In accordance with the FAIR Act of 1998, Public Law 105-270, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, GSA is publishing this notice to advise the public of the availability of the FY 2012 FAIR Act Inventory. This inventory provides information on commercial and inherently governmental activities performed by GSA employees. The inventory has been developed in accordance with guidance issued on March 26, 2012 by the OMB's Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP). OFPP's guidance is available at: http:// www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2012/m-12-09_ 0.pdf. The GSA has posted its inventory on the GSA.Gov homepage at the following link: http://www.gsa.gov/fairact.
Early last May, Vallie Bray, head of American Federation of Government Employees Local 3147, learned that Phyllis Johnson, director of the Beltsville, Md., Agricultural Research Center, told 18 guards, seven of whom belonged to the union, to look for new jobs. A private company, Johnson said, would take over security at the 7,000-acre facility in a move called a "direct conversion." Then they seemingly got a break. The Office of Management and Budget published a revised version of Circular A-76, the rules on competitive sourcing. The updated guidelines prohibited direct conversions, with a few exceptions. Agriculture complied by letting the security guards enter a "streamlined" competition - an abbreviated version of the standard contests required when more than 65 jobs are at stake. ...
In the 1993 movie "Dave" the faux president calls in his best friend and they stay up all night balancing the federal budget, by cutting unnecessary spending. If only it were that easy. There have been serious and not so serious attempts to reduce government spending, from Ronald Reagan's Grace Commission to something called OMB Circular A-76, a memo from the Office of Management and Budget to all federal agencies that has been around in one form or another over several administrations. To borrow a song from the musical, "Annie Get Your Gun," commercial ventures should look at government and say, "Anything you can do, I can do better" and then they should be allowed to do it.
The subject of outsourcing, A-76 studies and strategic sourcing are familiar terms in government and business. What lies behind the development of increasing activity in this area is an organizational field that legitimizes and perpetuates such activities.

The following article provides examples of "field structuration" that contribute to the perpetuation of these forms of procurement practice. Literature research, interviews and participation as a contracts management professional provided input to the article.
