In accordance with OMB Circular A-76 (Revised May 29, 2003), the U.S. Department of Education (ED) announces a performance decision for the Standard Competition ED-03-R-0016 conducted for Human Resources and Training Services. The Most Efficient Organization (MEO) submitted by the Agency has been selected as the Service Provider to perform the work because it was deemed to offer the solution most advantageous to the Government.

The major functional areas included in the work are ED's classification, hiring and staffing, employee relations, and training and development activities. The official end date of the Standard Competition is September 30, 2004. Solicitation ED-03-R-0016 is, therefore, cancelled.
