U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
FY 2021 Service Contract Inventory
Analysis Plan

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Fiscal Year 2021 analysis will be performed in
accordance with the criteria set out in Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, (Pub. L. No. 111-
117, § 743 (2009)), Appendix D of the November 5, 2010, OMB Memorandum on Service
Contract Inventories, and the December 19, 2011, OMB Memorandum on Service Contract
Inventories.

For FY 2021 analysis, EPA will review the 12 special interest PSCs that were designated to have
the greatest potential for vulnerability. In addition, EPA will select contracts with the greatest
obligated contract dollar and the type of work involved as an initial indicator of risk. The 12
special interest PSCs are outlined in the table below:

EPA will approach it analysis using the following method:

Step 1: Consolidate the data described above.

Step 2: Crosswalk the data with EPA's contractor inventory and FPDS data.

Step 3: Evaluate the data in accordance with Agency and Federal policy and guidance.

Step 4: Develop criteria to identify individual contracts for in-depth review.

Based on the criteria identified and in accordance with the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
EPA will select individual contracts for detailed review in the following order:

Tier 1: Potential for inherently governmental performance by contractors;

Tier 2: Contracts providing professional and management services or information technology

services;

Tier 3: Contracts that do not include professional and management services or information
technology services, but were awarded on a non-competitive basis; and

-------
Tier 4: Contracts that do not include professional and management services or information
technology services, but meet any one of the remaining designated criteria.

To perform its analysis EPA will contact the cognizant contracting officers and contracting
officer representatives to gain access to the contracts and related documents as well as to gather
information via survey, in-person interviews, and reviews of task orders, invoices, deliverables,
and facilities, as appropriate.

The FY 2021 inventory must include a supplement with information collected from contractors
on the amounts invoiced and the direct labor hours expended on covered service contracts. The
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 4.17 addresses the collection of this information.

The Senior Agency Management Official who is accountable for the development of agency
policies, procedures, and training associated with OFPP Policy Letter 11-01 addressing the
performance of inherently governmental and critical functions (this designation is already
required by section 5-4(e) of the Policy Letter) is Raoul D. Scott, Jr. Director of Policy, Training,
and Oversight Division.

The Senior Agency Management Official who is responsible for ensuring appropriate internal
management attention is given to the development and analysis of service contract inventories is
Kimberly Patrick, Senior Procurement Executive.

The individual who can serve on the work group is Linear C. Cherry, III, Financial Analysis and
Oversight Branch, email: cherrv.linear@epa.gov: (202) 564-4403.
