B -- Streamlined A-76 Study Results

The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has conducted a streamlined competition at the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), located in Princeton, NJ. GFDL completed a Circular A-76 streamlined competition of approximately 8.4 FTEs among four functions, consisting of: Computer Operations, Scientific Illustration, Library Support, and Travel Management. The cost comparison made in the competition resulted in performance decisions in favor of the in-house team under the MEO. This decision was made on March 8, 2004, which is the official end date of the competition. Any questions regarding this competition should be submitted via e-mail to Don Thompson at [email protected]
