Sec. 807.304-76  Contract effective date.



    (a) A transition from in-house performance to contract requires a 

period of time from contract award to beginning of contract performance 

(contract effective date). This time is necessary to allow for personnel 

adjustments, e.g., right of first refusal process, and to allow a 

reasonable period for the contractor to make necessary resource 

reallocations. The contract effective date should be carefully 

considered in conjunction with the A-76 Task Group and must be specified 

in the solicitation.

    (b) Although outplacement planning to minimize the effect of any 

necessary reduction in force should be initiated in advace of bid 

opening/receipt of proposals as prescribed by Office of Personnel and 

Labor Relations, there are also employee and labor organization 

reduction-in-force notice requirements which must be satisfied.

    (c) When bargaining unit employees will be affected, facility 

officials also

should review and comply with any employee or labor organization notice 

requirements in applicable negotiated agreements.
