defense reasons in accordance with
paragraph E.2.a(1) of DoD Instruction
4100.33, other than CAs reported
under code ``C'' of this attachment.
C Indicates that the DoD CA is retained
in-house because the CA is essential
for training or experience in
required military skills, or the CA
is needed to provide appropriate work
assignments for a rotation base for

service needed.
F Indicates that a cost comparison has
been conducted and that the
Government is providing the product
or service at a lower total cost as a
result of a cost comparison.
G Indicates that the CA is being
performed by DoD personnel now, but
decision to continue in-house or
convert to contract is pending
results of a scheduled cost
comparison.
H Indicates that the CA is being
performed by DoD employees now, but
will be converted to contract because
of cost comparison results.
J Indicates that the CA is being
performed by DoD hospital and, in the
best interest of direct patient care,
is being retained in-house.
K Indicates that the CA is being
performed by DoD employees now, but a

[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.

Appendix D to Part 169a—Commercial Activities Management Information System (CAMIS)
top
Each DoD Component shall create and manage their CAMIS data base. 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.
