Excerpt
Excerpt: I keep hearing about OMB Circular No. A-76. What is it? OMB Circular No. A-76 sets the policies and procedures that executive branch agencies must use in identifying commercial-type activities and determining whether these activities are best provided by the private sector, by government employees, or by another agency through a fee-for-service agreement. The term typically used to describe this process is ?competitive sourcing.? On May 29, 2003, the Office of Management and Budget unveiled long-awaited revisions to OMB Circular A-76, which went into effect immediately. The new revisions made a fundamental policy change to make the circular more friendly to the federal worker by doing away with the longstanding presumption that all commercial-type activities in government belong in the private sector. The new emphasis is simply on getting the best value for the citizen, irrespective of who performs the work.
