What are the results of the RSPA Inventory?
PHMSA established a working group, with members from each program office, to develop its 2003 inventory. In summary, PHMSA identified 983.8 FTE of which 520.2 FTE were coded Inherently Governmental, and 463.6 FTE were coded Commercial. Of the Commercial functions, 88.1 FTE were submitted with reason code B – which means they are suitable for competition. The RSPA 2003 FAIR Act inventory, as part of the DOT inventory, can be found at: http://www.dot.gov/ost/m60/fairact/index.html#inventory1. • I am confused on how the competitive sourcing process works at PHMSA and the relationships between the Requirements Statement Team, Agency Tender Official, Most Efficient Organization, Contracting Officer, and Source Selection Authority. Is there a flow chart or diagram that describes processes that will be followed? Yes. Flow diagrams have been developed that describe the PHMSA HQ streamlined competition process, and the Volpe streamlined competition process.
