R -- Printing Services

This notification represents announcement of the performance decision on the streamlined competition for the commercial activity functions characterized as Printing Services performed at the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in Atlanta, Georgia and in two other CDC locations in Hyattsville, Maryland and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Under this streamlined method of competition, the Agency’s cost of performing these services were compared against the cost of these services in the private sector determined through extensive market research. After a thorough analysis, the study results indicate that the market costs for the conduct of these services are most likely lower than current CDC costs. As a result, CDC intends to solicit competitive contract proposals to confirm and validate these market survey results under the A-76 policy requirements. The estimated release date of the final competitive solicitation is August 2004. Additional information regarding the solicitation will be posted to Fedbizopps when it becomes available.
