What happens to the DOI employees at the end of an A-76 study if the function is awarded to a private sector contractor?
In addition to the benefits available to employees who are affected if the contract is awarded to the MEO, employees whose functions undergo full A-76 studies and subsequently are converted to a private sector contractor are eligible for Right of First Refusal (ROFR). Federal acquisition regulations provide for the Right of First Refusal (ROFR), which requires that for full A-76 studies, the successful contractor offer affected Federal employees first consideration for open positions available under the contract for which they qualify. A standard clause indicating this is included in cost comparison solicitations. For streamlined competitions awarded to the private sector, contracting officers can negotiate that ROFR be included in the contract. As previously stated, to date only one fulltime permanent employee has been involuntarily separated from the Department as a result of competitive sourcing. We also have authority to offer early outs and buyouts to affected employees.
