Calyptus Consulting Group, Inc. performs research in the areas of
A-76 and the FAIR Act and has evaluated current legislation such as the TRAC
Bill and the 2002 Defense Authorization Act. We possess specific capabilities in
the evaluation of commercial activities performed by Federal Agencies; the
development of A-76 cost analyses, the management of the FAIR ACT assessment
process, and the planning of A-76 competitions.
We have also evaluated the use on effective A-76
processes by the DOD in a study performed in conjunction with the TRAC Act
evaluation. DOD has performed 99% of the A-76 public/private competitions and
has the most resident knowledge and experience on the subject. The civilian
agencies and the Department of Defense agencies must use the best practices
experienced by the DOD in complying with the FAIR Act and implementing the
requirements of the OMB Bulletins. As a result of our review, we believe that
the following 10-step process is a best practice that should be considered by
the DOC for use in implementing A-76.
Our team has worked together to assess and
evaluate the inside procurement processes and the decisions made by over twenty
rapid-transit organizations within the United States to outsource fixed-route
transit services, information technology, professional staffing, paratransit
activities, and maintenance.
