Reason Codes

Reason Codes
per Revised Circular A-76
Discussion
A - “Indicates that the function is performed by Federal employees and is specifically exempt by the agency (Agency Head) from the cost comparison requirements of the Circular and this Supplemental Handbook.” A - “The Commercial Activity is not appropriate for private sector performance pursuant to a written determination.” For 2003, the Agency Head may delegate this determination.
B - “Indicates that the activity is performed by Federal employees and is subject to the cost comparison or direct conversion requirements of the Circular and this Supplement.”

 

B - “The Commercial Activity is suitable for a Cost Comparison or a Direct Conversion.” The 2003 Code B consolidates functions that were listed in the 2002 B and C codes.
C - “Indicates that the activity is performed by Federal employees, but it has been specifically made exempt from the provisions of the Circular and this Supplement by Congress, Executive Order or OMB.

 

  The 2002 Code C indicated that a function could be available for direct conversion, but that the direct conversion is not “in-progress” For 2003, these functions are expected to be listed in Code B.
D - “Indicates that the function is currently performed by in-house Federal employees and is in the process of being compared or converted directly to contract or inter-service support agreement performance.”

 

C - “The Commercial Activity is the subject of an in-progress Cost Comparison or Direct Conversion.” The 2003 Code C replaces the 2002 Code D.
E - “Indicates that the function is retained in-house as a result of a cost comparison.”

 

D - “The Commercial Activity is performed by a Most Efficient Organization (MEO) resulting from a Cost Comparison decision made within the past five years.” The 2003 Code D replaces the 2002 Code E.
F - “Indicates the function is currently being performed by Federal employees, but a review is pending force restructuring decisions (i.e., base closure, realignment, consolidation, etc.)”

 

E - “The Commercial Activity is pending an agency approved restructuring decision (e.g., closure, realignment).” The 2003 Code E replaces the 2002 Code F.
G - “Indicates that the function is prohibited from conversion to contract because of legislation.”

 

F - “Performance of the commercial activity by government personnel is required due to a statutory prohibition against private sector performance.” The 2003 Code F replaces the 2002 Code G
H - “Waiver Issued.”

 

  This code is eliminated. Functions listed under the 2002 Code H are expected to be listed under Code B in the 2003 inventory.
I - “Indicates the function is being performed in-house as a result of a cost comparison resulting from a decision to convert from contract to in-house performance.”

 

  This code is eliminated. Functions listed under the 2002 Code I are expected to be listed under Code D in the 2003 inventory.
