Agency conducting a commercial activities study under Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 did not act improperly in amending the performance work statement (PWS) during its review of the in-house management plan where the agency determined at that time that the PWS did not accurately reflect its minimum needs and the changes to the PWS were provided to the private-sector offerors through amendment of the request for proposals.<p/>2. Agency reasonably determined, during a commercial activities study under Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76, that the in-house management plan reasonably established the ability of the government to perform the requirements of the performance work statement (PWS), and identified and included all costs necessary to perform the PWS requirements.<p/>3. Agency, which during its evaluation of private-sector proposals submitted as part of a commercial activities study under Office of Management and Budget Circular A?76 found that the selected "best value" proposal merely met the requirements of the request for proposal's performance work statement (PWS) and did not identify any strengths in the proposal, was not required to make any adjustments to the in-house management plan, which also was found to meet the minimum PWS requirements. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-290193/html/GAOREPORTS-B-290193.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-290193/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-290193.pdf GAO/B-290193 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-290193 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-290193; Integrity Management Enterprises, Inc.;
