR: [1] Cost Comparison Number. The number assigned by the DoD Component to uniquely identify a specific cost comparison. The first character of the cost comparison number must be a letter designating DoD Component as noted in data element [3], below. The cost comparison number may vary in length from five to ten characters, of which the second and subsequent may be alpha or numeric and assigned under any system desired by the DoD Component.

If representatives are elected “at large,” enter “01” in this data element; for a delegate or resident commissioner (such as, District of Columbia or Puerto Rico) enter “98.” If the installation is located in two or more CDs, all CDs should be entered and separated by commas. [8] [Reserved] [9] Title of Cost Comparison. The title that describes the commercial activity(s) under cost comparision (for instance, “Facilities Engineering Package,” “Installation Bus Service,” or “Motor Pool”). Use a clear title, not acronyms of function codes in this data element. [10] DOD Functional Area Code(s). The four of five alpha/numeric character designators listed in Appendix A of this part that describe the type of CA undergoing cost comparison. There would be one code for a single CA or possible several codes for a large cost comparison package. A series of codes shall be separated by commas. [11] Prior Operation Code. A single alpha character that identifies the mode of operation for the activity at the time the cost comparison is started. Despite the outcome of the cost comparison, this code does not change. The coding as as follows: I—In-house C—Contract N—New requirement E—Expansion [12] Cost Comparison Status Code. A single alpha character that identifies the current status of the cost comparison. Enter one of the following codes: P—In progress C—Complete X—Canceled. The CCR shall be excluded from future updates. Z—Consolidated. The cost comparison has been consolidated with one or more other cost comparisons into a single cost comparison package. The CCR for the cost comparison that has been consolidated shall be excluded from future updates. (See data element [15].) B—Broken out. The cost comparison package has been broken into two or more separate cost comparisons. The previous CCR shall be excluded from future updates. (See data element [15].) [13] Announcement—personnel estimate civilian, and [14] announcement—personnel estimate military. The number of civilian and military personnel allocated to the CAs undergoing cost comparison when the cost comparison is approved by the DoD Component or announced to Congress. This number in all cases shall be those personnel figures identified in the correspondence announcing the start of a cost comparison and will include authorized positions, temporaries, and borrowed labor. The number is used to give a preliminary estimate of the size of the activity. [15] Revised and/or original cost comparison number. When a consolidation occurs, create a new CCR containing the attributes of the consolidated cost comparison. In the CCR of each cost comparison being consolidated, enter the cost comparison number of the new CCR in this data element and code “Z” in data element [12] of this attachment. In the new CCR, this data element should be blank and data element [12] of this attachment should denote the current status of the cost comparison. Once the consolidation has occurred, only the new CCR requires future updates. When a single cost comparison is being broken into multiple cost comparisons, create a new CCR for each cost comparison broken out from the original cost comparison. Each new CCR shall contain its own unique set of attributes; in data element [15] of this attachment enter the cost comparison number of the original cost comparison from which each was derived, and in data element [12] of this attachment enter the current status of each cost comparison. For the original cost comparison, data element [15] of this attachment, should be blank and data element [12] of this attachment should have a code “B” entry. Only the derivative record entries require future updates. When a consolidation or a breakout occurs, an explanatory remark shall be entered in data element [57] of this attachment (such as, “part of SW region cost comparison,” or, “separated into three cost comparisons”). Section Two Event: The Solicitation is Issued The entries in this section of the CCR provide information on the personnel authorized to perform the workload in the PWS, the number of workyears used to accomplish the workload in the PWS, and the type and kind of solicitation. The DoD Component shall enter the following data elements at the first quarterly update subsequent to the issuance of the solicitation: [17] [Reserved] [18] Solicitation-Type Code. A one-character alpha designator that identifies the type of solicitation used to obtain contract bids or offers. Use either the CBD as the source document or information received from the contracting officer for this entry. Solicitations under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act are negotiated. Enter one of the following codes: S—Sealed Bid N—Negotiated [19] Solicitation Kind Code. A one-character (or two-character, if “W” suffix is used) alpha designator indicating whether the competition for the contract has been limited to a specific class of bidders or offerors. Use either the CBD as the source document or information received from the contracting officer to enter one of the following codes: A—Restrict to small business B—Small Business Administration 8(a) Set Aside C—Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (JWOD) D—Other mandatory sources U—Unrestricted W—(optional suffix) Unrestricted after initial restriction [20] Current Authorized Civilians and [21] Current Authorized Military. The number of civilian and military authorizations allocated on the DoD Component's manpower documents to perform the work described in the PWS. This number refines the initial authorization estimate (section one, data elements [13] and [14]). [22] Baseline Annual Workyears Civilian and [23] Baseline Annual Workyears Military. The number of annual workyears it has taken to perform the work described by the PWS before the DoD Component conducts the MEO study of the in-house organizations; do not include contract monitor requirements. Military workyears include assigned, borrowed, diverted, and detailed personnel. An annual workyear is the use of 2,087 hours (including authorized leave and paid time off for training). For example, when full-time employees whose work is completely within the PWS are concerned, “one workyear” normally is comparable to “one employee” or two part-time employees, each working 1,043 hours in a fiscal year. Also include in this total the workyears for full-time employees who do not work on a full-time basis on the work described by the PWS. For example, some portion of the workload is performed by persons from another work center who are used on an “as needed” basis. Their total hours performing this workload is 4,172 hours. This would be reflected as two workyears. Less than one-half year of effort should be rounded down, and one-half year or more should be rounded up. These workyear figures shall be the baseline for determining the manpower savings identified by the management study. Section Three Event: The In-House and the Contractor Costs of Operation are Compared The entries in this section provide information on the date of the cost comparison (initial decision), the preliminary results, the number of bids or offers received, and the costing method used in the cost comparison. The DoD Component shall enter the following data elements in the first quarterly update subsequent to the date of the comparison of in-house and contractor costs (date of initial decision): [24] Scheduled Initial Decision Date. Date the initial decision is scheduled at the start of a cost comparison. [24A] Actual Initial Decision Date. Date the initial decision is announced. The initial decision is based on the apparent low bid or offer and is subject to preaward surveys and resolution of all appeals and protests. In a sealed bid procurement, the initial decision is announced at bid opening. In a negotiated procurement, the initial decision is announced when the cost comparison is made between the in-house estimate and the proposal of the selected offeror. [25] Cost Comparison Preliminary Results Code. A one-character alpha designator indicating the results of the cost comparison as announced by the contracting officer at the time the bids or offers are compared. The entries are limited to two possibilities: I—In-house C—Contract [26]–[27] [Reserved] Section Four Event: The Contracting Officer Either Awards the Contract or Commercial Activity Cancels the Solicitation The entries in this section identify the final result, information on the contract, the in-house bid, and costing information from the cost comparison record.
