What happens if the government wins the competition, but then doesn perform very well at doing the work?
OMB Circular A-76 requires that the MEO or other public service provider be treated the same for performance purposes as any commercial provider. The NASA Contracting Officer (CO) would issue a Letter of Obligation to the MEO with performance expectations clearly stated. If the government organization does not meet the required standards, a request to cure the deficiency would be issued by the CO.
