What happens if the study determines the function is to be awarded to a private sector contractor?
First, RSPA will actively pursue “soft landing” alternatives for employees. (See Question 19.) It is also RSPA’s goal to either avoid or minimize the need for a reduction-in-force. (See Question 21.) Employees whose functions undergo competition and subsequently are converted to a private sector contractor are also eligible for Right of First Refusal (ROFR). (See Question 13.) Federal Acquisition Regulations provide for the ROFR that requires the successful contractor to offer affected employees first consideration for open positions available under the contract for which they qualify. A standard clause indicating this is included in the Requirement Statement and the resulting contract.
